Boiled garlic water is not effective against new coronavirus pneumonia. Garlic has many biological activities, including very good inhibition of pathogens, viruses, and bacteria, and the hot elements play a major role. However, the characteristic of garlic pheromone is that most of it is destroyed by gastric acid when eating and released during chewing, so there is a spicy taste when eating garlic, but when swallowing, gastric acid will inactivate most of the pheromone, and a lot of garlic pheromone has disappeared in the intestine, so it does not work. Consider medicinal garlic preparations, which can increase the resistance of the body. Content source: Dr. Yurai
