Garlic Oil Origin and Extraction

Garlic Oil is derived from crushed garlic cloves.  When crushed, the cloves release allicin, the active ingredient in garlic. Allicin also gives garlic its pungent odour. Some methods of crushing the garlic clove act to remove the odour, but this tends to make the allicin less effective medicinally.

The botanical name for garlic is Allium sativum.

Garlic Essential Oil Indications/Uses  

Garlic Essential Oil is anti-bacterial, fungicidal and insecticidal. It is often used to treat conditions related to skin such as pimples, ringworm, acne and abscesses. It is also effectively used to treat digestive difficulties, as an aid to circulation of both blood and lymph, to help control diabetes symptoms and to aid with upper respiratory infections and difficulties.

Garlic oil helps to lower cholesterol, helps prevent hypertension and promotes heart health.

The oil has proven to be effective at removing cancer-causing free radicals from the body and can also be a powerful antioxidant.

Garlic Oil has general tonic properties and promotes overall health.

Garlic Oil Contra Indications

Avoid usage in the case of known or developing allergic reactions to garlic.

Breast feeding mothers may want to discontinue use of garlic oil as garlic has shown to alter breast feeding behaviours in infants.

Garlic Oil may interact with certain other medications or preparations. Discuss with your health care practitioner prior to using with saquinavir plasma or warfarin.

Essential Oils are natural, contracted oils that have the fragrance of the plant from which they originated. Most typically, the oils are extracted from the plant through distillation. In many cases, the distillation process involves the use of steam.  As steam passes through the plant’s stems, seeds, flowers or leaves, it assists in vaporizing the volatile compounds.

While essential oils have various uses, they have a long documented history of medicinal value. Essential Oils can support overall health, act as a treatment or remedy for various medical or psychological conditions or help prevent infections and illness.

Essential Oils should not be used on animals as they can have adverse effects.
