Modern medicine, it seems, is only just now beginning to discover what naturopaths and native practitioners from around the world long have known: namely, that garlic, lemons and the like not only are a source of food but have powerful medicinal properties as well. Garlic and lemons both have a long history of medical use in many cultures – including Tibet.
The remedy given below is an old Tibetan formula which harnesses the power of lemons and garlic together to come up with a treatment that bring enormous health benefits with it.
More about this Drink
This garlic-lemon drink has long been used throughout Tibet to help treat a variety of disorders. It has been known to be effective at improving a variety of digestive complaints as well as preventing serious events like heart attacks or strokes. It was also used to help promote longevity and extend a person’s lifespan.
Most people will find it surprising that this drink is based on only garlic, lemons and water. However, lemons and garlic happen to be two of the most powerful medicinal substances in the natural world. Garlic has been used throughout human history for medical purposes and has long been valued for its ability to strengthen the immune system, support cardiac health and fight off infection. Lemon, too, has a long history of use and is also a wonderful boost to the immune system and a safe and effective way to alkalize the body, thus preventing many serious chronic conditions like cancer. It is high in Vitamin C and the fact that this recipe uses the peel of the lemon as well is significant: the active ingredients in lemon peel stimulate liver function and help the body detoxify naturally.
And of course, let’s not forget the water itself: it is recommended that someone take in a minimum of 8 8-ounce glasses of water daily to maintain optimum health and while of course this remedy is only taken in small amounts, it can still contribute to hydration, which is important for overall body function.
