Garlic can be used as a natural alternative to antibiotics
Garlic has generated much interest throughout history for it medicinal uses. Crushed garlic has been proven to have antibacterial properties which kill a vast range of bacteria including, Salmonella, Streptococcus, Helicobacter pylori and MRSA.
So what makes it garlic so effective?
Allicin, is the oxygenated sulfur amino acid that is present in high volumes and is responsible for garlic's super powers.Studies have shown that by taking garlic regularly it is possible to significantly reduce the risk of becoming susceptible to harmful bacteria.
How to make the most of this wonderful plant.
For best results, eat garlic as raw as possible as cooking reduces the presence of the allicin. Adding it to salad dressings or chopped fresh and sprinkled over a meal is ideal. Although it is important to point out that eating raw garlic can sometimes irritate stomach acid if the body is not used to it.
Garlic supplements can be taken as a milder alternative and are odorless. However it is best to avoid the oil or aged supplements and choose the powdered ones such as Garlic Powder capsules or Allicin Powder extract.
I use garlic everyday I just peal the cloves and make a slit down the back and cover them with raw organic local honey I actually get a twofold advantage from this the juice from thr garlic mixes with the honey and I use it on minor cuts and sores

I mince 3 cloves and add 1 tbs raw honey and take 3 times a day when sick. otherwise, I eat it regularly with every meal. For the kids (who won't swallow garlic or drink tea) I make a ginger root and garlic tea for them using 1 inch ginger root and 5 cloves garlic to 8 oz water. I add honey after it cools a little and give it to them via medicine syringe. 10 ml every 2 hours. They take to it a lot better than drinking the tea. I give ever 2 hours since cooking does reduce allicin, ginger is for tummy, honey for flavor (obviously). :) thanks for sharing
ReplyDeletewhen I'm sick I use 12 cloves to 3 tbs raw honey and take 1 tbs 3x's/day. For my kids (who can't/won't swallow garlic) I make a tea w/ 12 cloves, 1 inch fresh ginger root, 8 oz boiling water, steep 5 min, add 3 tbs raw honey and give to them in doses w/ medicine syringe 10 ml every 2 hours. Like magic, all symptoms are gone within a day or so.
