Allium ursinum, or Bear's Garlic, is a wild growing plant along the sides of streams and in damp forests that is excellent for lowering blood pressure as well as making veins and arteries flexible and more elastic again. Allium ursinum is used commonly with Mistletoe and Hawthorn for those very reasons. Bear's garlic has been historically to help in the prevention of stroke and paralysis and has been used effectively after a stroke has occurred, helping to restore one to health again. Also, because of its considerable sulfur content, it has proven useful in intestinal flatulence, chronic intestinal catarrh, where the lining of the stomach and intestines has become very sensitive.
