GARLIC JUICE

Traditionally Used For:

Blood Pressure	Immune System
Skin Problems

A Good Source Of:

Calcium	Iron	Potassium
Sodium	Magnesium	Vitamin B-1

Freshness Test:

Look for plump garlic heads. If garlic is old, it will soft and usually it will have gone moldy.

You can grow your own garlic quite easily.

Important:

Garlic is quite strong, as you probably already know. I personally never juice more than 1 clove of garlic.

General:

Garlic is very high in sulfur which is an important nutrient for the skin. Garlic is also used traditionally as a natural anti-biotic. In fact, during World War I, medics used Garlic for anti-biotic purposes.

Many people have a little bit of Garlic when they have a cold.

I like to juice Garlic first and then juice other vegetables to help remove the smell from my juicer. I like to use parsley or other chlorophyll rich vegetables after juicing Garlic. The reason why is because chlorophyll helps to remove the smell of Garlic.
