That garlic offers an abundance of impressive health benefits is a well-known truth. Not only does it add flavor to most of your favorite dishes, but it also helps boost immunity, lower blood pressure, and improve heart health, among other perks.
The health benefits the garlic offers come mainly from allicin, an active compound released when the cloves are crushed or chopped.
While most of these advantages come from ingestion, many believe that having garlic around you – in your room and even in your things – may also offer numerous positives such as improved mood, mental clarity, and even healthier environment.
One belief that has been around across many cultures for centuries is the one that placing cloves of garlic under your pillow helps improve the quality of sleep and protects you from evil spirits.
The aroma of garlic has a calming effect on some people, potentially helping to create a more relaxed environment that provides better sleep.
The scent also helps clear your nasal passages, making it easier to breathe at night, especially if you experience blocked nose, chest, or airways. It also has a soothing effect on the nervous system, which also contributes to better sleep.
Additionally, garlic’s overall health-boosting properties may indirectly improve sleep quality by contributing to a healthier body.
Centuries ago, ancient Egyptians, Greeks, and Romans used garlic to protect them from evil spirits and against curses.
Even today, many people believe in the protective powers of garlic and keep it at bay in order to keep negative energy and influences away.
If you want to experience the garlic’s potential sleep-enhancing properties, start by peeling a clove of garlic from the bulb and making a small cut about three-quarters of the way down. Before placing the clove under the pillow, put it in a small mesh bag and zip it.
Each night, make a fresh cut on the same garlic clove and follow the same steps again. After three days of use, change it with a new clove.
