Allicinis the
most powerful medicinal compound derived from garlic and provides
the greatest reputed health benefits.
Allicin does not occur in "ordinary" garlic, it is
produced when garlic is finely chopped or crushed. The finer the
chopping and the more intensive the crushing, the more allicin is
generated and the stronger the medicinal effect.
As well as having
antibiotic properties, allicin is an excellent anti-fungal and has
been used to treat skin infections such as athlete's foot. Be cautious:
too much contact with crushed garlic can result in skin blistering. You
should also be aware that a few people are
allergic to garlic. Garlic is powerful and needs to be treated with
respect - see the
warnings page.
Allicin starts to degrade immediately after it is
produced, so its medical effectiveness decreases over time. Cooking
speeds up this degradation and microwaving appears to destroy allicin
totally and eliminate any health benefits.
So for the most powerful medicinal effect, crush a little
raw garlic and combine with the cooked food shortly before serving.
Don't overdo it - too much can produce irritation of and possibly even
damage to the digestive tract. Remember too that raw, crushed garlic
also has the most powerful flavour!
Before taking garlic or any other supplement, consult
your doctor
