It could be that you live in a time of vampires and werewolves. In this case, sleeping with a clove of garlic under your pillow should also be supported by a silver cross above your bed, holy water at the door and a wooden stake at your right hand.But even if you don’t live in medieval Transylvania, there are still magical properties claimed for this legendary, yet humble vegetable.

It is claimed garlic can help you to have a restful sleep; that consuming it can give you greater energy; that you can use it to ward off the common cold;

and that its anti-bacterial properties can be used to heal small wounds on the surface of the skin.Garlic (scientific name Allium sativum) is a root vegetable species in the onion genus.

It is native to Central Asia and North-eastern Iran. It has long been used as a source of food flavoring and has been used in traditional medicine since the time of the Ancient Egyptians.

Ancient Romans and Greeks are said to have used it not just to flavour food but also to cure illnesses. It is claimed to have natural anti-bacterial effects which were utilised to ward off smallpox, common colds and “dropsy”.

Garlic has a strong aroma which lingers on the breath when ingested. It is common in dishes from the Mediterranean and Asia. It is often combined and served with onions. When cooked, the flavour is retained but the key vitamins and minerals are lost through the heating process.
