Garlic

Garlic is completely herbal and most remarkable home remedy, which is very beneficial in the treatment of erectile dysfunction and impotence.

Garlic is also known as an aphrodisiac because garlic improves the blood circulation significantly from the medical point of view. Medical researches proved that garlic in certain forms could stimulate the production of NOS particularly in individuals who have low levels of this enzyme. An enzyme called nitric oxide synthase (NOS) is primarily responsible for the mechanism of erection.

Folklore dating back centuries has hailed garlic as an aphrodisiac and now studies have also proven this legend to be true. We are aware that garlic aids in blood circulation and keeps veins and arteries youthful, but that is only one way it helps with impotence.

Garlic contains hundreds of minerals and nutrients. It is very likely that no one ingredient is the "active ingredient". To obtain an erection an enzyme is required called nitric oxide synthase, and compounds in garlic stimulate the production of this enzyme in people who suffer from low levels of it.

It is an herbal, natural and harmless aphrodisiac. According to an eminent sexologist of the United States, garlic has a pronounced aphrodisiac effect. It is a herbal medicine or tonic for loss of sexual power due to any cause, and for sexual debility and impotency resulting from sexual overindulgence and nervous exhaustion. Researchers recommend that two to three cloves of raw garlic should be chewed daily.

Garlic also helps with digestion, as it is gastric stimulant. It acts in many areas such as;

·      It acts as an anti flatulent, carminative and diaphoretic.

·      It stimulates the kidneys and is diuretic in nature.

·      It is a tonic, giving strength and vitality.

·      It is an expectorant having a special effect on the bronchial and pulmonary secretions.

·      It is beneficial for eyes and brain.

·      It helps to heal fractured bones.

·      It is a great antiseptic.

·      It has allicin, which has the property to destroy germs, which are not killed by penicillin. As such, it is a very powerful germicidal.

·      It rehabilitates sexual malfunctions.

·      It improves functional activity of heavy smokers.

·      Half raw garlic clove a day can increase body activity to dissolve blood clots, thereby preventing heart attacks and strokes.

·      A couple of raw garlic cloves daily can bring blood cholesterol levels down in heart patients.

It is very likely that garlic's effectiveness and safety comes from these ingredients working together in concert. And if any particular ingredient should be found more potent than the others, and that ingredient were isolated and made into a medicine, it will probably have powerful negative side effects like virtually every other drug in use today.

Now these days, there are many herbal as well as FDA approved prescription medication such Viagra, Cialis, Levitra, generic Viagra. Viagra and Cialis is successful prescribed medication for erectile dysfunction.

Garlic Allergies

Garlic is generally lauded as a health-giving herb, however some people react badly to it. As with almost any food there are a number of people who are intolerant of or actively allergic to garlic, whether through skin contact an/or ingestion.

Symptoms

Even if you don't have an explicit allergy to garlic, too much exposure to allicin (the compound produced when raw garlic is crushed) can cause similar symptoms. These include skin irritation, reddening and even blistering. Low-level intolerance or excessive intake can result in heartburn or flatulence.

A few unfortunate people do have an actual allergy to garlic. Symptoms vary but often include stomach problems after eating garlic and a skin rash from eating or from physical contact.

Garlic allergy has also been reported to exacerbate asthma symptoms, though this is more usually related to breathing in garlic dust from dry garlic and its skins.

Even if you are not normally allergic or sensitive to garlic, eating an unusually large amount can produce similar reactions. A large amount of raw garlic - with its high allicin content - could irritate and possibly even cause damage to the digestive tract. Garlic is a powerful substance and as with anything powerful it should be treated with respect.

All allergies can be potentially serious. If you suspect that you might be suffering from an allergy to garlic - or to anything else, food or otherwise - you should contact your doctor or a medically qualified clinic for advice and to arrange for testing if appropriate.

My personal rule of thumb for all foodstuffs is simple: If in doubt, don't eat it.

Better safe than sorry.
