Garlic Allium sativum Garlic is well known for treating many illnesses, such as asthma, athletes foot, bacterial infections, constipation, diabetes, fungal infections, high blood pressure, high cholesterol, and aiding wound healing. Many forms of garlic can be found, but those claiming an odorless effect should not be considered for use, for the effectiveness of garlic is located in the chemical allin, which also is the chemical that gives garlic its pungent odor. Side effects Consult a doctor if using garlic and you experience dizziness, irritation of the mouth, throat, or stomach, nausea or vomiting, excessive sweating, or rash, as these could be signs of allergic reaction.

According to various studies conducted, it was found that garlic has the property to reduce the density of blood or reducing its thickness. The clinical trials gave the results that it can reduce the cholesterol level in the range of 10- 13% very easily.

Garlic as an herb has been successfully tested for reducing the cholesterol level specifically low density cholesterol as well as triglycerides. The type of cholesterol which our body needs for the proper functioning is the high density cholesterol. Allium sativum (Garlic) helps in increasing out the level of high density cholesterol without bringing in major side effects.

Although statins have been used for lowering the cholesterol level but the fact is that, it along with lowering the cholesterol level also brings in a lot of side effects. The best alternative to avoid side effects is to use Allium sativum (Garlic).

Mode of action
Allicin the major constituent present in the garlic acts specifically on two types of enzymes present in the body:-

* Cystenine proeniases
* Alcohol dehydrogenase

These two enzymes function by acting on the invading antigens and destroy them. Also they have a major role in the metabolism process. Allicin enzyme gets activated when it reacts with sulfa- hydryl group. This complex when formed is responsible for lowering down the cholesterol level in the body.
