Garlic was worshipped by the ancient Egyptians, chewed by Greek
Olympic athletes and thought to be essential for keeping
vampires at bay! Besides these acclaims (mythical or
otherwise!), garlic has a centuries-old reputation for its
health-promoting qualities. Today, it ranks as one of the most
popular, if not the most popular, herbal health remedies in the
world.
Much has been written about the health-promoting properties of
garlic. In writings from early civilizations all around the
Mediterranean, we learn that garlic was not only used as food,
but also for health purposes and a preservative. The first
garlic "prescription" was inscribed in cuneiform on a Sumerian
clay tablet. Clay models of garlic heads were crafted in Egypt
more than 5,000 years ago, and garlic heads were placed in
tombs, including Tutan-khamen's. An Egyptian papyrus dating from
1,500BC listed 22 healthy uses for garlic. The wisdom of the
ancients was confirmed in modern times when the microbiologist,
Louis Pasteur, put a few cloves of garlic into a Petri dish full
of bacteria. When he looked at it a few days later, he found a
clear zone of dead bacteria around each clove. Both before and
after that discovery, garlic preparations have been used on
wounds and to promote various important metabolic functions.
When garlic is cut or crushed, enzymes react to produce two
powerful agents, allicin and diallyl sulphides, which can help
promote healthy blood circulation and cholesterol levels.
Studies have shown that garlic's other ingredients help the
metabolism convert fats to energy and protect the body against
free radicals. One study in Circulation, the prestigious journal
sponsored by the American Heart Association, suggests that
garlic may help maintain the elasticity of aging blood vessels.
Garlic's sulphur compounds have been shown to have beneficial
properties. Garlic also contains germanium (a mineral trace
element believed to help boost the body's immune system), and
selenium (a trace mineral antioxidant). has a long history of
use for promoting respiratory health. Only recently, however,
have researchers pinpointed some of the components in thyme that
bring about its beneficial effects. The volatile oil components
of thyme are now known to include carvacolo, borneol, geraniol
but, most importantly, thymol. Thymol - named after the herb
itself - has been found to protect and significantly increase
the percentage of healthy fats found in cell membranes and other
cell structures. In particular, the amount of DHA
(docosahexaenoic acid, an omega-3 fatty acid) in the brain,
kidney, and heart cell membranes seems to increase after dietary
supplementation with thyme.
Thyme also contains a variety of flavonoids, including
apigenin, naringenin, luteolin, and thymonin. Combined with its
status as a very good source of manganese, these flavonoids
increase thyme's antioxidant capacity and give thyme a high
standing on the list of antioxidant foods.
Forever Garlic-Thyme combines these two powerful and effective
herbs into an odorless softgel capsule, making it the perfect
delivery system for supplementing the diet and providing maximum
health benefits. Consider adding Forever Garlic-Thyme to your
dietary supplementation program, and enjoy the tremendous
benefits. Your body will thank you!
