Speaking Eco Green

Have you thought about just how important the herb Garlic is-  Pretty important!

With the use of Gardening Tools, you can easily grow garlic in your garden.

I got my information from the book “the good Herb”  Garlic can be used for many different purposes, Ancient Chinese herbalists prescribed it, chewed raw, to ward off colds and coughs. And to keep you healthy and energized.  Vietnamese herbalists, too, believe that raw garlic prevents sickness and fatigue.  In France some people keep themselves healthy by drinking mashed garlic steeped in vinegar.  They call it “Four Thieves Vinegar” and remains a popular folk tonic in France today.

According to reports from the National Cancer Institute and The Journal of Interferon Research, compounds in garlic help to stimulate the immune system, and reduce the body’s stress from pollution.  Garlic also contains germanium, a mineral that can help prevent cancer cells from reproducing.

Even though it’s not a guarantee that you’ll never get cancer, it can’t hurt you either.  Also garlic is good to cook with in soups, casseroles, stir fries, sauces, and savory breads.  Garlic is also useful in the garden, as an intensely aromatic spray that keeps predator bugs away.  To make it, soak one-quarter cup minced or mashed garlic in a quart of water overnight, and strain.  Spray the garlic water two days in a row, wait two weeks, and then spray two days in a row again.

Get out your garden tools, and lets plant something good, don’t forget the Garlic.
