According to Gladstar’s book, “Garlic is the herb of choice in treating colds, flu, sore throats and poor or sluggish digestion… makes a potent internal and external antiseptic, antibacterial, and antimicrobial agent effective for treating many types of infection.”
That is some powerful stuff! There is much more information in the book, it is a wonderful addition to your homesteading or prepping library.
I would highly recommend you start growing your own garlic, it is so easy to do, even from store bought garlic works well.
