History and Folklore
Wild garlic was important to Native Americans in treating asthma and other respiratory disorders. In addition to harvesting the bulbs for food, some tribes chewed them to aid breathing and to treat digestion and intestinal gas. During the Middle Ages, the herb was instrumental in treating cholera and in preventing the plague. Fresh juice from the small bulbs was also an important wound dressing.
Potential Benefits of wild garlic
Wild garlic contains allicin, which may be responsible for the herb's potential health benefits. Allicin may have antibacterial and antimicrobial effects. It may also be an effective antioxidative, according to the "PDR for Herbal Medicines." Potential uses include the treatment of high blood pressure, arteriosclerosis and elevated cholesterol levels. It may also act as a blood thinner, making it useful for reducing the risk of blood clots. Evidence of these benefits is anecdotal, and clinical research in these areas is lacking.
Considerations
The use of wild garlic comes with potential side effects. The "PDR" advises that frequent contact with the fresh plant may result in irritated skin or an allergic reaction. Wear gloves to harvest the herb. In some people, consuming wild garlic may produce a bloated feeling, nausea and diarrhea.
Because it can thin the blood, consuming wild garlic may not be suitable after surgery.
Do not give wild garlic to children or pregnant women unless directed to do so by a doctor. Wild garlic harvested from a farmer's field may contain traces of pesticides or other chemicals.
