    Garlic is a very useful herb. The root is the same as the onion and it has to be sowed like the potato. It is used by people for boils or weak blood. It is stewed and the juice is put into a bottle and it is taken once every morning until the person is well. It has the same taste as onions and it is a very good herb.
