⚠️ Important Considerations
While garlic is a “superfood,” it is potent. Keep these points in mind:
- Blood Thinners: Because garlic can thin the blood, consult a doctor if you are on anticoagulant medications or scheduled for surgery.
- Stomach Sensitivity: Large amounts of raw garlic can cause gastrointestinal distress in sensitive individuals.
- Children: Garlic is safe in culinary amounts, but consult a pediatrician before using high-potency extracts.
“Were I forced to have only one herb in my kitchen, garlic would be it.” — Rosemary Gladstar, Herbalist.
