GARLIC (SEED) OIL
(Allium Sativum)
Cold pressed with a light yellow hue, our food grade garlic seed oil contains selenium which when taken internally, helps to prevent blood clots. Selenium is also useful in the fight against dandruff. Another natural component found in garlic is allicin. Allicin is a great anti bacteria component which is also attributed to the strong garlic scent. Sulphur is also present in garlic. This helps to nourish hair, finger nails and skin.
For a simple tea, add 1 drop of garlic oil to crushed ginger, pour freshly boiled water over it and drink. This helps to soothe any sore throat.
Another natural alternative to cough mixture is 1 drop of garlic oil with honey. This should be prepared as and when needed.
Great oil for conditioning the hair - try it mixed with Jamaican black castor oil as a scalp tonic.
Garlic seed oil is powerful and we have noted that ~1.25ml is sufficient to add to 1kg meat/fish as a marinade. It can also be mixed with olive oil as a salad dressing - very tasty with anchovies + olives. |
