The efficacy and function of garlic essential oil

Garlic is a common food. We often use garlic as a seasoning or salad dressing, but few people know that garlic can also be made into garlic essential oil. In fact, the main active ingredient of garlic is garlic essential oil, also called allicin. Garlic essential oil accounts for a very small proportion of garlic, only about 0.2%, so garlic essential oil is a very precious substance.

Garlic essential oil contains more than 140 precious ingredients, and what is valuable is that these ingredients are all natural. They can be roughly divided into two types, one is the non-volatile ingredient, and the other is the volatile ingredient. It is these ingredients that make garlic oil have such excellent effects.

Treatment Effects

Modern physicians, biologists, and pharmacists have confirmed through a large number of scientific and clinical trials that garlic essential oil has six major effects:

1. Antibacterial, bactericidal and virucidal effects. Garlic has inhibitory and killing effects on many pathogenic bacteria such as Staphylococcus, Streptococcus, meningitis bacteria, Escherichia coli, Salmonella typhi, Shigella dysenteriae, Bordetella pertussis and other bacteria and cold viruses.

2. Lower blood lipids, anti-coagulation, prevent arteriosclerosis, prevent and treat cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases. Alkyl disulfide, alliin and allicin in garlic can lower the levels of cholesterol, triglycerides and low-density lipoprotein in the blood, thereby returning blood lipids to normal.

3. Lower blood sugar and reduce the incidence of diabetes. This effect is achieved by enhancing the activity of enzymes in glucose metabolism, improving sugar metabolism and affecting fat metabolism.

4. Protect the liver and inhibit tumors. It protects the liver by inhibiting the damage of lipid peroxides to cell membrane structure. Garlic essential oil can block or inhibit the tumor-inducing effect of chemical carcinogens and inhibit animal transplanted tumor cells.

5. Eliminate free radicals, improve the body's immunity, resist aging and enhance physical strength. Garlic essential oil can enhance the ability of phagocytes, anti-oxidation, enhance the function of SOD, scavenge free radicals and enhance immunity.

6. Lipid-lowering and weight-loss function: it dissolves fat particles and promotes the decomposition of fat, thus achieving the effect of lipid-lowering and weight-loss.

The effects of garlic essential oil are not limited to the six mentioned above, it has many other functions. Garlic essential oil is now gradually being widely used, and people have also gradually developed a garlic nutritional functional beverage, which can enhance human immunity, promote human metabolism, and effectively slow down the aging rate of humans.
