site with this info.. OMgosh it is really telling where you can stick garlic..literally.. it is a PDF file so it will take a minute to load.. mine does anyway
here is a little bit of what is there..
Grown in the Mediterranean and central Asia for
centuries, garlic was widely used as medicine
by the ancients. It was found in King Tut’s
tomb and was eaten for endurance by the slaves
who constructed the great Cheops pyramid.
Garlic was placed by the ancient Greeks on the
piles of stones at crossroads as a supper for
Hecate while garlic and onion were invocated
as deities by the Egyptians at the taking of
oaths. Among the ancient Greeks, persons who
partook of it were not allowed to enter the
temples of Cybele. The East Indian herbalist
Charaka said in the first century A.D. that
garlic would be worth its weight in gold, if it
weren’t for its smell. Garlic has been used by
rich and poor alike through the years to keep
away disease, evil spirits, moles and racing
competitors. It was a main ingredient
