Hooray for Garlic!

[Rebekah jarmanStudent]

Can I just say thank you to this fascinating herb that has helped my life so much!  I’ve used garlic for multiple virus’s, bacterial infections, pin worms, RSV in a newborn baby, fungus and it flavors most of my savory dishes!  It is one amazing little clove of goodness 🙂

Garlic really is astounding.

Don't use herbs or combine herbs with medications or use them during lactation or pregnancy without talking with your healthcare provider.

I love garlic, however it upsets my stomach.  Is there a way to take it without irritating my bowels?

[JoelleStudent]

I can relate a little. I usually do better if I always take it with a meal and don’t eat it in the evening. Somehow lying down makes it worse. Also, dried is easier than fresh. And if you grow your own, there are some varieties that are so much milder. Red German garlic to me is the most irritating. Elephant is quite mild. However, does mild mean also less medicinal?

Yes, we love growing garlic each year in our garden. The scapes are wonderful to use as well as the bulbs!

[Eric SchlesingerStudent]

Thanks.  I hope garlic is equally effective in any variety.  However, it might be less.

[Brandy BoudreauxStudent]

Yes, I harvested garlic for the first time this year and love it. I planted even more this fall for harvest next year. First time trying the scapes as well and they were wonderful.

I have seen how cheep it is in the grocery stores near me, and tastes great in many a food recipe as well.

How did you use garlic to help a new baby for RSV?

[Ashley HauckStudent]

In my own experience with my kids I would put a thin layer of paper towel on their feet so the garlic doesn’t blister the skin, and use either fresh crushed garlic or squeeze the juice from garlic pills if we were out of fresh garlic, and then cover it up with a bandaid and socks to hold it in place. Within about 20-30 minutes you could smell the garlic on their breath, and they would be feeling better in no time!

Thanks for sharing this. I’m helping to raise three grandchildren, presently 2yo, 5yo and 8yo. Their mom is excited to have Nana here to use her natural remedies with the family, and now I have one more.

I’m new to the school, but have loved garlic forever. I look forward to learning more ways to use it. ☺

How would you use garlic on baby? My niece’s 5 month old was in the hospital with RSV last week. Thankfully he’s better, but would be good to know.

Rosemay Gladstar puts raw garlic in ACV fto cover for a number of weeks, then removes half of the ACV, takes the remaining ACV and mixes it with the same amount of honey and then put it back in the jar with the ACV soaked garlic.  Lets it set a few weeks and its ready.  The recipe is in her beginners book.  The garlic is a lot more mellow with a hint of honey.  Its much more tolerable and is still raw, so the medicinal qualities are still there. Very edible.

Another herbalist takes garlic, smashes it, put it in room temp. water, waits 5 minutes, strains it and takes it that way. (drinks the water part)

It would be nice to know how they incorporate garlic for RSV in a baby!

I have stopped vomiting by whizzing garlic in a blender with sterile water, then put into an new but EMPTY fleet enema bottle and use it as you would a reg. enema. Done twice 30 minutes apart.  The sooner the better. Stops vomiting.  A gal named Shoshanna had a video on it years ago.  I cant remember if she added salt or not.

Very edible.  Check out the book’s recipe for any clarification.

We take fresh garlic and put it through a meat grinder, then dry on parchment paper in a dehydrator.

I’ve planted a lot of garlic this past Fall and can’t wait until the Summer to harvest it and be able to store it for long periods.

[Michelle HayashiStudent]

I agree that garlic is amazing! It has helped our family get over all sorts of bugs and viruses that nothing else seemed to help!

[Lindsay RiveraStudent]

I love garlic as well. Have been drinking ginger and garlic shots lately. I was sick recently still have mucus, but had a lot of thick mucus in my sinuses still and my friend showed me a video where kids put garlic clove directly in their nostrils, not all the way up, but just plugged in there a bit and a lot of mucus came out. I thought, what the heck I better try this, because I needed it out so I could sing better. Well, it worked! I sneezed and had a lot to blow out and it brought out the thickest mucus I had ever seen or had before..it was also brownish.. hope that’s not too gross LOL
