Garlic contain substances that have therapeutic use

Garlic belongs to the Allium (onion) family of plants. Onions, shallots, and leeks are all cousins. Garlic grows in many places of the world and is a popular cooking ingredient because of its strong aroma and flavor. However, garlic's major usage in ancient history was for its health and medical properties. Many important civilizations, including the Egyptians, Babylonians, Greeks, Romans, and Chinese, used it significantly.

Scientists discovered that sulfur compounds formed when a garlic clove is chopped, crushed, or chewed are responsible for a great deal of garlic's health benefits. Allicin is perhaps the most well-known compound. Allicin, on the other hand, is an unstable compound that is only present in fresh garlic after it has been cut or crushed for a short time. Diallyl disulfide and s-allyl cysteine are two more compounds that may have a role in garlic's health benefits.
