Garlic has been an effective remedy for over the past 3000
years. Researchers and doctors agree that garlic has antibacterial, antiseptic
and antibiotic effects. Of course, when using garlic to treat diseases, it’s
like any other herb, you have to use it with caution. Like other remedies,
garlic has side effects.
Body odor
Garlic can cause
some side effects on body odor.
Body odor is the main side effect of consuming too much
garlic. After the garlic passes your digestive system and is completely
discharged from your body, any secretory gland of your body will have the smell
of garlic. The smell will last a week time after the consumption of garlic.
Meanwhile, your body will be working on getting rid of the garlic.
Halitosis
It’s well-known how foods could affect our breath after
eating them, so eating garlic will bring apparent effects. Drinking garlic
juice and eating fresh garlic will cause bad breath from medium to extreme
levels. Fortunately, it’ll be gone after we stop eating the garlic and brush
teeth. However, certainly you’ll have bad body odor in the next hours.
An anticoagulant remedy
Be careful
consuming garlic before having surgeries.
Because garlic can thin blood, it is considered having
anticoagulant effects. Be careful consuming garlic before having surgeries or
if you’re on any anticoagulant medication to avoid the risk of overbearing
bleeding.
Discomfort in the stomach
Some people can feel different kinds of discomfort in their
stomach after eating fresh garlic. These side effects can include stomachache,
diarrhea, vomiting, flatulence and digestive disorders caused by acids.
Allergy
Garlic can bring
you allergic reactions like any other food or herb.
Like any other food or herb, allergy (it’s not common in
garlic, though) is a probability. It could be rash on the skin, vomiting,
headaches, fevers and breathlessness. Of course, if there’re signs of a swollen
tongue, swollen mouth or throat, see a doctor immediately.
