Lasuna (Garlic/Allium sativum) is well-known as a pungent, culinary spice in several cultures; the herb is one of the most researched plants for its medicinal benefits. Scientists at the Department of Medicinal Chemistry, Hebrew University-Hassadah Medical School, Jerusalem, recently studied Lasuna for its antioxidant activity and support of normal cardiovascular function. They found the herb to be supportive of normal plasma lipid levels and noted its various ‘positive influences’ (Molecular Nutrition and Food Research, November 2007, 51(11):1365-81).
