In addition, garlic has an abundance of vitamin C, calcium, vitamin B1, B2, B6, iron, folate, manganese, potassium, phosphorus, zinc, sodium, and iron. All of these components are excellent for colds and scratchy throats. Therefore, garlic can be useful when it comes to throat inflammation. The only downside of using fresh garlic is that it makes your breath smell like garlic.
If you dislike garlic, you can purchase non-aromatic garlic capsules at your health food store. Otherwise, simply cut up fresh garlic and add to certain meals such as, in pastas, stir fry dishes, soups or even your fresh salad.
