10 Health Benefits of Agave
Agave Benefit #5: Protects against Infections
Before the days of modern medicine, injuries and illnesses posed a far greater threat to us than they do now. We depended far more heavily on our immune system, and although it is very effective, it is not perfect. If somebody were to pick up even a small wound, there was a chance of infection and this could be very dangerous.
