Garlic Oil

Garlic Oil Latin name: Bulbus Allii. Part of the plant used: Garlic Product type: Yellowish oily liquid with strong garlic aroma, no sharp taste and smell. Brief description: Essential oil of garlic is a powerful antiseptic, extremely strong in odour which lingers long after the source has been put away and is possibly the most powerful antispetic and odourous among all essential oils. Function: Some scientific research indicates that garlic can have some health benefits, such as diminishment of platelet aggregation and a meta-analysis showing significant (12%) lipid lowering of cholesterol, triglycerides, and low-density lipoprotein (LDL) -cholesterol. There is evidence showing it to have a significant inhibition of aterosclerosis via the use of aged garlic extract (Kyolic) and the protective nature of chronic garlic intake on elastic properties of aorta in the elderly. Regular and prolonged use of therapeutic amounts of aged garlic extracts lower blood homocysteine levels, and prevent some complications of diabetes mellitus. It may have some cancer-fighting properties because it is high in diallyl sulphide (DADs), believed to be an anticarcinogen. In modern naturopathy, garlic is used as a treatment for intestinal worms. Whole cloves used as suppositories are sometimes used as a home remedy for Candidiasis (yeast infections). Garlic is also alleged to help regulate blood sugar levels, and so can be helpful in late-onset diabetes, though people taking insulin should not consume medicinal amounts of garlic without consulting a physician.
