Native Americans of the Cherokee nation used wild garlic for medicinal purposes, including as an expectorant and as a treatment for asthma and scurvy. The Rappahannock chewed raw bulbs for high blood pressure and shortness of breath. The Hopi used wild garlic for food. Allium species contain volatile oils and sulfur glycosides that can help rid the intestinal tract of gas and aid digestion.

Today, most cattle, sheep and goat ranchers consider wild garlic to be a pesky weed that ruins the taste of animal's milk and meat. It's part of the modern day odyssey, as the medicinal wild garlic actually helps control infections in livestock and provides many other health benefits for those drinking the milk, cheese, meat and other byproducts. In fact, wild garlic enhances the flavor, not diminishes the flavor and was favored in the 1800's in places like Switzerland where the butter made from cows fed garlic sold at a premium. However, now we live in a world that has lost it's mind and wild garlic is considered to be a weed with no real value.

Wild garlic grows in many different places and climates, but finding and then harvesting it has become an arduous chore as it's new found weed status has made it much more scarce in developed areas. If you find a remote meadow or an untouched stream you may often times find it growing in the wild. Toby, a local Oklahoman from the Cherokee Nation was the first to introduce Broken Earth to the wild garlic plants.

Wild garlic is a naturally grown medicinal plant. In fact all eatable wild plants provide the very best medicinal value - especially those grown in the same region where you live. It looks very much like a green onion or scallion, but has flat leaves instead of hollow leaves on a wild onion plant. Wild garlic grows in clumps and unless separated will only produce one bulb or stalk. To produce the standard looking store bought bulbs you must replant the wild garlic and leave it for an entire season. The following year it will sprout and produce the multiple clove bulbs. Wild garlic can be chopped up and put into fresh salads or cooked in a variety of different dishes.  Wild garlic has a very distinctive and unique garlic flavor. It is absolutely delicious.

But more important than taste are the many health benefits that wild garlic provides.

If you are suffering from blood pressure problems, wild garlic may hold out the potential for controlling or even eliminating your health problems - especially if combined with a good exercise and diet program. Wild garlic may not work for everyone, but it does provide relief for a large percentage of high blood pressure sufferers. Weather it will work or not for you all depends on what is actually causing your blood pressure problems. The only way to know for sure is to try some wild garlic for a few weeks and see what results you obtain. All and all, if it can keep you off synthetic medicines with all of there harmful side effects, it is certainly worth a try. Garlic supplements in the form of capsules and store bought garlic may provide some benefit, but nothing works like fresh wild garlic.

If you can not forage wild garlic in your own area and obtain both the local medicinal value and exercise that goes along with harvesting it yourself, then you can either obtain the fresh wild garlic here or opt for the wild garlic sets and plant it in your own area or private garden. In addition to the sets we will be offering seeds in the near future. As supplies are limited, you may reserve your seeds now.

How to obtain Wild Garlic

You can obtain fresh wild garlic as a medicinal trust. We do not profit from the sale of any offerings on the Broken Earth website.

The wild garlic offered here has about 13 to 15 plants per bunch and is actually harvested from the wild. Clean the plant and then toss them into salads, or to achieve the full benefit, eat several stalks each morning one hour before eating or drinking anything else. If the wild garlic upsets your stomach you may chop it up and place it in some ayron or kefir (a butter milk like drink). If you like to make your own kefir try this Kefir Grains - Live Organic. If not, you may order Lifeway Original Kefir ( 32 Fl. oz )

When ordering wild garlic, order enough for two weeks and if it seems to be working you can order more, or as we highly recommend, opt to buy the wild garlic sets or seeds and plant your own so you always have an abundant fresh supply in spring and early summer. .You may then dry the wild garlic and have it available as a year round medicinal supplement.
