The reasons can be wide, from its connection with superstition and folklore medicine (ancient civilizations believed that demons caused diseases and to get rid of them ate garlic) to social problems it can cause due to its strong smell.

Several excellent articles have also been published in magazines and in other countries, such as Japan, it has become a flagship ingredient of natural health.
