Blood garlic

Garlic (Allium sativum) Garlic lowers cholesterol and triglyceride levels, decreases blood pressure, and reduces the clotting capability of blood. Garlic is an antibiotic for internal and external treatment of infections and wounds. Warm garlic oil is used to treat earaches. [Pg.84]

Garlic Allium sativum Lowers blood sugar, cholesterol, and lipids May cause abnormal blood glucose levels Increased risk of bleeding in patients taking the coumarins, salicylates, or antiplatelet drugs. [Pg.660]

The olfactory receptors can be stimulated by bloodborne odors. Garlic odor, carried in the blood, can be perceived olfactorily (Maruniak etal., 1983). [Pg.95]

Yellow phosphorus burns spontaneously in air, and the vapor released is irritating to the respiratory tract. The early signs of systemic intoxication by phosphorus are abdominal pain, jaundice, and a garlic odor of the breath prolonged intake may cause anemia, as well as cachexia and necrosis of bone, involving typically the maxilla and mandible (phossy jaw). In chronic phosphorus intoxication, lowered potassium blood levels or increased chloride concentrations along with leukopenia have also been reported. ... [Pg.583]

Fresh garlic may have some cardiovascular benefits, but it is unclear whether it lowers blood lipids or blood pressure as much as originally thought. Aged preparations and cooked garlic are likely to be less effective despite being better tolerated. [Pg.789]

In a brief report, a potential interaction between curry and chlorpropamide, leading to reduction in chlorpropamide dose in a 40-year-old woman was attributed to the garlic and karela components of this complex mixture (70). Garlic reportedly can lower blood glucose. However, there was no information provided regarding the estimated amount of garlic intake in this patient. To date, there are no formal studies that confirm the initial clinical observation or evaluate the likely mechanism. [Pg.37]

Because of reported antiplatelet effects, patients using anticlotting medications (eg, warfarin, aspirin, ibuprofen) should use garlic cautiously. Additional monitoring of blood pressure and signs and symptoms of bleeding is warranted. Garlic may reduce the bioavailability of saquinavir, an antiviral protease inhibitor, but it does not appear to affect the bioavailability of ritonavir. [Pg.1357]

If this stone before being calcined is placed in the water of onions or of garlic and should remain there three days it entirely loses its power but it will recover it if it is placed in goats blood for three days so the blood be renewed each day. And he who wishes to deprive it of its power which it possesses from heating, let him put on it a little goats blood and he will thus deprive it of its power. [Pg.209]

Garlic (Allium sativum) is thought to have several beneficial cardiovascular effects, such as lowering blood pressure and serum lipid, and antithrombotic activity. Garlic oil has been reported to interrupt thromboxane synthesis, thereby inhibiting platelet function. [Pg.45]

Garlic has been reported to have lipid- and blood-pressure-lowering properties, as well as antiplatelet, antioxidant, and fibrinolytic effects. In animal models and human cell cultures, it has been shown to have antiatherosclerotic activity (see Chapter 50). The sulfur-containing component, allicin, is considered to be the principal active ingredient of garlic, but several other bioactive ingredients have also been isolated. [Pg.62]
