Frequently Asked Questions
Can I chew raw garlic and cloves directly?
Yes, but the flavor is exceptionally intense. Chewing a small piece of clove along with garlic helps soften the sharp garlic odor while providing direct oral health benefits.
How often should I use a garlic and cloves infusion?
For general wellness, taking half a teaspoon of the infused honey or consuming one infused garlic clove once daily is sufficient.
Does cooking destroy the benefits of garlic and cloves?
High heat reduces the allicin content in garlic. For maximum effectiveness, crush the garlic and let it sit for ten minutes before applying gentle heat, or use raw infusions.
