Frozen garlic arrows for the future for the winter - 3 ways

Of course, we cannot ignore the recipes for harvesting garlic arrows for future use in order to use them in winter.

Common garlic (Allium sativum L.)- a perennial herbaceous bulbous plant of the lily family with flat linear leaves with small flowers collected in umbrellas. The healing properties of this plant were known even to the Sumerians, who around 2300 BC. began to be used to relieve fever, treat tumors and poisoning. The ancient Egyptians widely used it to prevent and treat infectious diseases in slaves employed in the construction of the pyramids. Legionnaires and gladiators of Ancient Rome actively used it to increase their strength in military campaigns and gladiatorial battles, and Claudius Galen, using garlic in his balm, achieved full recovery of wounded gladiators.

Avicenna considered it a remedy for all diseases. Western medicine has also drawn attention to the medicinal properties of garlic. But a truly scientific study of the healing properties of garlic began only in the 70s of our century.

The name of garlic reflects all the taste properties: "burning", spicy. The characteristic pungent taste and strong odor due to the essential oil determine the nutritional use of garlic. In addition to the essential oil, consisting of sulfur compounds, garlic contains nitrogenous substances, alliin glycoside, phytosterols, metal salts, vitamins C (10 mg%), B, B, PP, E, A, many trace elements, of which are extremely important for the body zinc, selenium, germanium. Moreover, the most powerful components in their effect were found not in fresh, but in cold-aged garlic.

Healing properties garlic have been known to man since ancient times. They tried to treat all known ailments with garlic - and it must be said that in a fairly large percentage of cases this brought a certain result.

For example, if you do not have a completely healthy heart, any doctor will certainly prescribe you preparations containing potassium, among other medicines, vitamin-mineral complexes for vascular disorders, calcium is recommended for colds, and iron for anemia.

It is enough to return to the previous section to see: all these substances are contained in garlic.

But you should start with something else: garlic is the strongest disinfectant that affects viruses, carriers of diseases, no matter how it enters the body. Moreover, the disinfecting effect of sulfides (sulfur compounds) is enhanced by the presence of allicin in garlic, which, as mentioned earlier, can be considered as a fairly strong antibiotic.

Among other types of beneficial effects of garlic on the human body, the following should be mentioned in the first place:

• garlic improves blood circulation,
• stimulates the heart
• removes sludge
• improves general tone,
• contributes to the maintenance of performance.

At the same time, garlic has a positive effect on the composition of the blood and the condition of blood vessels, saturates with vitamins and salts of rare metals, that is, the action is complex.

Special mention should be made of the benefits that the regular use of garlic gives in food for severe and chronic diseases of the cardiovascular system.

At the end of the last century, the University of Pennsylvania (USA) issued a special bulletin, which is entitled: "Garlic reduces the risk of cardiovascular disease." Studies conducted by American scientists have shown that garlic lowers blood cholesterol. Recall that cholesterol plaques in atherosclerosis are the main reason that the lumen of the vessels narrows and serious circulatory disorders occur, which can ultimately lead to such serious diseases as myocardial infarction, stroke, etc.

Folk healers have long known about the "anti-cholesterol" effect of garlic, but now scientific medicine, based on experimental data, claims: yes, thanks to the regular use of fresh garlic or preparations based on it, the level of blood cholesterol in some cases decreases by 12-16%.

However, the benefits of garlic do not end there. One of the most important uses of garlic - both in everyday life, and in folk, and in clinical medicine - is its powerful preventive effect.

Probably everyone knows that during an epidemic outbreak of influenza or SARS, increased consumption of garlic can protect you from infection - volatile viruses, having met with garlic phytoncides, die on the fly.

However, not everyone knows that garlic can prevent such “diseases of the century” as permanent stress or chronic fatigue syndrome.

A distinctive feature of garlic is the ability of the elements of its chemical composition to quickly combine with organic substances, which provides a high preventive effect.

One should not forget that the amount of compounds formed by garlic directly depends on the state of the plant itself: an untouched, whole head is practically neutral, but after mechanical processing (for example, pureed, crushed or simply chopped garlic not only contains the already mentioned useful substances (minerals , organic acids, pectins, vitamins), but many compounds are sharply activated in it - sulfur and others, therefore, most recipes indicate that it is desirable to prepare fresh preparations from garlic before each use.

First of all, it should be noted that for centuries the tested and simplest remedy is to simply eat half the average size of a head of garlic once a day.

• 250 g of minced garlic per 0.5 l of 70% alcohol. Insist in a warm place for two weeks. Take 20 drops (in milk or water) three times a day.
• Cut 1 kg of garlic, pour a liter of boiled water, close with a nylon lid, leave for 30 days and take a tablespoon for 0.5 cups of milk half an hour before meals with outbreaks of colds, in autumn and spring. The tincture also cleanses the body of lime deposits, improves eyesight, prevents sclerosis, angina pectoris, heart attack, stroke, prevents the formation of tumors, and rejuvenates the body as a whole.
• Leave the crushed head of garlic overnight in a glass of curdled milk. Means to drink in small portions throughout the next day.
• Grate 2-3 heads of garlic and the same amount of lemons on a fine grater, pour one liter of boiled water and leave for two days. 1/2 st. l. infusion dilute U 2 tbsp. water, taken three times a day, before meals. Aqueous and alcoholic extracts of garlic lower blood pressure, increase the strength of heart contractions.
• Mix equal amounts of chopped garlic and honey (based on 2-3 weeks of intake). Take a teaspoon twice a day (morning and evening), half an hour before meals.
• Chop 200 g of garlic, pour 0.5 l of vodka and insist in a dark place for at least two weeks. After this period - strain and add the juice of 5-6 lemons. Take a tablespoon in half a glass of boiled water three times a day before meals.

Ways to use

By technological processing of garlic, the sulfur-containing compound ajoene was isolated. It has a strong anticoagulant effect, inhibits the growth of pathogenic fungi. Numerous studies confirm the anticancer activity of ajoene in tumors of the stomach and bladder. It is now known that garlic contains more than 100 sulfur-containing components with special healing properties.

Another sulfur-containing compound in garlic, S-allyl-cysteine, lowers blood cholesterol, especially triglycerides, which play a major role in the development of atherosclerosis. Japanese scientists have developed a garlic compound that has a protective effect against liver damage.

Preparations from garlic have become indispensable for diseases of coronary heart disease, cerebrovascular accident and others.

For obese, lethargic people suffering from shortness of breath: mix 400 g of crushed garlic with the juice of 2-4 lemons, pour into a jar with a wide mouth, tie with gauze and leave for 2-4 days. Take 1 time before bedtime 1 teaspoon of the mixture with 1/2 cup of water. Shake before use. After 10-14 days, fatigue will disappear, a good dream will appear.

One of the most effective properties of garlic is its antibacterial action. There is an opinion that during the period of catarrhal epidemics, it is enough to put a necklace of garlic cloves around the child’s neck, and it will protect against pathogenic viruses and bacteria.

Garlic syrup is prepared for diseases of the upper respiratory tract, hoarseness, sore throat.

Pass 10-12 heads of garlic through a meat grinder. Fill the jar with thin layers of the resulting mass and layers of sugar, laid out alternately. Hold on for two days. Strain through a cloth. Take as you would any cough syrup.

Put a few heads of minced garlic in a clean glass jar and pour liquid honey at room temperature. Insist for a day. Take for sore throats, bronchitis, cough every half an hour to an hour for a teaspoon.

Cold sandwiches. Pour boiling water over two lemons, grate. In the resulting mass, add the head of garlic, also rubbed. Stir, add 200 g of butter, which, when softened, would be good to beat with a mixer. It is also good to serve tea brewed on herbs with such sandwiches.

For the prevention of flu and colds, garlic drops instilled into the nose will help. Grind some garlic, squeeze out the juice, add 10 parts of water, the drops are ready.

From colds, bronchitis and pneumonia will help garlic plaster. Grind 5-8 cloves of garlic to a paste. Lay out a layer on a sheet of loose (blotter, napkin) paper and attach the patch with the paper side to the chest, cover with a thicker cloth on top, and then with napkins. Keep no more than 20 minutes.

Or you can just sniff. In a small vial (it is possible from under the medicines), the main thing is that the neck is not wide, finely chopped garlic is placed, closed with a lid. Do 10-15 breaths and exhalations. Then a break.

Garlic is effective for intestinal disorders. Garlic has excellent choleretic properties, the drug allohol, which includes garlic, is widely used. Japanese scientists testify to the ability of garlic to remove various toxic substances from the body through the intestines, in particular salts of heavy metals - lead, mercury, cadmium and other harmful substances.

Prepare a mixture of 1 liter of honey, juice of 10 lemons and 10 heads of grated garlic. Leave for a week in a closed jar. Take 4 teaspoons once a day, but not immediately, but slowly, slowly, one spoon after another. Don't skip days. This amount is enough for 2 months.

Garlic is also effective for less serious problems. Garlic boiled with milk accelerates the ripening of boils and softens painful calluses. Warts, lichen, eczema, and other skin diseases are treated with fresh gruel or garlic juice.

With dry corns and warts, you need to apply chopped raw garlic at night, covering it with sterile gauze or a cotton glove and fixing it all with a band-aid.

For fungal infections, try a hot garlic compress. Mix 3-6 cloves of minced garlic with 0.5 liters of hot water, then add another 0.5 liters of boiling water. Let the mixture cool so that it does not burn, soak a cloth in it and apply it to the affected area of ​​​​the skin. Keep the compress moist and hot by pouring the hot garlic mixture over it. For each subsequent compress, a fresh mixture should be prepared.

To strengthen the hair, the juice is rubbed into the skin.

Garlic can replace iodine for small cuts. The ancient Greeks considered garlic an indispensable remedy for the bite of poisonous snakes. The Slavs in the ancient and Middle Ages also used it for snake venom, so they called garlic "snake grass". In cooking, garlic is added to salads, borscht, and sauces are prepared. Eaten fresh, pickled or salted.

We suggest cooking garlic caviar. To do this, crush 1 head of garlic with salt, add 1/2 cup of walnut kernels and crush again; soak a slice of white bread in water, squeeze, mix with garlic and nuts. Beat the resulting mass with a wooden spoon until puree is formed, adding 3-4 tablespoons of vegetable oil. Add lemon juice, vinegar to the puree, place on a plate and garnish with olives.

How to store garlic?

Pickled garlic. Put the heads of garlic in cold water for three days, changing it 2-3 times a day. Then divide the garlic into cloves, rinse and put in sterilized jars. In each jar, drop 1 bay leaf and 5 peas of allspice (or cloves). Prepare the marinade: for 0.5 l of water - 3 tbsp. spoons of granulated sugar and 1 tbsp. a spoonful of salt, boil. Add to each jar 3 tbsp. tablespoons of vinegar, immediately pour boiling marinade and close the lids. Keep refrigerated.

Peel the garlic, pass through a meat grinder, put in a glass jar and pour vegetable oil. Such garlic seasoning can be stored for 2-3 years. Close the top with a plastic lid.

In autumn, dry the garlic well, put the heads in a saucepan or in glass jars.

Fill the pot to the top with dry salt. Top tie with a cotton cloth, but in any case not a lid. The salt needs to "breathe". You can put the container in any place. You can fall asleep not with salt, but with millet - garlic is also well preserved all winter and does not dry out.

An excellent marinade or seasoning is obtained from the arrows of garlic. It is necessary to break them off not overripe, so that they are not tough.

garlic treatment

For therapeutic purposes, freshly picked garlic should be used, since the antibacterial effect of garlic stored in the refrigerator for four months is reduced by about half compared to freshly picked garlic.

Garlic stored at room temperature completely loses its volatile properties after eight months.

In folk medicine, for therapeutic purposes, decoctions and infusions are prepared from garlic leaves, and garlic bulbs are taken fresh, boiled, steamed, baked, stewed, fried and burnt. But the most commonly used tincture of peeled bulbs.

Garlic inhalation

Crushed garlic aerosol inhalations are effective in the treatment of exacerbations of chronic pneumonia, chronic bronchitis, and in combination with vitamin A they are used to improve the functional state of the bronchial mucosa in occupational dust bronchitis.

Studies conducted by domestic scientists in the middle of the last century made it possible to establish that volatile garlic phytoncides kill staphylococci, streptococci, typhoid bacteria, dysentery bacillus, putrefactive bacteria and many other pathogenic microorganisms in the first minutes of experiments. Already a 15-minute exposure to an aqueous extract of garlic weakens the tubercle bacillus, and after 30 minutes it dies or undergoes drastic changes.

A pronounced positive effect of inhalation procedures for chronic tonsillitis is described: they are carried out with fresh garlic juice diluted with distilled water in a ratio of 1:10 or 1:50.

Disease prevention. To protect against mosquito bites, you should sleep in rooms whose doors and windows are covered with a net; when going outside, dress in such a way that your arms and legs are covered; persons traveling to epidemically unfavorable zones for malaria should undergo chemoprophylaxis.

Garlic-based preparations

It must be said right away that fresh garlic in itself is a wonderful medicine. The same applies to freshly made juice or gruel. But for the treatment of certain diseases, traditional medicine recommends using several more varieties of garlic-based dosage forms. Their recipe and method of preparation, we bring to your attention below.

Decoction

Pour two glasses of water into an enameled container and put on low heat. When the water begins to boil, add a teaspoon of finely chopped garlic and boil for 5-7 minutes. Then remove from heat and leave for at least an hour and a half, then strain through cheesecloth. The decoction is ready.

It should be taken two, maximum three times a day, at least 5 hours apart. Garlic broth is prepared fresh every time, immediately before use, as it loses its healing qualities during storage.

Infusion

Finely chopped garlic cloves pour boiling water, tightly close the container with a lid and wrap it. Infuse in this form should be until the infusion cools to room temperature, after which it is necessary to carefully strain through several layers of gauze.

Ointment

Ointments with garlic should be liquid - they are used mainly for rubbing, although it is also possible to use them in the form of compresses. Oil preparations are especially good in the treatment of diseases of the musculoskeletal system, arthritis, injuries, sprains and muscle pain, as well as certain skin diseases.

Preparation: Peel and finely crush 5-7 large cloves of garlic in a wooden mortar. Transfer the resulting mass to a glass container, add two cups of apple cider vinegar, half a glass of vodka and mix the mixture thoroughly. Then it should be infused for at least two weeks in a cool place, stirring at least three times a day. After this period, the mass must be filtered, add a tablespoon of eucalyptus oil to it and mix well again.

The resulting product is stored in the refrigerator for up to a month, without losing its medicinal properties.

Garlic for inhalation

Crush a few cloves of garlic, place the mass in an enameled container and pour a little water. Put on low heat and heat until abundant steam comes out, but at least twenty minutes. Then the liquid must be cooled so as not to burn yourself with too hot steam.

The procedure itself is carried out according to the usual method: covering your head with a towel, bend over the container and inhale the steam. The duration of garlic inhalation should not exceed fifteen minutes.

Oil candles with garlic

Mix freshly prepared garlic gruel with hot butter in a ratio of approximately 3: 1 and pour into pre-prepared foil molds in the form of cones. Place in the refrigerator to set the mixture. Candles are used in the treatment of hemorrhoids and certain gynecological diseases.

Powder

To prepare homemade garlic powder, peeled garlic cloves are crushed and then dried. Best of all - just in the air, at room temperature, but you can also (at a low temperature) in the oven.

Dry garlic then needs to be ground into powder with a coffee grinder or in a wooden mortar, as our great-grandfathers did.

Garlic powder is well stored (in a dry, cool place), and it is easy to prepare a wide variety of dosage forms from it - but it should be borne in mind that when dried, and especially when exposed to heat, garlic loses its medicinal qualities to a certain extent.

Vinegar

Peel three to five (depending on size) garlic cloves and pour three cups of apple cider vinegar on them (you can also use wine, but apple cider vinegar is healthier). Cover the container with a lid and infuse for two weeks. After this period, strain the product.

Garlic vinegar is not used very often to treat diseases, but as a cosmetic remedy for removing warts and corns, it is simply irreplaceable.

Pharmacy forms

Official medicine recognizes the healing properties of garlic. Everyone is familiar with such a wonderful drug as allohol - and in fact it practically consists of a dry extract of garlic. In addition, dosage forms such as gelatin capsules with garlic powder or oil and garlic tablets are available in pharmacies. Tablets compare favorably with capsules in that they are not afraid of heat, however, in terms of the strength of the therapeutic effect, they are still significantly inferior to them. Very approximately, we can say that three tablets are equivalent to one capsule.

In recent years, new "garlic" medicines have appeared: alisate is recommended for atherosclerosis, and allicor is a good adjuvant in the treatment of hypertension.

Baths

Garlic baths are a highly effective, time-tested remedy for many diseases. The indications for this procedure are very extensive, and even if it is not possible to completely cure this disease with garlic baths alone, the patient always feels much better after them.

By the nature of the baths are cold and hot, sedentary and recumbent, short-term and long-term.

To prepare a garlic bath, you can use different methods: either a special decoction of garlic is prepared, or peeled garlic is placed in advance on the bottom of the bath, wrapped in a soft cloth or linen bag. The optimum water temperature for such a bath should be about 35 ° C. Garlic bath calms the nervous system well, especially if garlic is combined with mint leaves.

Chop about 12-20 cloves of garlic, place in an enameled container of sufficient volume, pour five liters of boiling water. Boil for about half an hour, then insist for 8-10 hours. Heat the resulting infusion to 40 "C and pour into the bath, bringing it to the desired volume. For a lying bath, the ratio of decoction and water should be 1:10, for a sitting bath - 3:7.

Indications:

• with disorders of the nervous system,
• colds,
• inflammatory processes,
• gallstone disease,
• with itching and many skin pathologies,
• as a general cleanser.

Sedentary garlic baths are especially indicated for back pain, radiculitis, but they also help with migraines, thyroid dysfunction, insomnia, and digestive disorders.

A warm bath should be applied twice a day - in the morning and in the evening. After a warm bath, rub the skin with a towel to a slight redness.

With varicose veins, insomnia, migraine, high blood pressure, contrast garlic baths help well, with a sharp change in temperature. Start with a hot bath by soaking your feet in it for about two minutes. Then they are moved to a cold one - for no more than 30 seconds. Then again a hot bath, etc. The procedure should last at least 20 minutes, with a tenfold change of hot and cold water. Finish by dousing the feet with cold water, after which you should immediately put on woolen socks.

Elixir of youth

We give here the recipe for the "elixir of youth", which came to us from ancient times, but remains very popular today. This recipe for rejuvenation was compiled in ancient times by ancient Tibetan healers.

Then strain through 2-3 layers of gauze or a rare fabric, and leave for another three days, after which the product is ready.

Another recipe is to boil a couple of cloves of garlic in milk, mash and apply to the corn overnight, securing with a bandage or plaster. Do it daily, at least five days (preferably a week).

With furunculosis

The remedy proposed below will help well both with single boils and multiple ones (which is called furunculosis).

Soak a strip of soft natural fabric with vegetable oil (preferably olive) and then rub with well-chopped garlic. The resulting bandage is applied to the boil and attached with a bandage. These dressings are changed twice a day - in the morning and in the evening. Under the influence of garlic, the boil opens, and the pus gets out. After opening the abscess, the patient immediately feels better.

There is another recipe, an old one: put on a sore spot a compress of gruel (take at least three cloves) of garlic, mixed with sour cream in a ratio of 2: 1. You can keep such a compress from one to one and a half hours, but not more than two.
