Healing Remedies With Garlic

|
Garlic Oil Remedy:
For colds, flu, fever, any infectious diseases: Take one teaspoon every hour. Place 8 ounces of peeled, minced garlic in a jar with enough olive oil to cover. Close and let sit for 3 days, shaking occasionally. You may wish to strain it through cheesecloth, and then store in a cool place.
Healing Garlic Syrup:
For coughs, colds, sore throats, and bronchial congestion: Take one tablespoon 3 times a day before meals. Here’s how to make the syrup: Place one pound of peeled, minced garlic in a 2-quart jar. Fill the jar nearly to the top with equal parts of apple cider vinegar and distilled water. Cover and let stand for 4 days, shaking a few times daily. Add one cup of glycerine and let stand 1 more day. Strain through muslin. Stir in one cup of honey and store in a cool place.
Add a Little to Every Salad
Take 1 to 3 cloves of garlic and peel them. Crush them with a broad knife by slamming the side of your hand on the flat side of the knife as it rests on a clove. Do not hit the sharp edge! Chop fine. Or, if you prefer, use a garlic press. A garlic press is like a pair of pliers for squeezing garlic. Just pop a clove into the receptacle and squeeze the two handles together. The garlic comes out of little holes ready to use. Add to any salad dressing recipe or simply mix with oil and vinegar, adding the spices you prefer (many packaged salad spice mixtures are great). Be sure to include fresh parsley to your salad to neutralize the odor.
Nature’s Best Medicine
My friend Genene’s car broke down once during a bad winter rainstorm. Huddled in the cold car, she shivered for hours while waiting for a tow truck. Very shortly after that, she contracted a severe case of bronchitis.
I suggested garlic oil, but she was suspicious of home remedies and sought more conventional treatment. She was given antibiotics by her doctor and got through the worst of it, but the cough and her general fatigue just seemed to linger on. I finally brought over a batch of garlic oil to her home and stood by to make sure she swallowed it.
Within minutes, Genene was surprised to admit that she could feel it working in her chest and sinuses. The garlic oil was so effective that after a day or two she felt better than she had in weeks. In a few days, she was completely over the last of the bronchitis, giving her a new appreciation for one of nature’s best medicines: garlic!
