Healing

with onions and garlic

 

Eat Leeks in Lide (March) and Ramsins (Wild Garlic) in May and all the

year after Physitians may play. ~ Traditional Adage

 

The Ancient Egyptians used this plant for its medicinal properties, and

an inscription on the Great Pyramid at Giza records the sum of money paid

for the garlic cloves, onions and radishes used to sustain the health and

strength of the laborers who built the pyramids. The Greek

physician, Galen, christened the plant " heal all " because of its many

 

medicinal properties. Lepers used to peel garlic cloves to eat as a

treatment for their condition, and this gave rise to the name

" pilgarlic " for a leper in the Middle Ages.

 

During the plague of Marseilles in 1726, four thieves who were arrested

for robbing corpses credited their immunity to the disease to wearing masks

soaked in vinegar, garlic and other herbs. This later became known as

" Four

thieves' vinegar " . In the early 19th century, some garlic eating French

priests who were working in the Kondon slums at the height of an infectious

fever suffered no adverse health effects, unlike their Anglican non-garlic

eating brethren. The natural antiseptic properties of garlic have always

been employed for dressing wounds. During World War I, for example, moss

soaked in garlic juice was used as a dressing to prevent wounds from turning

septic.

 

*Mix a finely chopped clove of garlic with 1 tsp. grated apple. Eat

this slowly as a digestive tonic before going to bed.

 

*Pack a dental cavity with garlic pulp to ease the pain until you an

visit a dentist.

 

*Pack a clove of garlic in each shoe to treat whooping cough.
