Garlic Herbal Remedy

Garlic (Allium sativum) has been revered for centuries as both a food and a powerful natural medicine. Known for its pungent aroma and rich sulfur compounds, garlic has been widely used across cultures to strengthen immunity, support cardiovascular health, and fight infections. Ancient Egyptians, Greeks, and Chinese all recognized its ability to promote vitality and resilience. Today, garlic continues to be valued as one of the most versatile and effective herbal remedies for daily wellness and chronic health support.

Medicinal Uses

• Antimicrobial Action - Contains natural compounds that help fight bacteria, viruses, fungi, and parasites.
• Cardiovascular Health - Supports healthy blood pressure, improves circulation, and helps regulate cholesterol levels.
• Anti-inflammatory Benefits - Assists in reducing inflammation throughout the body, supporting joint and tissue health.

Garlic is one of nature’s most potent and reliable herbal allies, offering protection against infection, support for the heart and circulation, and powerful immune-strengthening benefits. Used daily in food or as a supplement, it provides both preventative and therapeutic effects, making it a staple in natural health care. With its wide-ranging actions and long history of use, garlic continues to be a trusted remedy for enhancing resilience and promoting long-term vitality.

Available Formats: Elixir, Tincture, and Glycetract

We offer this herbal remedy in three different preparations to suit a variety of health needs, taste preferences, and sensitivities. Whether you're looking for a traditional alcohol-based tincture, a sweet and nourishing elixir (also contains alcohol), or a gentle alcohol-free glycetract, you can choose the form that’s right for you or your loved ones.

Glycetract (Glycerite)

Glycetracts are alcohol-free extracts made using vegetable glycerin and water. They are ideal for those who are sensitive to alcohol, including children, pets, or those with liver conditions. While they are not always as potent as tinctures, they are still effective and particularly well-suited for milder conditions or long-term support.

Best for: Children, pets, those avoiding alcohol, or for use during pregnancy and breastfeeding (with practitioner advice).

Elixir

Elixirs are traditional herbal preparations made using a blend of alcohol, Glycerin, and water. They are often used when you want both therapeutic action and a palatable, sweetish flavour, especially for those who prefer not to taste the bitterness of herbs.

Best for: Adults and children - ages 1+, general wellness and those who dislike bitter tinctures.

Tincture

Tinctures are highly concentrated herbal extracts made using alcohol as a solvent. This is one of the most effective ways to extract the full medicinal spectrum of most herbs, including alkaloids, essential oils, and resins.

Best for: Adults or those looking for fast, potent results. Not ideal for those sensitive to alcohol, reformed alcoholics or for young children under 1.

Which One Should I Choose?
