Alternatively, you can use the following forms: freeze-dried garlic tablets 200 mg, 2 tablets 3 times a day; liquid extract - 4 ml per day; tincture of garlic - 20ml daily; garlic oil 0.03 - 12 ml, 3 times a day.

Method 2 of 2: The Best Way to Cook Garlic

1. 1 Crush the garlic with a garlic press. If a clove of garlic is crushed, then the integrity of the cells is disrupted and two independent components present in different parts of the cell combine and give the substance allicin. You can use different methods of chopping garlic: chop, twist through a meat grinder, chop, crush. All of these methods will promote the formation of allicin. Alternatively, you can simply chew on a clove of garlic.

Note, however, that cooking diminishes the antibiotic benefits of garlic. James Duke claims that cooking for 10 minutes reduces the medicinal properties of garlic by 40 percent. If you cook food for 20 minutes, almost all nutrients are destroyed.
   • Don't microwave garlic. The researchers tried various cooking methods, including boiling, baking, and microwave cooking. Garlic that was cooked in the microwave did not pass the test.
3. 3 Use tablets or capsules if you are concerned about taste or smell. If you really don't like garlic but want to use it as a remedy, get garlic extract from a health food store. Even if you eat garlic with pleasure, it is not yet fully known how effective it is, especially if it has been cooked. Therefore, you can use garlic extract to get the maximum benefits for your body.
4. 4 Use garlic as a remedy for cough and sore throat relief. Raw garlic can be added to home remedies for throat infections and coughs. For example, pour 200ml boiling water over a couple of garlic cloves. Insist 3 hours, then strain and gargle. To prepare a cough suppressant, peel and crush two heads of garlic. Let the garlic stand for 15 minutes (to form allicin). After 15 minutes, crush again in a mortar. Mix the resulting garlic gruel with liquid honey. Insist during the night. Take one teaspoon of this mixture for coughs, colds and sore throat. Be sure to write on the jar what is stored in it.
