What is it?
Garlic is one of the most beneficial foods/medicines on the planet.
Aged Garlic extracts are good for sticky blood and cardiovascular health but for immunity and infection Garlic has to be fresh to be at its best. When you cut or crush Garlic it releases substances that have profound antimicrobial and therapeutic action but those substances quickly degrade after the garlic has been broken open. Here are four ‘recipes’ using fresh Garlic that I have found to be consistently effective. ~ Dynamite on Toast: ‘the Wormer’ This is to kill worms, fungi and bugs that have taken up lodging in the gut.
This is insanely strong but after years of experimenting on myself and others this is the method that I have found that enables the maximum dose of fresh garlic with maximum pleasure. Plan B is to make a bowl of Guacamole with equally ridiculously large amounts of Garlic, then eat it. ~ The Toe-Cleaner (for fungal infections of the feet) Take a whole bulb (that means the whole thing) and put through a kitchen blender with about a litre of warm water or as much as you need to soak your foot or feet. You need to soak your foot or infected toes for a good 20 minutes, and you need to be prepared to do this two to three times a week for as many weeks as it takes to clear the infection. Fungal infections of the feet are famously hard to treat but this treatment should work if you persist with it. Be careful to check your skin for any sign of being 'burnt' by the Garlic water. If this happens there will be no lasting damage (you can be sure that there will be much more harm to the fungi than to you) but you should reduce the time you spend in the foot bath rather than the amount of garlic in the mixture. ~ Thrush and such Women who have been plagued with vaginal thrush or bacterial vaginitis know how heart-sinkingly difficult those problems can be, especially when pharmaceutical options haven’t worked. However there is a treatment using Garlic that can still succeed where other measures have failed. I first learned of this from Dr Nicky Baillie, a wonderful GP herbalist working out of Auckland, New Zealand. She said that she gets funny looks from women when she tells them how to do it (I can vouch for that too) but that it really works. She’s right, it does. Take one medium sized clove of garlic, lightly peel so as to leave a thin ‘skin’ on the garlic. Insert into the vagina and leave overnight (here is where the funny looks come in). Yes you can fish it out in the morning (says Nicky) and apparently she's right. I have had another female herbalist tell me that she tells her patients to tie a little bit of dental floss around the clove, a bit like a tampon, and take it out that way and another colleague tell me that she recommends her female patients place the peeled garlic clove in a small piece of muslin cloth if the direct treatment proves to be too strong. The next night you have to take an actual tampon, roll it in a probiotic (healthy bacteria) powder and also insert overnight. On the third night you have to repeat the garlic process a second time And on the fourth night you have to repeat the probiotic a second time. A third round may or may not be necessary. Most women respond very quickly to this treatment although they may still need to repeat it periodically if the symtoms start to return.
Once the oil is in, turn the head to one side to keep the oil in for a few minutes then let it drain out into a cloth or tissue. You may need to repeat this process a half dozen times or more to really kill the infection but the discomfort usually starts to subside very quickly.
