Using Garlic to Eliminate Fungal Infections
In order to use garlic for this purpose, you should take about five cloves of this vegetable a day. Keep in mind that you will need to crush each clove before consumption. Typically, there are between ten and twelve cloves in one pod of this veggie. In addition, don’t forget that it is crucial to wait for about after 15 minutes after you crush them.
The reason why there is a waiting period before consumption is simple – allicin, the most useful enzyme found in garlic, which creates anticancer and anti-fungal effects is released after this period of time.
