Garlic is a fundamental ingredient in many cuisines worldwide, and for good reason. Its active compounds, like allicin, give it potent medicinal properties that can boost health and flavor.

Garlic’s Superpowers:

2. Immune System Boost: Garlic’s antimicrobial and antiviral properties can help fight off infections and support immune function.
3. Antioxidant Properties: Garlic is rich in antioxidants that help protect cells from damage and reduce inflammation.
4. Cancer Prevention: Some studies suggest that garlic may have anticancer properties, although more research is needed.

Garlic in the Kitchen:

1. Flavor Enhancer: Garlic adds depth and richness to dishes, from sauces and marinades to roasted vegetables and meats.

I am also going to add this story I came across on Facebook.

I made an amazing medical discovery that I would like to share with you all. 8 years ago this is what happened

Eight years ago, I  got this Garlic tattoo and it was in the stage of healing
What many of you didn’t know is that I was using garlic juice to heal the wound from the installation of this tattoo.
After cutting the scapes , I extract the juice from a few of them and use it as a topical ointment.
Some of you might already know that Garlic has antibacterial / antifungal properties and so this makes sense.
but on this day I cut so many scapes the garlic juice was literally running down the knife blade and soaking up my hand.
Layers and layers would run and dry creating almost a glue . in fact, I would open up my hand and the knife was afixed to my palm 
I just started wiping the juice on the tattoo at the end of the day today using the flat side of the blade. But this time I had so much juice on the knife I flipped it over and licked the other side and what happened next blew my mind.
All of my mouth including my lips and tongue went numb. The taste was not as spicy as I thought it was going to be but after a few seconds it left me with that Orajel numbing feeling….. I couldn’t believe it !
I had to go to a store and I found a typical to talk and I was heavily drooling.  
Seconds later the garlic taste begin to fade but the numbing did not and it persisted for hours that day . Just like Novocain
This had everything to do with the green garlic sap and I will admit it’s not as strong as Orajel….. yet 😜
I have replicated this experiment every single year with the exact same results 

I put a #PatentFree discovery on this . No one is allowed to patent and claim sole ownership of my discovery as I give it free to the world .  Thats not stopping anyone from making and marketing a drug from it , it is stopping anyone from trying to stop anyone else from making a drug from it
