The Tibetan Garlic Cure: A Forgotten Elixir for Arterial Health and Longevity

In a dusty temple tucked deep in the mountains of Tibet, legend tells of a clay tablet that was found with a formula, that promised youth, vitality, and protection from one of humanity’s deadliest foes: arterial disease.

This ancient recipe, rediscovered in modern times and often referred to as the Tibetan Garlic Cure, has fascinated herbalists and healers. Claimed to reduce fat deposits in the blood, prevent heart attacks, rejuvenate the body, and even improve eyesight, this remedy is based on an incredibly simple ingredient: garlic.

But what is this mysterious remedy, and does it truly hold the power its legend suggests?

The "Tibetan Garlic Cure" is a traditional remedy that has been circulated widely, particularly in Eastern Europe and Asia. It is often attributed to ancient Tibetan monks and is said to have been discovered inscribed on clay tablets in a monastery. However, there is no concrete historical evidence or primary sources confirming the exact origin or authenticity of this claim.

Despite the lack of verifiable historical documentation, the remedy's popularity persists, largely due to the well-documented health benefits of garlic. Garlic (Allium sativum) has been used for centuries in various cultures for its medicinal properties. Modern scientific studies have explored garlic's potential in supporting cardiovascular health, including its ability to lower cholesterol levels, reduce blood pressure, and improve arterial elasticity. These effects are primarily attributed to allicin, a sulfur-containing compound found in garlic.

According to traditional sources, the Tibetan Garlic Cure was found engraved on a clay tablet in a Tibetan monastery around the early 20th century though some versions claim it dates back even further, to 5,000 years ago.

Here’s how it’s made:

• 350 grams of fresh garlic, peeled and crushed

• 300 ml of 96% alcohol (medical-grade or strong grain alcohol)

• Place in a glass bottle, seal tightly, and let macerate for 10 days in a cool, dark place.

• After 10 days, strain through a clean cloth and let it sit for 2 more days.

• Then begin a drop-by-drop dosage protocol, following a strict 12-day schedule, gradually increasing and then decreasing the number of drops taken before meals all diluted in a bit of hot milk.

• From day 11 onward, you take 24 drops per day, divided into three doses of 8 drops each, until the entire solution is consumed.

  
  

The legend says the effects last for five years, after which the treatment may be repeated.

Even without the mystique of Tibetan temples, garlic has long been regarded as a natural medicine. Ancient Egyptians fed it to pyramid builders for strength. Greek physicians prescribed it for infections and heart issues. In Traditional Chinese Medicine, garlic is believed to move qi (life force), cleanse the blood, and heat the body.

Garlic’s antioxidant content may also support cellular regeneration and protect against free radical damage. Some lab studies suggest it may even suppress tumor growth or enhance the body’s immune defenses.

What to Be Cautious Of

Despite its benefits, the Tibetan Garlic Cure isn’t for everyone. Here are a few important precautions:

• Raw garlic, especially when combined with alcohol, may irritate the stomach lining.

• Garlic naturally thins the blood. If you are on anticoagulants (like warfarin), speak to your doctor first.

• High doses of garlic tincture are not recommended during pregnancy.

• Although taken in small quantities, the tincture is made with high-proof alcohol.

• Consult your doctor before taking this, this blog post is for entertainment only.

As with any potent remedy, moderation and awareness are key. Whether or not this cure truly originated on a clay tablet in a Tibetan monastery, its popularity tells us something really important that humans have always sought ways to live better, longer, and more vibrantly.
