10 Garlic Benefits
Garlic Benefit #8: Relieves Arthritis Pain
Arthritis can not only be debilitating, it can also be very painful. People around the world suffer on a daily basis but, thankfully, garlic can help to reduce the pain. Much of the pain caused by rheumatoid arthritis is caused by swelling and garlic has anti-inflammatory properties. With the swelling reduced, the pain is also reduced, making things a lot more comfortable for the sufferer.
In addition, garlic contains diallyl disulphide which is a compound that helps to limit enzymes that cause damage to cartilage. Garlic is thought to be most effective at reducing pain from arthritis when eaten as part of your diet.
