Uses of garlic

Some uses of Garlic.

Remedies

  • Rub the soles of the feet with cut/crushed garlic.
  • Drink a tonic of honey and garlic for 10 days to cleanse the blood.
  • For toothache, place one sliver of garlic in the tooth cavity to relieve pain and draw out the pus.
  • As an emergency pimple cure, one drop of garlic extracts (from crushed garlic) plus two drops of virgin coconut oil or olive oil placed on affected area should bring down the infection.
  • As a sprain balm: On the inflamed area, place three to four cloves of crushed garlic, on top of a thin film of oil (baby, olive or VCO). Bandage well. Inflammation should go down within two to three hours.

Garlic breath

Why does something so good smell so bad? Remember, if it weren't for this odor, there wouldn't be benefits. So if you don't like the smell, keep the garlic uncut and whole. Once bruised, its pungent odor is released.

Some odor fighters:

  • Eat fresh apples and chew on an orange skin or coffee bean.
  • Sip cinnamon tea.
  • To remove garlic smell on the hands, rub them with lemon and salt, then rinse with water.
