How Garlic Does More Than Ward Off Vampires


An old saying goes that if you eat garlic, you are sure to shy away vampires at night. But what is the origin of this saying and does it really have any significance? 

The notion that garlic can kill off vampires and other creatures of the night was a folk belief that was once common among Central European communities. It was thought that garlic's overwhelming pungency would ward off demons, werewolves and vampires, and traditionally would be worn, hung in windows or rubbed around the entrance to the house. Other cultures believe that garlic is a relic of Satan that should be avoided at all costs. Although these superstitions may seem outlandish, there happens to be a bit of useful truth in their purpose.

Garlic is the most powerful antibiotic cure nature has to offer. This unsuspecting herb can be used to treat a number of heart and blood-related conditions, such as high blood pressure or high cholesterol, and is even used by some to prevent common cancers, like stomach, colon and even breast cancer. This is due to a chemical in the garlic called allicin, the same element that makes the garlic smell and probably the reason for the folk belief on vampires. 

Studies have shown that allicin can aid tremendously in weight loss and may even help cure the common cold. Yet it is important to note that the wonderful powers of garlic are optimized when the garlic is completely raw, peeled and crushed, and when it is consumed only as a medicine.The ways to use garlic to fend off real-life vampires like the flu and other diseases:

1. Cold and Fever Cure 
 
An effective cold and fever cure is garlic tea. To make the tea boil some water and crush 1-2 cloves of fresh garlic (peeled) into the bottom of the mug. Then add the hot water, lemon and a bit of honey (to ease the taste) and drink it all down at once. Repeat as often as possible until the fever or cold symptoms subside.

2. Treat Skin and Fungal Infections 
 
To treat skin or fungal infections, garlic can be used topically on a daily basis. Apply a sliced of garlic to a wart spot regularly (about 2-3 times per day) and be amazed at the improvement! The wart or corn may not completely disappear, but any discomfort will subside. 

3. Garlic as an Antibiotic 
 
As mentioned above, in order to use garlic as an antibiotic, it is best not to consume the herb regularly. Studies have shown that eating raw garlic at the onset of food poisoning can kill off the deadly E.coli, Staph and Salmonella bacteria. Chop up garlic and drink it in a tea, this time without lemon, and a bit of honey, and the poisoning is sure to subside. 

4. For Those That Can't Stand the Taste
 
If you are not a big fan of garlic or its taste, there are some allicin supplements that can be store-bought and taken as needed. It is important to remember, however, that the potency of the allicin depends on its preparation, and it can change into a different chemical quickly. For this reason, it is best to by the most natural version of an allicin vitamin where it is available, or stomach the taste of raw garlic just when you are sick. 

5. Bug Repellent 
 
Another way to use garlic harks back to the tell-tale vampire myth. Smearing garlic over the skin not only prevents against bacterial or fungal infections, but can also ward off mosquitos and ticks quite effectively. One village in India uses only garlic to deter the deadly Malaria mosquitos and can attest to the natural and harmless effectiveness of garlic. All that remains is to overcome the sharp smell!

Garlic in its many forms can be used to treat and prevent a variety of diseases and conditions, and, just as the folklore suggests, is nature's miracle solution for warding off the bad.

[www.keralites.net] Bengalurian- Vishwanath Srikantaiah who has recharged more than 1 lakh Wells in the city..

 



Story of Bengalurian- Vishwanath Srikantaiah who has recharged more than 1 lakh Wells in the city :- Vishwanath has been working really hard and smart as a team with local communities and until now has recharged 1 lakh wells and made 10,000 wells functional.

The 55-year-old activist has also received massive support from the well-diggers in the city. Vishwanath along with his team has set the target to recharge 1 million wells in the coming days and they are destined to achieve the goal.


Giving details about how the wells are being recharged, the water activist says, "These recharge wells will use rooftop rainwater and send it into the aquifers, helping groundwater conditions to improve. It will also help the traditional well diggers get a better livelihood."

The Bangalore Water Supply and Sewerage Board (BWSSB) including some few engineers have been constantly working to execute these water conservation tactics at the policy level which Dr. Vishwanath has been following with his 2 active members since more than 24 years.
