Lets transport ourselves back in time for a moment and think about how our ancestors coped during periods of illness. The major drug companies weren't in existence, there was no chemist to nip along to, no pharmacist on hand to offer some friendly advice, so they got on with life and did the very best that they could do with the equipment that nature had to offer. Ancient healing concentrated on every part of the body, holistic healing was then the keyword. Mind, body, emotions and spirit were all taken into account as a cure was sought.
Now the first sniff sends us flying off to the Doctors surgery thinking we have contracted some deadly virus and medical research is as it has never been before. No longer do we have to go herb hunting to make that crucial potion, all we need is there either in the health food store or the chemists.
But it still never ceases to amaze me how much trust our forefathers put into natural healing. I would suppose that one of today's main uses for garlic would be in the kitchen, used to flavour many different foods. I enjoy the whole garlic experience, the stronger the better but as we all know the next day we have the `Battle of the breath !`. The ancient Greeks swore by the bulb, it was considered an aphrodisiac, although interestingly enough Hippocrates recommended eating lentils if you wanted to stay virile in later life. Until the discovery of penicillin in 1928 the Russian army used garlic to help heal their wounded soldiers and today herbalists worldwide still sing the praises of the humble bulb.
Garlic is a member of the onion family, each large bulb is made up from many cloves that are joined together. Today the pungent bulb is used both in medicine and in the kitchen to enhance the flavour of certain foods. The bulb is separated into cloves and then each clove is peeled, the outer coating of the clove can't be eaten.

Maybe many people would shy away from the whole idea of taking Kwai garlic tablets on a day to day basis thinking that they would become a social pariah due to the lingering smell that seems to last forever after eating it. Lets face it, if you stand behind someone who has recently enjoyed a meal laced with garlic then the experience isn't among the most pleasant ones that you will ever have. The smell of the garlic even seems to seep through your skin, although the meal was so good at the time it is very hard to disguise the fact for a long while afterwards!
Kwai Garlic tablets are odourless so there are no worries on that score, you taste nothing when you swallow them and they leave no strong smell in their wake. Each tablet is coated 60 times to ward off any unwanted after smell.
How can taking Kwai Garlic tablets regularly help us? That is a good question. A few years ago I was constantly catching a cold. I just put it all down to the fact that my immune system must have been low at the time. No sooner than I had got over one bout of the sniffles the next was on it's way, it was getting past a joke. So, on one of my frequent visits to Holland and Barrett I decided to pick their brains. Immediately they suggested taking garlic on a daily basis, I admit I was not either impressed or convinced!
So the assistant and I systematically worked our way through the benefits. Just one Kwai Garlic tablet will help to top up your levels of Vitamins C, B and A. If you are prone
to catching colds then the garlic can help to see it off that much quicker. Kwai garlic contains a wealth of minerals , all of which are very valuable to our bodies. Apart from helping to ward off and lessen the impact of colds it also plays a valuable part in helping maintain regular blood pressure. It is also said that a daily intake of garlic can help lower cholesterol levels, although certain studies seem to think that this may not be the case. Anyone who suffers from catarrh or rhinitis would be well advised to try the Kwai garlic tablets.
There are a couple of do's and dont's regarding the Kwai garlic tablets. If you tend to be prone to allergies then Kwai advise that you don't take the product. They also mention that they aren't suitable for pregnant women. One more small point, taking garlic tablets can lead to wind building up inside, so be warned!
There are two types of Kwai garlic tablets in the shops, the first is Kwai One-A-Day, it contains 300mg of concentrated garlic powder. They come in packs of 30 or 100 and they can be bought from all the major chemists and health food stores. A pack of 30 will cost you £4.95 and you can take them for as long as you like.
The second tablet is Kwai Ace One-A-Day. These are the tablets that I buy, these have vitamins C, E and A added to them. Again you can take these tablets for as long as you like, they are perfectly safe. This version is £5.95 for a box of 30.
The small white tablets are easy to swallow and as long as you remember to make them a part of your daily routine you soon get into the habit of taking them. As I said earlier in the review I am prone to catching colds and it is so uncomfortable if you are constantly sniffing and sneezing. Kwai Garlic tablets have been an effective part of my daily routine for a long time now and I fully intend to keep on taking them. The months supply costs me nearly £6, so it is no dearer than paying for a monthly prescription from the doctors and probably a far better way to cope with the problem.
Advantages: Antibacterial, good for your heart and circulation, helps fight off colds (and vampires) Disadvantages: Not exactly cheap...
...time I was shopping – Kwai once a day Chinese garlic odour free tablets, at £4.95 for 30 days supply (the reason for this choice being this was all Safeway had). These tablets claim that they have the highest allicin levels of any supplement you can buy (1800 micrograms per day if you are interested), and are made from fresh organic garlic (which is why I assume they are so pricey). They are taken once a day at mealtimes and are fairly easy to swallow ... ...generally healthy as with the Kwai tablets.
So am I happy with my decision to take Kwai garlic? Definitely, yes! I feel noticeably better (especially when the garlic is combined with a multi vitamin supplement) and feel that it was money well spent. There are many brands of tablets currently on the market at varying prices, but I suppose as with anything you get what you pay for, and I feel that £4.95 a month is a small price to pay for the benefits ...

...Brings Me To Kwai.
Kwai High Strength One-a-Day garlic tablets are made from Chinese garlic cloves and are guaranteed to contain a high level if allicin. (Each tablet contains 100mg of dried garlic and yields 0.6% allicin.) The tablets are coated to help avoid odour.
The tablets are free from salt, yeast, gluten, gelatine and added starch and are recommended as safe for use by diabetics.
I take my Kwai garlic tablet after breakfast with a glass ... ...be tempted to chew!
Kwai One-A-Day garlic tablets are available from Boots, Holland and Barrett and Superdrug.They cost £13.95 for a pack of 100.There is also a Giant Economy pack of 560 tablets for £19.95.I know they seem pricey, and there are cheaper garlic tablets around, but not all are High Strength and you may be asked to take up to six per day, so they probably work out not much cheaper in the long run.
Good Health! ...

There are a number of advantages to using garlic. Garlic has been used as a natural insecticide used to get rid of bugs which can be found in your home or garden , lawns pets and trees. This way you wouldnt need to use toxic chemicals.
Some disadvantages to using garlic would be that garlic could cause lose stools in some people. I allso may trigger off a alergic reactions for people. Another important thing would be dont eat garlic if your nursing your baby.It will give them colic. (*)
