Garlic What is it?Are there interactions with foods? How effective is it?What dose is used? How does it work?Other names Are there safety concerns?Methodology Are there interactions with medications?References Are there interactions with herbs and supplements? What is it? Garlic is an herb. It is best known as a flavoring for food. But over the years, garlic has been used as a medicine to prevent or treat a wide range of diseases and conditions. The fresh clove or supplements made from the clove are used for medicine. Garlic is used for many conditions related to the heart and blood system. These conditions include high blood pressure, high cholesterol, coronary heart disease, heart attack, and “hardening of the arteries” (atherosclerosis). Some of these uses are supported by science. Garlic actually may be effective in slowing the development of atherosclerosis and seems to be able to modestly reduce blood pressure. Garlic: MedlinePlus Page
