Disinfecting Orange

Garlic is a vegetable well-known worldwide for its health benefits, medical usages as well as its smell, which has put the “stinking rose” name on it. Its smell basically comes from its sulfur-containing compounds.

In traditional medicine, garlic has been used for its helpfulness in treating a wide range of heart and circulatory ailments such as high blood pressure, high cholesterol and heart attack. It is known for its cleansing and decongesting properties, as well as a good nutrition to prevent cancer.

All these cleansing and decongesting properties of garlic are basically the result of having a high content of orange prana. Orange prana has cleansing, expelling, decongesting and eliminative effects on the body. It is also very helpful for treating cyst and allergies.

Garlic, besides having high amounts of orange prana, also contains high levels of manganese, calcium, phosphorous, copper, potassium, selenium and tryptophan as well as vitamin B1, B6 and C, therefore it is considered beneficial in boosting the immune system.

Garlic is also known as a natural antibiotic and helpful in detoxification and reducing inflammation.

In traditional societies, garlic was used to treat a wide range of ailments including rheumatism, earache, constipation, wounds, insect bites and asthma. Its regular intake was also believed to increase life span and improve general health. During World War I and II garlic was used as an antiseptic to prevent gangrene. It was also believed that garlic is Aphrodisiac. Therefore its intake was not allowed for monks and spiritual practitioners.

Overtaking garlic is not recommended, especially for people with loose bowel movement, vomiting, pregnant women and dying patients, as too much orange prana may aggravate their problem and affect the unborn child. It is also believed that too much regular garlic intake increases body odor. This happens because too much orange prana makes the body sweat, which might create a bad smell. It is recommended to take garlic in moderation for better health.
