Garlic for your Scars

External use of garlic can help clear the acne scars, skin spots, pimples and boils. You can rub it GENTLY on your face several times a day. Acne can also be cured by eating 3 seeds of raw garlic daily for a month.

That's an interesting idea. Garlic isn't something that I have typically heard of curing things like acne. Has anybody had personal experience using garlic as an acne treatment?

I agree with you Nancy. I think it is effective but i also can not try it because of the smell. I can not even eat raw garlics.

I absolutely love garlic. I put it on everything! I cannot believe that there are people out there who are not into garlic. I use it whenever possible.

My uncle living near our house got a big mole on his hand and he used to rub a piece of garlic on it every morning. After a period of 6 months it completely disappears

I know there are a lot of different things that they say garlic is good for. I can stand garlic like in garlic bread but that is about all. But can't you get garlic in another form to take like a vitamin almost?

Do you have a source for this? That treatment sounds absurd. How does garlic help clear acne? Even more so how does eating garlic seeds?

God Knows, but I'm trying this one out. Several plants have healing properties, like how dock leaves alleviate nettle stings by being rubbed on the skin.

I'll give this one a try, after my date with my lovely girlfriend of course.

^ Ha. Ha.

I have never heard of this before but I guess that some plants have healing properties so maybe garlic is one of them. Can anyone else confirm that this indeed works?
