Garlic, which is now grown worldwide, is thought to have originated in Central Asia and was one of the first plants to be cultivated by humans (Kemper, 2000). Garlic contains useful pharmacological substances including 33 sulfur compounds, several enzymes, 17 amino acids, and minerals such as selenium (Singh and Singh, 2008). Santosa (1988) stated that garlic (Allium sativum) is useful as a medicine to lower blood pressure, asthma, coughs, colds, headaches, bowel movements, constipation, bruises, to insect stings and worm medicine. Also mentioned by other speakers, garlic can also be an immunostimulant, which means a substance (drugs and nutrients) that stimulates the immune system by increasing the activity of components of the immune system to fight infection and disease. This is what we really need, right, in the COVID-19 pandemic?
