Miraculous Garlic Remedies For All
Garlic as an Antibiotic:
Allicin, is the strongest known antibiotic component in garlic. It is created from an enzyme reaction between the compounds in garlic when it’s crushed or sliced. Since it’s a constantly changing compound, it is *very* difficult for bacteria, viruses, and other microbes to learn how to beat the system…something that they can do much more easily with single component antibiotics.Allicin is not stomach friendly…the stomach acids shut it down. Which is probably in your best interest, because your digestive system is supposed to be powered by “friendly” bacteria that you don’t really want to kill off.The great news is that allicin can be absorbed through the skin, directly into the bloodstream.
The Two Secrets to Using Garlic Effectively:
- Use it at the first sign of an illness, and use it frequently. Infections work by multiplying in your body at rapid rates…so the earlier you can hit it, the smaller their army, and the less damage they can do. The earlier you treat, the more impact your going to have on the duration and severity of the illness. A cold or sore throat that has been bother you for a day or two is much more likely to become an acute infection, as the germs colonize and take over at an amazingly rapid rate. Hours count.
- Use garlic both internally and externally. This will give you the best of both worlds: fighting the infection in the blood, as well as boosting the immune response.
How To Use Garlic as an Antibiotic:
This is the garlic remedy of choice. Its effective in treating colds, sore throats, ear aches/infections and even the flu.
Place a raw clove of garlic inside the cheek, and bite it down with the molars (no chewing…just bite and hold). Hold it in the same place in mouth for anywhere from a few minutes to as long as you can stand.And you would be surprised to see that you will never be a victim of sore throat again if done at the first sign itself.
The idea behind this method is introducing allicin into the mucous membranes of the mouth and throat. On top of directly confronting the infection, the allicin is also swiftly absorbed into the blood stream in the area below the tongue
The Garlic Press
It just takes a minute to put together a garlic press. This is how I use raw garlic for the best antibiotic punch. Basically, you put down a spot of oil, smish some garlic, and fold the paper towel up around it…just takes a quick minute. Especially if you use a hammer.
To Use Your Garlic Press
Press against the skin near the area that you are focusing treatment on. I generally prefer the neck or chest area. The neck is just easy access to lots of blood vessels, and the lymph glands. The throat is usually one of the first areas that we start feeling symptoms.
This is because the airways are generally the first place that we encounter incoming germs…so the body is created with an incredible immune response system for identifying and neutralizing attacks right inside the nasal and throat passages. The lymph glands there are part of the immune system. They house specialized T cells that are your body’s sentinels.
In a healthy body with a well functioning primary immune system, these “Killer T Cells” recognize and overcome invading pathogens, and send out messages to every cell in the body telling the cells how to kill off that pathogen. A healthy immune system is an AMAZING thing!
Hold the press in place for a couple of minutes, or as long as you can stand the smell. Some people are sensitive to garlic, and their skin will get red and may sting. If this is the case, just be careful to move the press to a different location each time they start feeling it sting. Try to get as much into the system as possible, with as little trauma as possible. Wipe down the area well after using the press if the person is sensitive to the oils.
***If you suspect that the person is allergic to garlic, or any member of the allium family, then it would be wise to use another herbal remedy.***
Garlic Press Tips
-the strongest concentration of allicin is within the first 15 minutes of the clove being smashed…so use it effectively within the time period.Then, throw the garlic press away.-To make the smell more tolerable: We break out a scarf or something to cover the press while they hold it in place.
Eating raw garlic is a great way to boost the immune systems in your family if a bug is going around. The trick to this is making something delicious with it!
Add raw garlic to salsa,
pasta (alla checca is a favorite here!), or
mix chopped raw garlic into melted butter and pour it over rolls.
The Remedy for Garlic Remedies
And speaking of bad breath…if you can’t stand the smell of garlic, then add in or eat a bit of fresh or dried parsley with your garlic. If you use it topically, make dried parsley ‘tea’ with hot water and use that to wash the offending area, or rub the area with something made of stainless steel to remove the oils.If you can’t stand the burn/taste of garlic, try warming it in butter or using it with a recipe that uses oil (pesto, salad dressing, pasta sauce with olive oil). Melted butter is just shy of magic with garlic, turning the fiesty burn into a velvety rich flavor. It’s my preferred way to take garlic raw (with warm yeast rolls, of course).
For skin that is sensitive to garlic, try applying garlic remedies to the back or the soles of the feet, which seem to be less sensitive skin. If you’re sensitive to the smell of garlic, then applying GOOT or garlic oil to the soles of the feet just before bed, and layer with old socks to prevent oil stains.
