Garlic's many uses

As far back as the middle ages garlic was used to cleanse the body of parasites, and even as an antiseptic for wounds. In this day and age we use it for lowering high blood pressure, lowering cholestrol and even as a gargle or mouthrinse during a bad bout of the flu. I know, mouthwashes should sweaten the breath but if it makes you feel better you can eliminate the odor by chewing on fresh parsley or taking a soaking hot bath. The garlic odor will release from your pores. Deer don't eat garlic! That's one of the reasons we grow it. Aphids and other chewing and sucking pests also don't like garlic, in any form. By planting garlic among your vegetables ( tomatoes and eggplants) you deter them. In addition, a book titled "Roses love Garlic" suggests planting garlic amongst your roses to deter pests. It works!!! We use a spray of garlic and soap to deter a whole range of pests. If you can garden organically, we all will be healthier. Try it.
