Garlic prefers warm climates, full sun, composted soil, and regular watering. Plant whole bulbs in winter after the ground has thawed, and harvest in mid-September. It is also a good idea to plant your garlic near roses to keep the aphids away.

Both Ayurvedic and Chinese medicine revere garlic’s healing properties. Its main curative powers fight bacterial and fungal infections, lower high blood pressure and cholesterol levels, and aid the digestive system. Garlic is a strong antiseptic and works wonderfully on mucous membranes. At the onset of a common cold or flu, swallowing a clove of garlic has been effective in preventing the illness from taking hold in the body. It can also be used to treat disorders of the blood and lungs, including tuberculosis, while some reports have shown that it may prevent cancer. Garlic is used to protect the body and hair from parasites and helps with asthma, whooping cough, goiter, arthritis, sciatica, and rheumatism. Garlic is often combined with mullein, and sometimes willow, to relieve earaches.

In esoteric practices, garlic is used for protection and banishing. It has been associated with Mars, Hecate, Kali Maa, the moon, and the Triple Goddess.
