Garlic paste can be very beneficial in relieving joint and muscle pain.
Many users and fans questioned the logic behind rubbing garlic cloves on your feet, but apparently, there is a scientific reason behind the action.
Priyanka Chopra is known for being a hardcore fitness enthusiast, but she is also earning a reputation for offering little health hacks to her followers. She has given her followers a dose of a desi ‘nushka’ (remedy) for pain and injuries. The actress, who is in Australia, is shooting for The Bluff. One video, among a flood of photos and videos she posted, highlights some injuries she sustained during the shoot. Another video in the series showed her rubbing her feet with garlic cloves, a traditional health remedy that some were surprised by, but is widely practiced to address various health issues.
Many users and fans questioned the logic behind rubbing garlic cloves on your feet, but apparently, there is a scientific reason behind the action. According to a report by TISSER and the Institute, this procedure offers numerous benefits. When a clove of garlic is cut or crushed, a reaction is triggered between alliin and the enzyme allinase, forming allicin. When garlic is applied to the feet, allicin penetrates the skin and enters the bloodstream. Allicin is known to help prevent several types of cancer, lower blood sugar and cholesterol levels, lower blood pressure, aid muscle recovery after training, and provide protection against infections.
Garlic paste can be very beneficial in relieving joint and muscle pain. However, it is essential to perform a patch test before incorporating it into your routine. Garlic's anti-inflammatory properties can effectively reduce swelling and pain, making it especially useful for relieving tired and sore feet. This makes garlic a valuable remedy for people who are frequently active and spend prolonged periods on their feet.
These properties are particularly beneficial for managing joint and muscle pain, which likely influenced Priyanka's decision to use this remedy. Garlic's potent antibacterial properties can also be effective in fighting acne when applied directly. But again, it's important to consult a certified specialist to ensure it's suitable for your skin type.
