Garlic is antifungal, antibacterial, antiviral. Probably anti something else too. lol

I use it as an antibiotic. Garlic honey tea is..not the best tasting stuff, but not too bad, and extremely good for colds and the flu. It's also highly effective for upset stomachs. Garlic oil is good for ear stuff. Taking crushed cloves in honey (taste and honey itself is a very useful thing) is probably the best way to take them, unless you're really hating garlic and you crush it and stick it inside of empty capsules.

You can also cut a clove into 2 or 3 pieces and swallow them like pills.

One caution...garlic is...well...garlic. Eat with it if you're trying the crushed in honey or raw cloves as pills method or it might upset your tummy. And if you want to use it on your skin, mix it into a cream or oil base to dilute it. It *can* burn if not used with caution. (and that bit about yeast infections? Do please keep this in mind before trying that.....it's very effective, but if you're sensitive..that is not something you want to find out after sleeping through your experiment...)

The thing in garlic (it starts with an A and I'd have to look it up to get it right..lol) that is useful for illnesses and infections is produced when the clove is crushed. If you crush the clove and let it set for 20 minutes or so, you'll be getting a lot more effective dose than if you take it immediately (and that's why I let my garlic oil sit for awhile).

I've heard good results, but I haven't tried it on myself. I haven't had the flu in, I don't remember when. If I get a cold I just take extra Vit. C - it always does the trick.

My mom always had us do the peroxide in the ear thing after swimming to keep us from getting swimmers ear. It seems to work, I still do it when I am having any kind discomfort in my ears.

And if anyone is going to grow their own garlic it is time to get it in the ground now. Garlic should winter in the ground for a June harvest. Onions too... Leeks... etc

That would be fun to try. Now, we only do tomatoes and jalapenos (for me)!

Do Jalapenos have any type of important healing properties? I sure to eat a lot of them.

I used to go to a herbalist pretty often and he did it a few times, I wasn't crazy about it. I like the peroxide better, the fizzing makes me feel like it is really working! LOL!

I've used them on my kids. Boy, they will pull out the wax, that's for sure! They loved being scared of the fire right above their heads! I wrap foil around a paper plate before sticking the candle through the plate.

Well, I love to play with fire, so you know I like the candles!!! LOL!

Have you ever shot lighter fluid at a spider and his web and thumped a match? Way cool and way fun!

Okay, for all the Bugs Life fans - get over it!!!
