Garlic remedies from Patanjali co-founder for heart and immunity

Acharya Balkrishnaji, co-founder of Patanjali Ayurved, has shared three Ayurvedic home remedies using garlic for wellness. He recommends consuming raw garlic cloves soaked overnight on an empty stomach to help with cholesterol, heart conditions and joint issues. Garlic oil, made by crushing 50 grams of garlic and cooking it in oil until black, is suggested for bodily swelling, pain and earaches. A mixture of garlic cloves soaked in honey for three to four weeks is advised for sore throat, cough and immunity.

Ayurveda values garlic for its hot potency and rejuvenation properties. It is said to pacify Vata, reduce inflammation, strengthen the nervous system and improve digestion. The remedies also address respiratory troubles like chest congestion. Patanjali markets several garlic-based products including garlic pickle, tomato ketchup with onion and garlic, cholesterol care liquid and Divya Peedanil Taila for joint pain.
