Composition and Mechanisms of Action

Garlic essential oil is rich in various bioactive compounds, including alliicin, diallyl sulfide, ajoene and other organosulfur compounds. These compounds give garlic its unique medicinal properties. For example, ajoene has an anti-thrombotic effect by reducing the viscosity of the platelet lipid bilayer and inhibiting the formation of thromboxane A2. Garlic also contains phenolic acids and flavonoids, which contribute to its antiseptic properties.

Anti-infectious properties

Garlic essential oil is recognized for its powerful anti-infectious properties. It has bactericidal, fungicidal (anti-candidosis) and intestinal anti-parasitic (anthelmintic) activities. Studies have demonstrated its efficacy against various pathogenic micro-organisms, notably Campylobacter jejuni, responsible for certain gastrointestinal infections.

Cardiovascular properties

Garlic also has beneficial properties for the cardiovascular system. It acts as an anti-hypertensive by dilating capillary arterioles, helping to lower blood pressure. In addition, garlic has platelet anti-aggregating activity, preventing the formation of blood clots and reducing the risk of heart attack.

Metabolic properties

Garlic essential oil has positive metabolic effects. It is known for its anticholesterolemic action, reducing blood lipid levels. It also has an anti-diabetic effect, lowering blood sugar and improving the lipid profile. Garlic is also anti-hepatotoxic, protecting the liver from damage induced by various toxic agents.

Anticancer properties

Studies suggest that garlic may play a role in cancer prevention and treatment. It exhibits anticancer activities by inhibiting tumor cell growth and inducing apoptosis in certain types of cancer, such as stomach and esophageal cancer.

Other properties

In addition to its main properties, garlic essential oil has other health benefits. It acts as a digestive tonic, stimulating appetite and relieving digestive spasms. In addition, it is effective against warts, corns and calluses when applied locally. Recent studies also suggest the anti-coronavirus potential of garlic's organosulfur compound.

Directions for use and dosage

• Cutaneous use: Although it offers many benefits, the use of garlic essential oil is limited by its allicin concentration. Professional consultation is recommended for appropriate use. For cutaneous use, garlic is generally not recommended due to its dermocaustic potential. If used, it should be strongly diluted (1 or 2 drops in vegetable oil).
• Oral consumption: Ingestion of garlic, particularly in essential oil form, should be carried out under medical supervision to avoid irritation of mucous membranes. Despite its advantages, the use of garlic essential oil in cooking is limited by its pronounced odor, preferring fresh garlic.
• Inhalation for respiratory infections: For inhalation, dilute a few drops of garlic essential oil in warm water, cover the head with a towel and inhale the vapors for about 10 minutes, up to three times a day. The oil can also be applied to a handkerchief for direct inhalation.
• Diffusion: Due to its strong, persistent odour, garlic essential oil is not recommended for atmospheric diffusion.
