Sperb’s Herbs – Da Suan (Garlic)
Garlic is a wonderful culinary herb. But it is also a useful Chinese herb. This episode goes into the medicinal qualities of garlic from a scientific and Chinese point of view. Also we will, as something a little different, discuss black garlic both as a wonderfully similar yet different addition to our recipes, as well as an examination of its herbal properties. Does garlic live up to its hype? Or is it an herbal dud? At least, nothing can change its wonderful flavor!
Every other week an exciting new episode of the Sperb’s Herbs podcast is recorded. Each episode covers another Chinese herb and will go into great depth about it. Besides covering the basics of Chinese herbology including category, and functions, we will explore the history, quality, science, pharmacology, evidence, and any potential interactions of each herb. And then there is always something a little quirky about an episode. Whether that is a unique story or an interesting perspective, there will always be something different to learn about episode’s herb.

Stefanie –
Thank you for this great course on something that people can use in everyday food. I like to use herbs that my patients have readily available as I find there is much more willingness and compliance. I also use a lot of Ayurvedic herbs for this reason.
