No, garlic cannot help with compartment syndrome. This occurs when there is too much pressure being applied to the tissue and muscles under a cast. This is considered a medical emergency because it could cause a person to lose their limb or permanently unable to use it. The only treatment is a fasciotomy; this is when a surgeon makes a cut in the affected area to relive all the pressure. Garlic is known to lower blood pressure though. But before using any herbal products consult with your doctor because they are not approved by the FDA and could interact with other medication that you may be on.
