Garlic reduces high blood pressure: Home herbal remedies
Apart from reducing cholesterol, garlic also reduces high blood pressure.
A recent study conducted on garlic intake reveals that garlic supplements help in reducing high blood pressure levels. The researchers found that the garlic supplements reduced systolic blood pressure by 8.4mm Hg and diastolic blood pressure by 7.3mm Hg.
Garlic is also called Allium sativum. It is one of the most studied herbs related to heart benefits. Garlic is also used to treat stomach and colon cancer. Garlic also prevents atherosclerosis.
People who have bleeding disorder should exercise caution using garlic as it acts as a blood thinner. Other side effects of garlic are bad breath, body odour, heart burn, stomach upset and other allergies.

I receive a few different alerts and I must pass on a garlic story. I have been in the garlic businmess for a few years and have read most of the garlic articles over the years. I hadn’t seen a real case study until I fed our poor hound dog a few cloves mixed in with her dinner. Our vet’ has told us she has a flea allergy. Our friends and neighbors all suggest different insecticides, dips, flea and tic drops ( frontline and others, diets, electronic devinces, cedar shavings, etc.( $$$)I have seriously been not only contemplating euthanasia, but had discussed it with the wife and kids………..she was just sooo miserable. Nothing has come even close to the results that two cloves a day have made. It has been over a week since I have seen her bothered by any critters.. She used to keep us awake at night, and had lost most of her fur from scratching. It is truly an amazing plant. Some studies still use the wording “May” to protect themselves from the lawyers, but let’s face it “Garlic Is Amazing”. I think I’ll put her on my website as the “Poster Child” (pup?) for one of garlics miraculous health benefits.
