Phytochemistry and Pharmacology of Garlic (Allium sativum L.) Clove

About this book

The present book is an attempt to provide a thorough overview on the origin of garlic, history of garlic chemistry, garlic preparations and their use in folklore, health benefits of garlic, garlic as pesticide and its adverse effects. Garlic (Allium sativum) is also used as a popular herbal alternative therapy.
