hi,

thanks for sharing....

I know all this info. but we dont eat garlic. garlic pearls is a boon to people like us....

 

take 2 steamed garlics daily with a tsp of honey -- this aids in good digestion ; relives stuffiness of the tummy.
its good for common cold ;its said that garlic reduces the complications in pregnancy;

note:
raw garlic is very strong, so too much of raw garlic can irritate /damage the digestive tract.:evil:

apart from brushing & mouth-wash, can chew a sprig of fresh parsley....this can help alot:-D :thumbsup

Hi subha,

Thank u so much for very useful information.
In short, garlic is a very powerful herb that has quite a few uses besides cooking and getting rid of vampires. Many people in India still use it for many common aches and pains that come with everyday living, and of course use it in most of their foods because they believe that it promotes a long and healthy life.

 

I dont get raw garlic I feel its too spicy..

but I use them while cooking and make garlic rasam weekly.

Thanks for the info sudha

Garlic is known universally as the stinking rose, the term reportedly going back to Greek and Roman times. But why? The "stinking" part is obvious, but why "rose"? Garlic is an allium which is part of the Liliaceae family. Garlic is closer to a lily than a rose. So what is the origin of the name?

Unfortunately there is no clear answer to this question. <!--[if gte vml 1]><v:shapetype id="_x0000_t75" coordsize="21600,21600" o:spt="75" oreferrelative="t" path="m@4@5l@4@11@9@11@9@5xe" filled="f" stroked="f"> <v:stroke joinstyle="miter"/> <v:formulas> <v:f eqn="if lineDrawn pixelLineWidth 0"/> <v:f eqn="sum @0 1 0"/> <v:f eqn="sum 0 0 @1"/> <v:f eqn="prod @2 1 2"/> <v:f eqn="prod @3 21600 pixelWidth"/> <v:f eqn="prod @3 21600 pixelHeight"/> <v:f eqn="sum @0 0 1"/> <v:f eqn="prod @6 1 2"/> <v:f eqn="prod @7 21600 pixelWidth"/> <v:f eqn="sum @8 21600 0"/> <v:f eqn="prod @7 21600 pixelHeight"/> <v:f eqn="sum @10 21600 0"/> </v:formulas> <vath o:extrusionok="f" gradientshapeok="t" o:connecttype="rect"/> <o:lock v:ext="edit" aspectratio="t"/> </v:shapetype><v:shape id="_x0000_i1025" type="#_x0000_t75" alt="white rose" style='width:180pt;height:135pt'> <v:imagedata src="file:///C:\DOCUME~1\ADMINI~1\LOCALS~1\Temp\msohtml1\01\clip_image001.jpg" o:href="http://www.garlic-central.com/white-rose.jpg"/> </v:shape><![endif]--><!--[if !vml]--><!--[endif]-->
In their excellent book Garlic: Nature's Original Remedy Stephen Fulder and John Blackwood discuss the issue. The ancient Greek name for garlic was scorodon. According to Fulder and Blackwood, French physician Henri Leclerc derived this from skaion rodon which he translated as rose puante, or "stinking rose".​

This still doesn't explain why garlic should have been considered a rose in the first place. One possibility is that if looked at from underneath a bulb of garlic does slightly resemble a white rose with the large ends of the cloves forming the petals. Personally I find this rather a stretch of the imagination.

cheers...!!!
