Garlic has
been long described as a vampire repellent in the Western Dracula lore. Besides
garlic’s uses in culinary as sesoning, it is also used in traditional medicine
to cure headache, cold, cough, wind problems etc.
Garlic or
locally called by the name “bawang putih” is also believed to possess some
magical properties:
·
To
ward off vampire/jenglot
·
To
prevent people from swindling
·
To
defend from black magic attack
·
To
add vitality to your life
The method
is simple: wrap the garlic with a piece of white cloth and hang the bundle in
the four corners of your house.
I am not
sure if the use of garlic to ward off vampire in SEA has anything to do with
the Dracula lore, if you have any information; kindly let me know.
