The book tells readers about a plant well known to all of us—garlic—which since the time of the pharaohs has been credited with a whole range of miraculous properties. The author, a science doctor J. Heitermann, who has published many works in the USA on medicinal herbs, summarizes the currently known data about garlic’s healing properties. He offers accessible recipes for using garlic to help with atherosclerosis, arthritis, bleeding, diabetes, flu, and more. Garlic can successfully be used for cosmetic purposes, improving and rejuvenating the skin of the face. This amazing plant may even help a person with cancer and contributes to preventing some types of oncological diseases.
