Why put garlic under your pillow: 2 benefits in one clove

Garlic is a popular and beloved product by Russians. But he is good not only in the kitchen! Garlic will be invaluable... in the bedroom. Namely - put under the pillow.

Garlic-like

The only disadvantage of the unusual use of garlic in an unusual role for it can only be called a weak (very) smell. At first, it can cause discomfort to the nose of a person who is not used to a specific aroma. But then, as they say, you sniff and stop noticing.

Moreover, you do not need to put chopped garlic. The whole clove almost does not smell and does not stain bedding. To make it more beautiful, you can put a slice or two in a bag made of natural loose fabric

But appreciate how much is the use of know-how

I will not discover America if I describe the disinfecting properties of garlic.

I remember that in my childhood my grandmother hung a "necklace" made of cloves of garlic around his neck to a classmate during local epidemics of SARS before going to school. Yes, it looked creepy. Yes, there was a slight smell coming from him. But the boy was sick much less often than us, his classmates.

It is now known that garlic actively releases phytoncides. These are natural substances that neutralize bacteria, fungi and possibly viruses.

Inhaling the subtle smell of garlic every night, you will significantly reduce the risk of getting some unpleasant tonsillitis and sinusitis.

For those who sleep poorly

I know from myself what hopeless insomnia is. When you fall asleep almost at the same time as dawn. When 2 hours remain before the alarm goes off.

Different thoughts creep into my head. So you lie down - it's uncomfortable. If you roll over on your back, it's even worse. It's hot under the blanket, cold without it. I think everyone is familiar!

Before I write how garlic can help from night torments of insomnia, I will warn you. Insomnia can be caused by disturbances in the body - therefore, first of all, run to a therapist) But if you cannot visit the kingdom of Morpheus on time due to excessive nervousness - then this method will suit you perfectly.

The fact is that a clove of garlic gives off not only an unpleasant (but some may even like it) smell along with medicinal phytoncides. Also - sulfur compounds. They have a mild calming effect on a person and help to fall asleep faster. Let's try?
