Garlic – a wonder food.

Garlic! The French love it.  The Koreans love it.  We love it.

Strong and crunchy raw, or soft and sweet when cooked.  Or crushed into a paste with sea salt to be added to anything.   Tasty? Yes!  And also invaluable as a remedy for common ailments as its antiseptic properties can purge your body and help you sleep.  As the cold season gets going in the northern hemisphere, have a crushed clove of garlic with a spoon of honey and a squeeze of lemon in a cup of hot water before bed and you’ll wake up feeling better, sooner.

And it looks like garlic’s wondrous properties can also help fix trees.  It is being injected in to old trees to save them from disease.  It’s not a sustainable remedy as better woodland management is.  But it has special applications and endorses its therapeutic reputation.
