From the Herb Garden...

Garlic!  Through my homeopathic studies, I came up with a short list (so far!) of herbs and natural remedies that I have come up with that provide fantastic results for anti-aging both internally and externally over time.  The first one on my list is garlic.  Either you love it or you hate it.  If you love it, great - definetly keep eating it! If not, my goal is to hopefully change that for you.
Garlic has an abundance of properties that help reduce cellular damage (free radicals) not only help to prevent anti-aging, has antimicrobial properties, helps to decrease blood pressure, improve the efficiency of the digestive system, helps prevent certain types of cancer, treats some skin disorders and helps to improve circulation.
Going back in time, the Ancient Egyptians even gave garlic to their laborers to give them strength to build the pyramids. The Roman gave garlic to their soldiers for strength in battle. During the First World War, before the widespread availability of antibiotics, garlic was used on the battlefield to disinfect wounds and prevent gangrene. Garlic is rich in sulfur, foods rich in sulfur help to maintain healthy joints and assist in their repair. Now if that along isn't enough reason to start eating it, I don't know what is!

Garlic truly is one of many of the earth's gifts to mankind (no, it isn't that new Kate Spade handbag you have had your eye on, trust me!) In a nutshell, it really is an all in one healer for various symptoms and really should be given much more credit.  As my hubby says, if it doesn't taste good, its probably very healthy :)

If you are like many and are not a fan of the taste of garlic, try adding it to your favorite recipes to help hide the flabour, or even roasting it in the oven. This one took me a couple tries to get used to but it really is great, and a quick easy way to get tons of garlic intake! 

Roasted Garlic Recipe:

A few bulbs of garlic
Olive Oil
Salt

Slice the end off the bulb of garlic and drizzle olive oil on top so that it seeps in between the garlic cloves and covers them nicely. Use your fingers for even spreading. Sprinkle with salt and roast in the oven at 250F for approximately one hour.
The taste will be less potent and the texture will almost melt in your mouth! 
Not the most delicious recipe I have tried to be honest but definitely one of the most healthy!
