This will help relieve sore throats and coughs. I've given 2 other remedies which help too. Adapted from Tao Herb Farm. Ingredients:
10 small garlic cloves (or 5 large) |
1/2 cup honey |
water (optional) |
lemon juice (optional) |
Directions:
1. Peel garlic cloves, put into a jar and cover with honey.
2. Set in warm place for 2 weeks or more until the garlic turns opaque.
3. Take 1 teaspoonful as needed to get relief.
4. Dilute with a little water or lemon juice to help it go down easier. Children like it better this way too.
5. Variation for sore throat:.
6. 2 teaspoons honey.
7. 1 teaspoon fresh lemon juice or to taste.
8. 1 cup water.
9. Boil water, add honey and lemon. Drink to relieve sore throat.
