Thank you Glenda for this helpful post.

I talked to my mama the other day and she told me to...

crush one clove of garlic in a mug,

add a dash of red pepper,

2 Tb of fresh lemon juice

some honey if desired

and pour boiling water in the cup, let sit a few min then drink.

She takes this when she has a cold and says it really works.

I know time breakes up mucas, I put it in my chicken soup along with red pepper. This seems to be healing.

Love ya sis, ~ Darlene ~

This recipe is not for colds and flu however it works great.


Ear meds..

Take a small jar peel some garlic cloves and cut up place in jar top with olive oil and sit in a window where there is lots of sun. Shake four or five times a day for a week. Remove from window and remove garlic cloves place oil in frig. when you have a ear ache warm oil and place in ear put cotton ball in that ear. Do this many times a day. Belive it or not it does heal a bad infected ear. WE use it a whole lot for the children..
