Garlic is a common food that many people enjoy eating in their daily lives. This is mainly because garlic has a spicy flavor that can enhance everyone's appetite. So, what are the methods for using garlic to remove freckles? What are the benefits and effects of garlic? Can pregnant women eat garlic? Let me explain below.
Methods for using garlic to remove freckles
1. Prepare 3 cloves of garlic, 3 tablespoons of mung bean powder, and 100 ml of purified water.
2. The first step is to wash the garlic with water, then peel off the garlic skin and put the peeled garlic into a bowl. Then put it in the microwave and heat it for a few minutes to remove the odor from the garlic.
3. Take the heated garlic and squeeze the juice out of it, then add mung bean powder and purified water and mix well.
4. Apply the prepared "garlic paste" directly on the face and leave it on for 15-30 minutes.
Benefits and effects of using garlic to remove freckles
Many people know that garlic is good for the skin and can help with beauty. So how does garlic work for beauty? Based on the strong affinity between the active ingredients in garlic and the skin's proteins, as well as the ability of the skin to fully absorb garlic through transdermal effects, the following effects and results can be summarized:
1. Garlic is rich in nutrients and contains many beneficial elements for the human body. Garlic can promote blood circulation and enhance the metabolism of skin cells, removing old cells from the skin and promoting excretion. It is effective for freckles, small wrinkles, acne, skin allergies, chapped skin, frostbite, and rough skin.
2. It regulates the cell exchange (renewal) of the skin while promoting its keratogenic effect. It is effective for freckles, small wrinkles, acne, and skin allergies.
3. It has a whitening effect by reducing and bleaching brown spots, freckles, and dark spots.
4. It inhibits the activity of tyrosinase, an enzyme that produces melanin, weakens the impact of ultraviolet rays, and improves the skin's resistance to sunlight. It is effective for preventing freckles, sunspots, and sun allergies.
Benefits and effects of garlic
1. Antibacterial and anti-inflammatory properties
Garlic is a natural plant with broad-spectrum antibacterial properties. Garlic contains about 2% allicin, which has the ability to kill bacteria. It can inhibit and kill various pathogenic bacteria such as Staphylococcus, meningitis, pneumonia, streptococcus, diphtheria, dysentery, typhoid, paratyphoid, tuberculosis, and cholera. It can also kill more types of pathogenic fungi, hookworms, pinworms, and trichomonads. Eating raw garlic is an effective method for preventing influenza and intestinal infections. However, it should be noted that allicin is easily destroyed at high temperatures, losing its antibacterial effect.
2. Anti-cancer properties
The sulfur compounds in garlic mainly act on the "initiation stage" of tumor formation, enhancing detoxification function, interfering with the activation of carcinogens, preventing the formation of cancer, enhancing immune function, blocking lipid peroxidation, and preventing mutations, thus avoiding the transformation of normal cells into cancer cells.
3. Antiplatelet aggregation
Garlic essential oil has the ability to inhibit platelet aggregation. Its mechanism is to change the physicochemical properties of platelet membranes, thereby affecting the uptake and release functions of platelets, inhibiting fibrinogen receptors on platelet membranes, inhibiting the binding of platelets to fibrinogen, and affecting the sulfur groups on platelet membranes, thus changing platelet function.
