Today, leading a healthy lifestyle has become fashionable. People take care of their physical health: they go to gyms and beauty salons for various procedures to improve their appearance. They monitor their overall health (teeth, slagging), and a significant part of the population does not forget about the circulatory system, cleansing blood vessels from excess cholesterol deposits.
The most popular, high-quality and inexpensive method to do this is to do it yourself - preparing a tincture of garlic and lemon. These food products contain a huge amount of elements needed by the organs , and their combination in one bottle is considered to be the most effective and useful composition for cleansing the circulatory system of harmful cholesterol.
The reason for the increase in the level of the latter is poor nutrition, frequent inclusion in the diet of animal products containing a lot of unnecessary fats, stress, alcohol and tobacco abuse and lack of physical activity. The layering of cholesterol on the inner walls of blood vessels provokes a narrowing of the lumen, a decrease in elasticity, as a result of which pressure increases and the formation of blood clots is possible.

Lemon: has gained fame as a champion in vitamin C content, which helps strengthen the nervous and cardiovascular systems. Additionally, plant compounds found in lemons, namely hesperidin and diosmin, also lower cholesterol levels [8], [9], [10].

How many days and how to take the tincture?
Each recipe has its own characteristics according to the method of application . Typically, a medicine based on garlic and honey is taken before or after meals. This is due to the presence in these products of a large amount of substances that irritate the stomach wall.
Taking the medicine with food gives a greater chance of absorbing the beneficial components from it, and also protects the stomach from factors that irritate it.
The course of treatment is selected individually and lasts from 10 to 40 days.
Honey, lemon and garlic for cleaning blood vessels
Cholesterol plaques that form in the vessels of the heart, liver, brain, intestines and kidneys threaten not only human health, but also human life. Atherosclerotic plaques on the walls of blood vessels increase over time and can break off. With the blood flow, the resulting thrombus is transported through the circulatory system and threatens to clog the lumen of the artery. This disruption of normal blood flow deprives the organ of oxygen supply to the blood.
Oxygen starvation (ischemia) leads to tissue necrosis, which is almost impossible to restore. If the target of ischemia is the heart or brain, death is possible. To prevent atherosclerosis, you can cleanse blood vessels with a product made from honey, garlic and lemon.
The main active ingredient of this product is garlic, or more precisely, allicin, which is part of it. This chemical compound has a truly magical property of eliminating atherosclerotic plaques in blood vessels with prolonged use of garlic. In addition to it, honey and lemon fill the body with useful minerals and vitamins, help regulate cardiac activity by replenishing potassium and magnesium. Antioxidants, contained in abundance in these components, neutralize the effects of free radicals, lower blood pressure and stimulate capillary circulation.
How to prepare this vessel cleaner:
- 5 lemons need to be cut into 4 parts each, remove the seeds. You can use lemon peels, but if you don't want a bitter taste, remove the peel and use only the zest.
- Peel 5 large heads of garlic.
- Grind the ingredients using a blender or meat grinder.
- Transfer the mixture into a glass jar, add 500 ml of honey (flower honey, May honey, honey collected from sunflowers). It’s more convenient to use liquid honey, but if you don’t have that, solid honey will do, just don’t melt it, it will lose its beneficial properties.
- Place in a dark place for 1 day/night, at room temperature, cover the container with a gauze cloth. It is important not to close the vessel tightly. Store the finished mixture in the refrigerator with the lid closed.
To cleanse blood vessels, take this remedy twice a day, in the morning 15 minutes before meals, in the evening an hour after meals. Directions for use: dilute 1 tbsp. l. in a glass of water, drink. Special instructions - during treatment, the consumption of any alcohol, hot spices, strong tea and coffee is prohibited. The daily rate of water consumption is 2.5 liters.
Courses of treatment are 2 weeks with a break of six months between them. The drug is taken both for the treatment and prevention of atherosclerosis.

The secret to the effectiveness of garlic tincture
The first mention of garlic tincture came from Tibet. It was there that the monks created a simple but healing drink, and called it the elixir of life.
The therapeutic effect on the human body is due to the large complex of vitamins, microelements and chemical compounds contained in garlic. Ingredients of the vegetable:
- fatty acid;
- B vitamins;
- vitamins A, C, K, E, D,
- zinc, selenium, iodine;
- essential oils;
- phytosterols;
- inulin;
- saponins;
- polysaccharides;
- choline;
- phytoncides.
During scientific research, allicin was isolated from the fresh garlic plant. This is a chemical compound that is formed during the mechanical destruction of garlic cells and has a bactericidal and anti-inflammatory effect.
Has high activity against gram-positive and gram-negative bacteria. Allicin is a compound with low temperature stability and is quickly destroyed when heated, as well as in a normal room environment.
Therefore, heat-treated garlic and preparations based on it are not as effective as fresh vegetables or garlic tincture.
What does it help with?
The benefits of garlic tincture are due to a complex of vitamins and microelements important for humans. By consuming this tincture you can improve your health and improve your immunity. What does garlic elixir help with:
- For vascular diseases such as atherosclerosis
- Hypertension.
- Arrhythmia.
- Diseases of the upper and lower respiratory tract.
- Thrombophlebitis.

- Avitaminosis.
- Pathologies of the genitourinary system.
- Haemorrhoids.
- Gastritis, gastroduodenitis.
- Cholecystitis, cholelithiasis.
- Diseases of the pancreas.
Has the effectiveness of garlic been proven?
Scientists have found that garlic is 100 times more effective than broad-spectrum antibacterial drugs (cephalosporins) and macrolides.
Research has revealed that garlic contains the chemical compound diallyl sudfide, which is particularly effective in penetrating the mucous membranes of colonies of pathogenic microorganisms.
Meanwhile, antibiotics in tablet form are not absorbed as quickly, which means that garlic begins to fight the disease faster.
Allicin also stimulates the digestive tract, resulting in an increase in the synthesis of bile acids - a source of “good” blood cholesterol, which blocks the formation of atherosclerotic plaques.
Also, according to doctors, garlic prevents the formation of blood clots. The vegetable contains serological chemical compounds that help dissolve blood clots and blood clots, even in people who have previously suffered a myocardial infarction.
Regular consumption of garlic allows you to normalize the formation and disintegration of blood clots in the bloodstream.
Effect on the body
Thanks to its natural strength and healing chemical composition, garlic tincture acts as follows:
- Possessing an antibacterial effect, it protects against pathogens, fungi and viruses of various strains. Also, the use of tincture is effective in the treatment of helminthic infestations.
- Has an antithrombotic effect. Serotonin, which is part of garlic, destroys small plaques, cleansing blood vessels, preventing the development of atherosclerosis.
- Hypolipidemic effect. Reduces cholesterol levels in the blood, improves coagulation rates, so it is advisable to use the tincture for obesity and diabetes.
- Improves the functioning of the gastrointestinal tract, killing pathogenic microflora in the intestines and preserving beneficial ones.
