1. Repelling insects
Garlic has a strong pungent smell that can help repel insects like flies and mosquitoes. You can place garlic near your bed to drive away these annoying creatures and help you sleep better.
To make the garlic aroma spread better, you should peel and chop the garlic, then put it in a small cloth bag (or cut one end of a disposable mask, put the garlic inside and tie it up) or place the garlic on a small dish near your bedside table. To enhance the insect-repelling effect, you can add a few drops of medicated oil mixed with the garlic. The combination of medicated oil and garlic will drive flies and mosquitoes away.
2. Boosting immunity
Garlic contains many antioxidants and anti-inflammatory compounds that help strengthen the body’s immune system. To gain these benefits, you can add garlic to your daily meals. Additionally, placing garlic near the bedside can further enhance its effects. Note that the more crushed or minced the garlic is, the more active compounds are released to exert its benefits.
3. Reducing stress and an.xiety
Some studies show that the smell of garlic can help reduce stress and anxiety, helping you feel more relaxed, comfortable, and improving sleep quality.
Precautions when placing garlic by the bedside
1. The smell of garlic may be too strong
Garlic has a quite strong odor, so not everyone likes this smell. People who are sensitive to scents or have respiratory problems may prefer other ways to use garlic, such as cooking with it or using garlic essential oil instead of placing fresh garlic by the bedside.
