Hello Greg, That was one of my questions that I planned to ask (but haven’t as of yet) Doc. He has Garlic Root in some formulas and I wondered if that was actual “root” or was in meaning garlic clove? I’m sorry, I did not note which formulas but you might search the formulas category for garlic root to find some. (but I don’t know if that was root or clove as I know he says ginger root and explains that he means the rhizome when he says root so, likewise, I wonder about the garlic root …)

I was revisiting the Respiratory Webinar and saw the answer to your question. You will find in the Plants section at the end of the webinar “Garlic Root” and in the details “the bulb is the medicine”. I hope that adds clarity 🙂

The actual little roots aren’t what I’m using. I’m using the clove or bud or whatever it is…you know, the garlicky part.

I get pretty lazy with the term “root”. If it’s the part you have to dig up, I call it the root.

I use ‘honey garlic’ for viral syndromes (i.e. anything flu/cold related).  To make this you peel the garlic cover it with honey and let it sit for as long as you want.  The honey eventually saturates the garlic and takes away that powerful garlic ‘bite’ when you chew on it.  When I’m fighting some horrible crud I alternate chewing on a clove of garlic and taking a dropperful of elderberry tincture.  I am usually over the viral crud within 24-36 hours.  Cheers to herbal medicine!!
