hello.

As a mother breastfeeding her baby, I am asked to include a lot of garlic in my diet. It is believed in our culture that eating garlic boosts the milk production. Also, garlic is known to treat mastitis, a condition where milk ducts get blocked and lead to infection.

Please confirm this information scientifically.

Regards,

Bhuvana.

Garlic boosts the immune system of the body and reduces blood pressure. Garlic also reduces the total and/or LDL cholesterol by about 10-15% thus avoiding the risk of heart disorders. Garlic is helpful in preventing the Alzheimer's disease and dementia. Consumption of garlic increases the longevity.
