Up until World War one it was widely used as an antiseptic. Garlic is antioxidant, stimulates the immune system, anti-parasitic, and helps lower cholesterol. You can take a garlic supplement, but you will receive more benefit if you use fresh garlic in your cooking. The reason for this is because you are consuming the raw garlic in its purest form!
