Garlic certainly has some wonderful properties but you need to check that it doesn't interfere with some meds, i.e. blood thinners and living alone would be a bonus too when eating garlic lo :)

Garlic is a natural antibiotic, it won't treat a lung infection once you have one but it sure can help keep the bugs away and sometimes it keeps the people away too. ;)

I don't supplement but take the real deal with my food most days.

Have a relative who is a pharmacist and herbalist and he eats 6-10 clove segments a day, purely for the food value.

I think the supplements you may have to be more cautious with in some cases.

Here is the drugs interactions checker for garlic oil (there are quite a number of drug interactions):

It may be quicker just to ask your doc or pharmacist.

Here is the drug interactions checker main page if you want to check something else

Another good food to include in meals is fresh root ginger, it goes great with most things. Has lots of helpful nutrition and healing properties.

Chilli is also a good respiratory food sources along with other spices and herbs.

Hi Carol just check the interactions with your existing medications before you go ahead with taking any supplements, if you are unable to take garlic and culinary herbs or spices in cooking or with food in the usual way. Your doctor or pharmacist can advise.
