Preparation:
Crush the Garlic: Start by peeling and finely mincing or crushing 1-2 cloves of garlic. Crushing garlic helps release more of its active compounds.
Mix with Honey: Immediately mix the crushed garlic with a tablespoon of honey. Let the mixture sit for about 10-15 minutes. This allows the garlic’s properties to infuse into the honey, creating a more potent remedy.
Consume: Take the mixture by the spoonful. If you’re particularly sensitive to the taste of raw garlic, you can spread it on a small piece of bread or cracker to make it more palatable.
How to Use This Remedy
At the First Sign of Illness: As soon as you notice symptoms of a cold or flu, such as a sore throat, cough, or general malaise, take a spoonful of the garlic and honey mixture.
Frequency: Consume a spoonful of this mixture up to three times a day until symptoms subside. The garlic helps fight the infection, while the honey soothes any irritation and discomfort.
Precautions
While garlic and honey are generally safe for most people, garlic can thin the blood and should be used with caution by those on blood-thinning medications. Honey should not be given to children under one year of age due to the risk of botulism.
Conclusion
Using garlic and honey at the first sign of illness can provide a natural, effective way to alleviate symptoms and support your body’s healing process. This remedy harnesses the natural antibacterial and immune-boosting properties of both ingredients, offering a quick solution to help you start feeling better. Always consider your health conditions and consult with a healthcare provider if symptoms persist or worsen.
