Magic stuff!<\/p><\/div>\n

When our kids complain about earaches and coughs, we reach for the garlic oil. Garlic has great immune boosting properties but it’s also touted as anti-bacterial and even useful for easing coughs.<\/p>\n

Fresh garlic is best because you get more of it’s healing benefits. Plus, it’s already in your pantry!<\/p>\n

Here’s what you need to make the oil.<\/p>\n

knife<\/li>\n

cutting board<\/li>\n

4 garlic cloves<\/li>\n

Carrier oil like olive or coconut<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
1. Chop the garlic.<\/p>\n
2. Add to 1\/4 c oil.<\/p>\n
3. Swirl to mix & let it infuse for at least 10 minutes. (Some people heat it, we don’t).<\/p>\n
I don’t remove the garlic from the oil & it keeps a \u00a0few weeks in cooler temps & probably longer in the fridge.<\/p>\n
We used this recently when our infant had a cough<\/a>.<\/p>\n
We also use this for earaches. I just dip a q-tip in the oil to saturate it (no garlic chunks on the cotton!) and place 3- 4 drops in the affected ear.<\/p>\n
What natural uses do you have for garlic besides cooking? Share!<\/p>\n
