Garlic

In the time of the pharaohs, when Egypt was at its high of his powers, garlic has been administered to workers and slaves who built the great pyramids, in order to increase their endurance, strength and most importantly -- to protect themselves from diseases. Garlic is proven to cure or assist in the treatment of many diseases.

One of its strongest active ingredients is called Alicin -- a compound that exhibits antibacterial and antifungal properties. Alicin also plays the role of a defense mechanism against pests attack. Scientists have proven that Allicin destroys many bacteria, including some of the worst, often resistant to standard antibiotics.

Garlic effectively cures toothache (in order to stop the pain just chop the onion and put on the aching tooth), cough, sore throat, as well as many other diseases and infections.

Clove

Even today, dentists use clove oil as oral antiseptic and disinfecting root canals (very familiar scent that can be felt in almost every dental office). Eugenol, which is found in large quantities in clove, is regarded as the primary antimicrobial compound of the plant. This fact has been documented by many scientists around the world.

If you want to relieve a toothache, chew cloves for a couple of minutes and the pain will completely stop within two hours. However, Clove is most effective when it is turned into oil.

Oregano

There is over 40 species of oregano. In cooking we mostly use Origanum Vulgare but Origanum Minutiflorum’s oil is considered to be the most effective one. Origanum Minutiflorum’s oil contains up to 90% of the active drug ingredient called carvacrol.

The ancient Greeks used to apply oregano oil onto their wounds in order to treat them faster.They also used oregano to treat snake bites and illnesses of the respiratory tract. However, oregano became popular in Europe in the middle ages, where it was used for treating infections.
