Frequently Asked Questions
1. Why should garlic and honey be taken on an empty stomach?
Taking them before meals ensures better absorption of active compounds. On an empty stomach, garlic’s allicin is more bioavailable, and honey’s enzymes are more effective.
2. Can I use cooked garlic instead of raw?
No. Cooking destroys much of the allicin. For maximum benefits, garlic should be consumed raw and freshly crushed.
3. What kind of honey is best?
Raw, unfiltered honey is ideal because it retains natural enzymes and antioxidants that processed honey often loses.
4. How long should I continue this practice?
You can safely consume garlic and honey daily. However, moderation is key—limit to one clove of garlic per day to avoid digestive irritation.
5. Are there any side effects?
Some may experience heartburn, bad breath, or mild stomach upset. If you are on blood-thinning medication, consult your doctor before trying this remedy.
6. Can garlic and honey cure diseases?
While powerful, they are not miracle cures. They support overall health and immunity but should complement, not replace, medical treatment.
