This
species has the same medicinal virtues as
garlic, but in a much milder and less effective form. These virtues are as
follows:-
Garlic has a very long folk history of use in a wide range of
ailments, particularly ailments such as ringworm,
Candida and
vaginitis where
its fungicidal, antiseptic, tonic and parasiticidal properties have proved of
benefit. It is also said to have anticancer activity. Daily use of garlic in
the diet has been shown to have a very beneficial effect on the body,
especially the blood system and the heart.
For example, demographic studies
suggest that garlic is responsible for the low incidence of arteriosclerosis in
areas of Italy and Spain where consumption of the bulb is heavy. The bulb is
said to be anthelmintic, antiasthmatic, anticholesterolemic, antiseptic,
antispasmodic, cholagogue, diaphoretic, diuretic, expectorant, febrifuge,
stimulant, stomachic, tonic, vasodilator. The crushed bulb may be applied as a
poultice to ease the pain of bites, stings etc.
