This wonderful herb is GARLIC. Yes thats right Garlic (Allium Sativum) is a plant with a very strong and bitter flavor which has been used for both culinary and medical purposes for hundreds of years.. The magic compound in garlic that produces most of these great effects is Allicin, which is known to have wonderful anti-bacterial, anti-viral, anti-fungal and anti-oxidant properties.
To best take advantage of the Allicin eat your garlic fresh & raw or cold pickled; after cutting and left to sit 10 minutes - 4 hours to activate this useful compound. You can also make garlic oil & apply to bottom of feet or to the back of your wrist to let it enter your bloodstream quickly.
Peel garlic cloves & cut into quarters to fill a small mason jar 3/4 of the way full. Let garlic sit for a minimum of 10 minutes to activate natural allicin. Then pour honey over the garlic until the jar is about 1/3 full of honey, then pour vinegar in to fill the rest. Add 1/2 tsp. salt if desired for taste. Shake well, and leave it to sit for 4 weeks (shaking occasionally). You can start eating after two days yet cloves will still have crunch. You now have sweet garlic pickles!
If the family gets a cold, have one or two pickled garlic pickles a day to help get over the cold and get the whole family feeling better. You can also take one clove a day as preventative medicine when people around you are getting sick.
Use four cloves of garlic ( MINCED ) for every 1/4 cup of olive oil, make sure the garlic you choose is from your garden or organic. Combine olive oil and minced garlic in a saucepan and heat over very low for 15 minutes, watch it stirring often & make sure to not burn the garlic or oil. Remove from the heat & cover until cooled. Strain the garlic from the oil. Pour into a dropper bottle and label with what it is & the date . Keep refrigerated, where it will last for a couple of months, warm before each use.
Apply a few drops of GARLIC OIL to the affected areas & rub into the skin before bed & put on a sock. Continue to apply nightly until you athletes foot issue disappears.
Put 3-4 drops of warm garlic oil in each affected ear while head is tilted on its side for about 10-15 minutes. repeat 2-3 times daily until symptoms are gone.
Garlic's ability to fight bacteria and infections makes it a super effective cure for warts and other skin problems. Use a fresh clove of garlic and cut its tip off. Rub the cut area of the clove directly onto the wart for a few seconds. Repeat this procedure each night before going to bed until the wart vanishes.
Fresh & raw garlic is always the best. But if you either can't handle the taste or dont have access to the fresh option then get your hands on some odorless non irradiated garlic pills. Beware of of garlic pills from china because most of these options are irradiated & have lost most of their potent natural healing properties.
