Garlic acts as a blood thinner and therefore good for controlling blood pressure.

Eating raw garlic early in the morning to control blood pressure is practised

throughout India. Drinking plenty of water, eating healthy and exercise also helps

control blood pressure. If none of this works, then you may have to take the

prescribed medication. Remember to tell your doctor if you are taking raw garlic

every morning especially if you are going for any surgery. It has the same effect as

Aspirin.

 I was a very clumsy girl growing up in India. I would constantly bang my open toe

to the threshold and sprain it. It would swell and become very painful. My mother

crushed garlic, heated it in coconut oil and applied it warm on my toe covering it with a

light bandage two or three times a day. Within two or three days my toe would heal

completely.  

Garlic boiled in coconut oil can also be very effective for ingrown toe nails. With a

dropper put a drop where the ingrown toe nail troubles. Use as hot as you can take. This

works well when the toe just starts growing in and when the problem is not severe.

I recently heard that boiling water poured on slices (about 4) of ginger and two

cloves of crushed garlic and drunk the next morning is excellent for high cholesterol. 

Drink this water first thing in the morning.
