Ancient Chinese and Ayurveda medicines have extolled the benefits of garlic for centuries, but the humble bulb’s virtues are only just coming to light in the West.
Both cultures believe consuming garlic regularly can support the immune system, promote heart health and cut inflammation. It's also great for the digestive system and some believe it can even improve skin condition. Oh, and it can ward off rumbly-stomached vampires too. Well, supposedly. Not bad for such an odd-looking plant.
