A regular course of 3 garlic capsules per day should help to clear minor skin infections quickly.
High blood pressure
Garlic is regarded as one of the most effective remedies to lower blood pressure. The pressure and tension are reduced because it has the power to ease the spasm of the small arteries. It also slows the pulse and modifies the heart rhythm, besides relieving dizziness, shortness of breath and the formation of gas within the digestive track.
The average dosage of 2 or 3 capsules a day make a dent in blood pressure.
Asthma
Three cloves of garlic boiled in milk, can be used every night with excellent results in asthma. A pod of garlic is peeled, macerated and boiled in 120 ml of pure malt-vinegar. After cooling, it is strained and an equal quantity of honey is mixed and preserved in a clean bottle. One or two teaspoons of this syrup taken with a fenugreek decoction once in the evening and before retiring, has been found effective in reducing the severity of asthmatic attacks.
Rheumatic affliction
In Russia, Britain and Japan, garlic is used extensively in the treatment of rheumatism and associated diseases. Garlic has been shown to exhibit an anti-inflammatory property which could account for its effectiveness in the treatment of arthritis and rheumatism. The most popular method is to take the garlic cloves orally, although some reports indicate that pain can also be relieved by locally rubbing the affected parts with cloves of cut garlic.
Garlic oil is rapidly absorbed through the skin and into the blood stream and quickly reaches the affected areas.
Chest diseases

Garlic can also be applied externally to the chest with beneficial results as it is an irritant and rubefacent. In ayurveda, a decoction of garlic boiled in milk is considered a wonderful drug for tuberculosis.
