SEASONINGS – CULINARY HERBS ARE MEDICINES – GARLIC (ALLIUM SATIVUM) 2
Yet there is a simple remedy to dispel it quickly; just eat some fresh raw parsley at the same time. You can make a tasty sandwich by slicing a garlic clove onto a slice of buttered bread and adding a little Herbaforce.
Like all foods that have a penetrating smell and a strong taste, garlic should be taken in small amounts only, otherwise it could be harmful, especially to the kidneys. Garlic as well as onions contain a sulphurous essential oil that is probably responsible for its effectiveness as a vermifuge, an agent that causes the expulsion of intestinal worms. Garlic milk is excellent for this purpose, as described below. Crushed garlic can also be added to a wormwood infusion instead of milk, to be drunk or used as an enema in the same way as garlic milk.
Half a clove of garlic, placed between the gums and cheek, will often soothe a headache. Earache and headaches often respond to a garlic or onion poultice applied to the back of the neck.
