All About Garlic
Garlic was first found in Asia about 4,000 years ago and eventually it spread all over
the world. It was often used in cooking to make food taste better; however, people
believed that it had other benefits, as well. Some people thought the strong smell
protected them from evil. So, for example, people in the Balkans put garlic on their
doors and windows to protect their families from witches and to keep thieves away
from their cows. Many European fishermen wore garlic to protect themselves from
danger while out at sea.
Through the ages, people have also used garlic to treat and prevent disease. The
Romans used it to treat dog bites and to keep scorpions away. Later on, in the
Middle Ages, people used garlic to try to cure themselves from the plague. Centuries
later, in 1858, the famous French scientist, Louis Pasteur proved that garlic kills
germs. This explains why during World War II, British doctors used garlic to clean
soldiers’ wounds when they didn’t have any medicine. Garlic is also used to help
sore teeth, and mixed with honey, garlic can take the pain away from sore muscles.
Today, scientists understand much more about garlic than before. They know how
uncooked garlic helps cure infections, and which types of bacteria it can kill. It’s no
wonder that garlic has been so popular throughout history! Now we also know that
garlic contains vitamins A, B, C and when it’s cooked, garlic is good for the heart.
