Allicin is a bioactive compound found in garlic. It has antibacterial and antioxidant properties and helps regulate the blood circulation. Allicin found in garlic is also thought to be effective in lowering the blood pressure in people with hypertension due to its inhibitory effect on angiotensin‐converting enzymes and dilating effect on the blood vessels. Raw crushed garlic provides you with the most allicin. Its antibiotic property is more powerful when eaten on an empty stomach. Hence, a daily dose of raw garlic on an empty stomach every day in the morning can act as a complementary treatment option to control your hypertension.
