Garlic Wine - A precious medicine of the world
Garlic is the first spice, everyone in our country knows; it is a traditional medicine that every physician knows. However, not many people know that garlic wine originated in Egypt.
Traditional medicine has used garlic to treat many diseases with good results. In ancient tombs in Egypt, people have found prescriptions made from garlic. In China, as early as 2600 BC, there were medicines made from garlic. In Russia, since the 19th century, people have considered garlic as a medicinal herb...
Garlic, scientifically named Allium sativum L., belongs to the Liliaceae family. Garlic contains 0.10 - 0.36% essential oil, of which more than 90% contain sulfur compounds (S). The main component of garlic is alicin, which has a characteristic garlic smell. But fresh garlic does not contain alicin, but has aliin (an amino acid) - this substance is affected by the enzyme alinase, which is also present in garlic when crushed to produce alicin. In addition, garlic also contains many vitamins and minerals... especially selenium. Oriental medicine records garlic as follows: spicy, warm, slightly toxic, enters the liver and stomach meridians, has the effect of clearing heat, detoxifying, antiseptic, eliminating wind, clearing the airways, reducing boils, lymph nodes in the neck, reducing phlegm...

Garlic wine can cure many diseases. |
Garlic can be used in many different ways, but the unique thing is that almost every household in Egypt uses "garlic wine". In the 70s of the 20th century, the World Health Organization (WHO) found that Egypt was a poor country with a harsh desert climate, but the general health of its people was good, with few diseases and a relatively high average life expectancy. Seeing this as a strange phenomenon, WHO sent many medical experts to Egypt to study. The researchers divided themselves into rural areas and penetrated areas with harsh climates to study and collect documents related to health and disease. They had a common observation that every household had a jar of garlic wine to drink, and for centuries, Egyptians have maintained this custom. Through research and analysis, it was shown that garlic wine can cure 4 groups of diseases:
Bone and joint diseases (arthritis, joint calcification, bone and joint fatigue...).
Respiratory diseases (pharyngitis, bronchitis, asthma...).
Cardiovascular disease (hypertension, low blood pressure, atherosclerosis).
Gastrointestinal diseases (heartburn, indigestion, gastric and duodenal ulcers).
In 1983, Japanese medical scientists announced the addition of two more disease groups: hemorrhoids and diabetes, and commented that this was a highly effective medicine with no side effects.
How to prepare and drink garlic wine: Peel 40g of dried garlic, finely chopped, put in a bottle and soak with 100ml of 40 - 45 degree white wine, shake the wine bottle occasionally, the wine gradually changes from white to yellow, on the 10th day it turns to turmeric color and can be drunk. Use twice a day, in the morning drink 40 drops (equivalent to 1 teaspoon) before eating, in the evening drink 40 drops before going to bed. Drink for about 20 days, so soak again every 10 days to have garlic wine to use every day, drink continuously for life. With such a small amount of wine, people who abstain from alcohol or cannot drink alcohol can still use it.
In our country, many people have applied this garlic wine remedy, but the dosage is flexible (some people even drink up to 3 teaspoons of garlic wine/time), but no side effects are seen. The feedback information all shows that garlic wine has effectively treated many different chronic diseases, many people have been cured. It can be said that garlic wine is a wonderful medicine, a gift from heaven for the poor...
Later, many scientists in many countries studied garlic and discovered many valuable therapeutic properties. Notably, its antibacterial and antifungal effects have also been proven - experimental pharmacological studies have shown that garlic has a broad antibacterial and antifungal spectrum. Its antiviral effects have also been mentioned. With the cardiovascular system, new studies show that garlic has the effect of reducing triglycerides and reducing bad cholesterol (LDL), but increasing good cholesterol (HDL), thereby reducing lipid metabolism disorders in the blood. Garlic also has the ability to help the body prevent cancer, which many scientists have acknowledged, but whether it can treat cancer when it has developed into a tumor has not been proven, and further research is needed.
Garlic has many benefits, that is obvious. However, as a medicine, we must take into account the appropriate dosage (medications used in too high doses are also harmful) and side effects, should not be abused. If you use too much garlic, it can cause bad breath, gastrointestinal disorders, thyroid suppression... Therefore, you should only apply the garlic wine remedy with the dosage that WHO has painstakingly researched and popularized. With that dosage, it is effective in preventing and curing many diseases. Paying attention to safe usage means that you can use it daily for a long time without worrying about it causing unwanted side effects.
