what does sativum mean
Garlic (Allium sativum) is a very powerful medicinal plant (or, more accurately, a functional food) that is often underestimated. It has been used for more than 5,000 years to treat numerous diseases and was even used as a remedy against the plague in the Middle Ages. Today it has regained fame following numerous scientific studies, in particular on its possible anti-cancerous benefits (several serious studies to be confirmed).
