On this little adventure of and I, she wanted to go into the forest(which we are allowed to) FYI, since the start of Spring in Europe and we have come to the understanding that the Ramsons garlic🌱, Allium, also known as Wild, Wood, Bear’s or Hog’s garlic, is a bulbous plant found in Europe and northern Asia. Bears are said to seek out the plant in spring for digestive cleansing. The herb has similar medicinal virtues as common garlic and is often recommended as a digestive cleanser and to promote healing in chronic skin outbreaks and infections. German researchers list the use of Ramsons garlic herb in folk medicine as a carminative for treating gastrointestinal upsets to expel gas. The authors note that the antibacterial action of the herb makes it appropriate for use in treating other dyspeptic complaints as well. Ramsons garlic is also believed to prevent high vascular tension, high cholesterol, and other circulatory problems. One compound found in Ramsons, ajoene, is known to inhibit thrombocyte aggregation (reduces blood platelet stickiness) and another compound, (+)-S-methyl-L-cysteine sulphoxide, decreases blood cholesterol levels. Ramsons can be found in many prepared teas for heart health maintenance and circulatory support. The leaves can be added to hot or cold food but lose much of their essential oils and value when dried. Ramsons bulbs can also be used like common garlic, Allium sativum, and are considered even stronger. Garlic bulbs have many established medicinal virtues including: antimicrobial effects; abnormal growth prevention/treatment; blood sugar control benefits; immune stimulation; anti-inflammatory effects and antioxidant benefits. Numerous clinical trials with garlic cloves and standardized garlic powder tablets leave little doubt that modest amounts of garlic have significant vascular benefits by reducing serum cholesterol, improving blood lipid profiles, reducing vascular pressure and platelet aggregation, improving blood flow and reducing vascular hardening.
