Amazing Health Benefits Of Garlic Tea And How To Prepare It

Garlic is famously known around the world and is a popular ingredient in cooking. It is closely related to leeks, shallot, and onions. Each segment of a garlic bulb is called a clove.

Since ancient history, garlic has been used in treating various diseases such as colds and flu. Most of its health and medicinal benefits are mainly due to the sulfur compounds formed when a garlic clove is chopped, crushed or chewed. These sulfur compounds produce potent biological effects once they enter the body from the digestive tract and travel all over the body.
