Scientists have reasons to believe that garlic
may be an attractive therapeutic approach
for bumps, a common problem many men
that shave their hair always wants to avoid.
This is based on garlic containing chemical
substances been able to prevent processes
that eventually result to bumps forming.
They suggested in The Journal of
Alternative and Complementary Medicine
that garlic has a considerable potential as
new therapeutic or preventive challenges
for keloid formation and that its extract
should be added as a novel addition to
Antikeloid Armamentarium considering its
tremendous effectiveness in many
diseases..
Garlic has long been used as a folk medicine.
Numerous studies have demonstrated that
a garlic extract and its sulfur-containing
compounds that inhibit the process that
causes cell proliferation, immune response
and other processes that eventually lead to
a wound healing while leaving behind
keloid.
While pointing out why garlic may be
helpful in preventing keloids, they said a
previous study had demonstrated that
garlicin, a commercial garlic product, could
inhibit formation of keloids. “This study
strongly supports our commentary on the
potential utility of garlic extract against
keloid formation. Our commentary justifies
and encourages the conduction of clinical
trials on this subject,” they submitted.
