大蒜被誉为大自然的神奇药草

Garlic The Nature's Wonder Drug

　

大蒜不仅使我们的食物变得更加可口。大蒜也是一种功能强大的天然药物，用于治疗感染、炎症和高血压等疾病，常被称为世界上最大的神奇药草。大蒜素是一种来自生大蒜的化合物，大蒜的大部分药用价值源于大蒜素。1944年，一位名叫C.J. Cavallito的意大利化学家发现了它，并对其有效性进行了研究。

大蒜素外观呈一种油性的黄色液体，发出大蒜的强烈气味。虽然气味可能会冒犯某些人，但很多人喜欢气味的种族，尤其是在他们最喜欢的菜肴上面。它是一种非常复杂的化合物，它遇热溶解，微溶于水，更容易溶于酒精。

研究人员已经对大蒜素抵抗某些病原体的能力进行了研究。研究人员通过分析该化合物的分子结构，锁定了大蒜素的神秘力量:大蒜素通过使触发损害的酶失活来保护大蒜免受害虫和某些细菌的侵害。这项研究的结论是:大蒜是一种有效的天然抗生素，能杀死某些病原体，如病毒、细菌和真菌。

1999年，耐甲氧西林金黄色葡萄球菌通过医院和某些社区传播，进一步研究了大蒜素的抗菌作用。从那以后，大蒜及其强大的化合物大蒜素被认为是治疗感染和其他相关疾病的最有效的自然疗法之一。

大蒜素的健康益处

除了有效的抗菌药物外，大蒜素还有其他的健康益处:

​

　

免疫助剂——一种天然的抗生素，大蒜素刺激白细胞的产生，使免疫系统能够抵御有害细菌和其他形式的病原体。随着抗炎反应的加快，感染就会停止。

血液稀释剂-蒜素有一种类似阿司匹林的作用，可以保持血液稀释。这有助于你的身体消除或避免血栓，这是导致中风和心脏病发作的一个因素。2000年11月发表的一项研究证实了大蒜素的抗血小板特性。

抗氧化剂-大蒜素含有高浓度的抗氧化剂，清除造成身体伤害的有害毒素和自由基。

感冒和流感预防-使用大蒜提取物对抗病原体，包括感冒病毒。虽然它不能治愈疾病，但可以减轻症状。

癌症预防-在古代，大蒜提取物被用来治疗癌变的子宫;后来，其他形式的癌症也被大蒜治疗。今天，研究表明，在经常食用大蒜的地方，癌症患者的数量会减少。这包括法国、意大利和荷兰。

痤疮-痤疮是一种简单的炎症性疾病;因此，可以利用大蒜素的抗菌性能进行处理。使用粉状，将蒜素与水混合，直接应用于痤疮的爆发。这有助于减少发红并使青春痘更快地干燥。

动物咬伤-动物咬伤容易感染微生物，导致感染和炎症。局部大蒜素面霜处理伤口，包括动物咬伤。

膀胱感染——尿路感染通常是疼痛的，并且在排尿、抽筋或有时严重的发烧时伴有烧灼感。蒜素粉在杀灭大肠杆菌中是非常有效的。大肠杆菌是最常见的导致膀胱感染的细菌。

念珠菌病-在女性中比男性更常见。它生长在阴道内，引起皮肤损伤，伴有强烈的瘙痒。将蒜素粉加入酸奶中，每天涂两次，以舒缓瘙痒;病灶需要几个星期才能愈合。

大蒜素的副作用

和许多其他的医学补充剂一样，大蒜素也有它的副作用。这些包括:

口臭-是的，服用大蒜素补充剂可能会引起口臭。因为它是一种含硫的药物化合物，它可以覆盖唾液、牙龈、牙齿和其他口腔组织，导致难闻的气味和许多人不喜欢的味道。

体臭——大蒜的臭臭能通过汗腺，留下一股臭味。

皮疹和过敏反应——对大蒜过敏的人可能对大蒜素补充剂有过敏反应。这可能包括皮疹，气喘，恶心和呕吐，麻疹，有时腹泻。如果你对大蒜过敏，不要服用这种补充剂。

药物相互作用——大蒜可以与一些药物产生负作用，比如对HIV和AIDS的药物saquinavir。大蒜也与华法林和其他血液稀释剂发生反应。如果你正在服用抗凝药物，不要服用大蒜素补充剂。

消化问题——吃大蒜，尤其是生大蒜，可能会刺激胃肠道。如果你有消化不良的问题，可以采取预防措施。不要空腹食用。

You already know Garlic. Now, meet Allicin.

Garlic doesn’t just liven up our food. A powerful, natural medicine, garlic is used to treat illness such as infection, inflammation, and hypertension, and is often called the world’s greatest wonder herb. Allicin, a chemical compound sourced from raw garlic, accounts for many of the herbs medicinal benefits. It was discovered 1944 by an Italian chemist named C.J. Cavallito, who conducted studies on its effectiveness.

Allicin has an oily, yellowish liquid appearance responsible for garlic’s strong odor. While the smell may be offensive to some, many people love the ethnicity of the scent, especially tossed on top of their favorite dish. A highly complex compound, it dissolves through heat and is more soluble in alcohol than water.

Researchers have conducted studies regarding allicin’s ability to fight certain pathogens. Researchers unlocked allicin’s secret powers by analyzing the molecular makeup of the compound: allicin protects garlic against pests and certain bacteria by disabling enzymes that trigger damage. This study concludes: garlic is an effective natural antibiotic that kills certain pathogens such as viruses, bacteria, and fungus.

The antibacterial function of allicin was studied further in 1999 when methicillin-resistant staphylococcus aureus was spreading through hospitals and certain communities. Since then, garlic and its powerful compound allicin has been considered as one of the most effective natural remedies to treat infection and other relative illnesses.

Health benefits of allicin

Besides an effective antibacterial agent, allicin has additional health benefits:

Immunity booster – A natural antibiotic, allicin stimulates the production of white blood cells, enabling the immune system to fend off harmful bacteria and other forms of pathogens. With a faster anti-inflammatory response, infection is stopped in its tracks.

Blood-thinner – Allicin has an aspirin-like activity which keeps the blood thin. This helps your body eliminate or avoid blood clots, a contributing factor in the occurrence of stroke and heart attack. A study published in November 2000 demonstrated allicin’s anti-platelet properties.

Anti-oxidant – Allicin contains high levels of anti-oxidants, removing harmful toxins and free-radicals that cause bodily damage.

Cold and flu prevention – Use garlic extract to fight pathogens, including cold viruses. While it won’t cure the illness, it will alleviate symptoms.

Cancer prevention – In Ancient times, garlic extract was used to treat cancer of the uterus; later, other forms of cancer were also treated with garlic. Today, studies show a lower number of cancer patients in places where garlic eaten regularly. This includes France,Italy, and Netherlands.

Acne – Acne is a simple form of inflammatory disease; therefore, it can be treated using the antimicrobial properties of allicin. Using a powder form, mix allicin with water and apply directly on the acne outbreaks. This helps reduce redness and dries the zits more quickly.

Animal bites – Bites are susceptible to microbes, leading to infection and inflammation. Topical allicin creams treat wounds including animal bites.

Bladder infections – Infections of the urinary tract are often painful and always accompanied by a burning sensation during urination, cramps, or sometimes fever in severe cases. Allicin powder is highly effective in killing e.coli, the most common bacteria responsible for bladder infections.

Candidiasis – Yeast infection more common in women than men. It grows in the vagina and causes skin lesions accompanied by intense itching. Add allicin powder to yogurt and applying to lesions twice a day to soothe and relieve itching; lesions can take several weeks to heal.

Side effects of allicin

Like so many other medical supplements, the benefits of allicin don’t come without possible adverse side effects. Long-term use can have some nasty side effects. These include:

Halitosis – Yes, taking Allicin supplements may cause bad breath. Because it’s a sulfur-based medicinal compound, allicin coats saliva, gums, teeth, and other oral tissues, leading to unpleasant odor and an after-taste that many people dislike.

Body odor –The notorious scent of the garlic can pass through sweat glands, leaving a trail of foul body odor.

Rashes and allergic reaction – People allergic to garlic are likely to have an allergic reaction to allicin supplements. This may include rash, wheezing, nausea and vomiting, hives, and sometimes diarrhea. Avoid taking such supplements if you are allergic to garlic.

Drug interactions – Garlic can negatively interact with several drugs such as saquinavir, a drug for HIV and AIDS. Garlic also has an adverse reaction with warfarin and other blood-thinners. If you are taking anti-coagulant drugs, do not take allicin supplements.

Digestive problems – Consuming garlic, especially raw, may irritate the gastrointestinal tract. If you have an existing digestive problem, take allicin with precaution. Never administer on an empty stomach.

Allicin supplements

Frequently munching on garlic to increase your intake of allicin isn’t necessarily

a good idea. First of all, raw garlic doesn’t taste very good! It also causes bad breath. Instead, take an allicin supplement, commonly available in pills, capsules, paste, or powder.

Not all supplements are created equally. Take a look at these simple considerations:

Not all garlic supplements contain allicin. Instead, some contain alliin, another constituent from garlic that is converted into allicin through an enzyme called alliinase. Supplements that contains alliin may not give you the benefit you desire. Read labels!

Allicin content should be presented in microgram or milligram. For adults (aged 14+), take no more than 12mg/day.

If you can’t find allicin content on a label, look for enteric coated garlic products as an alternative. Such products do have some trace of allicin, but lesser therapeutic value.

Allicin powder extract is the best source for stable amounts of allicin, and good for topical treatments such as open wounds and candidiasis. Choose one that contains at least 180mg of allicin.

Precaution!

All ingested substances, supplement or drugs, should be taken with precaution.

Do not take allicin if you suffer from diabetes, blood clotting disorders, or are taking anti-coagulants and HIV medications. It’s also not recommended for pregnant women and nursing mothers (to avoid allergic reactions that may lead to severe health conditions).
