From the beginning of creation, the Lord has provided every herb and plant for our nourishment and healing. Garlic is one of those precious gifts, humble in appearance, yet powerful in its benefits. For thousands of years, it has been used to strengthen the body, fight off illness, and restore health. Today, we can still look to this little bulb as a reminder that God provides everything we need for both wellness and wholeness.
“And God said, Behold, I have given you every herb bearing seed, which is upon the face of all the earth, and every tree, in which is the fruit of a tree yielding seed; to you it shall be for food.” – Genesis 1:29
The Holistic Health Benefits of Garlic
Garlic is rich in allicin, a compound that is released when garlic is chopped or crushed. This God-designed component is what gives garlic both its strong aroma and its incredible healing powers.
Garlic supports the body in countless ways:
Strengthens Immunity - Helps the body fight colds, flu, and infections.
Destroys Harmful Pathogens - Natural antibacterial, antiviral, and antifungal properties.
Protects the Heart - Supports healthy blood pressure and circulation.
Reduces Inflammation - Brings relief to joints and tissues.
Cleanses the Body - Assists the liver in removing toxins.
Supports Digestion - Encourages healthy gut bacteria.
Restores Breath & Energy - Breaks down mucus and relieves congestion.
When we see how many systems garlic benefits, we are reminded of God’s wisdom in creation: “He causes the grass to grow for the cattle, and herbs for the service of man: that he may bring forth food out of the earth.” – Psalm 104:14
Garlic Tincture: Concentrated Strength in a Bottle
One way to harness garlic’s healing properties is through a tincture. Tinctures are fast-absorbing, potent, and easy to use—allowing you to benefit from the full medicinal qualities of garlic without consuming large amounts raw.
Kingdom Come Home’s Garlic Tincture is specially crafted to bring you this concentrated strength, ready to support your immune and cardiovascular health.
This preparation reminds us of Proverbs 4:22, speaking of God’s Word as life and health:
“For they are life unto those that find them, and health to all their flesh.” – Proverbs 4:22
Garlic Honey Cough Syrup
The combination of Kingdom Come Home’s Raw Honey and garlic is one of the simplest yet most powerful remedies you can keep in your home. Honey soothes the throat, while garlic strengthens immunity and fights infection.

Just as honey and garlic work together to restore health, so the Lord brings sweetness and strength into our lives when we depend on Him:
“Pleasant words are as an honeycomb, sweet to the soul, and health to the bones.” – Proverbs 16:24
