Garlic Allium sativum

Garlic has been used in cooking throughout the world for thousands of years. It is a delicious antimicrobial and warming herb for the immune system. Raw garlic works on contact to help kill germs, particularly those that target the throat, lungs, or digestive system. We eat it liberally I use it every day in my cooking, but did you know that garlic has been used for a super long time for healing? Garlic has a long history of use, including the most famous, it was used as a substitute for penicillin during World War 2, when Russian troops had very few pharmaceutical antibiotics. Garlic proved to be so effective at preventing wound infections, that the herb became known as the Russian Penicillin. It is used for digestive, and respiratory conditions (colds, flus, sinus), earaches, ring worm, athletes’ foot, yeast infections, fungal issues, for people with lymes disease, it is said to be a cure for every ailment, except bad breath. Garlic is also a powerful rejuvenating herb, strengthening along with detoxifying.

Garlic can be used in many recipes. It is considered hot, spicy, warming, and drying. Mince a clove or seven and add it to soups, salads, salad dressings, butter, ghee, olive oil, vinegar, honey, dips, pastas, spreads, and vegetables. Heck I have seen and tasted it when it was put in chocolate!

Before I move on to sharing recipes with garlic, let us look at its herbal healing powers, it’s medicinal qualities...

Actions: It has an affinity to aid the lungs, kidney, spleen, stomach, and large intestine

Increase internal heat, circulatory stimulant, antibacterial, anticoagulant (blood thinner), aromatic, decongestant diuretic, diaphoretic, alterative, digestant, carminative, expectorant, antiseptic, antispasmodic, parasiticide anti-influenza, antimicrobial, antispasmodic, and hypotensive.

Used For (To Name a Few): treatment of all lung ailments(it acts as an expectorant to expel phlegm from the lungs), colds, flus, coughs, bronchitis, pneumonia, infections, fevers, sore throats, ear aches, high or low blood pressure, indigestion, circulation, arthritis, rheumatism, pains, worms, dysentery, fungus, candida, vaginal infections and leukorrhea.

Medicinal Preps: tincture, syrup, vinegar, honey, oil, juice, bolus, douche, paste, enema, salve, food, first aid and plaster

As always and with anything, for some garlic can be hot, spicy and too stimulating. When using it as a food there is no need to make it to strong and if you make it to strong, most children will not like it.

Remember with all things, more is not necessarily better, gentle and slow is the way to go, being consistent is the key and having a variety of organic wholistic foods is what keeps you healthy.

So take the junk food out of your life, eat a variety of organic veggies and organic whole foods with garlic added to them and if you or someone in your family gets sick, then you can increase the amount of garlic that is needed for that moment in time.

A Fun Experiment:

Garlic is absorbed by the body quickly. Take a clove of garlic and rub it on your feet. You most likely will taste or smell it on the skin within seconds. When placed on the feet, garlic can have a beneficial effect on the lungs.

Garlic Ear Oil for Earaches -Childerns Ear Oil: Recipe by Stephen Buhaner, from his book Herbal Antivirals

YOU WILL NEED TO ORDER OR PURCHASE AN AMBER TINTURE TYPE BOTTLE (to store garlic ear oil)

Most childhood ear infections can be treated successfully with herbs. You will also find that the more you change your child’s diet by eliminating foods that their bodies cannot tolerate, such as dairy, earaches will become a thing of the past.

Also, Stephen mentions in his book ‘children are most susceptible to ear infections from antibiotic resistant strains’. When a child has become more susceptible to ear infections from antibiotic resistant strains, you need to work on their immune system, with herbs, lifestyle, and diet changes. By doing this you will make their immune system strong so they can fight off the infections or become resistant to getting the infection.

Ingredients: Please by organic when possible.

Do not use aluminum or copper cookware

5 cloves garlic

4 ounces olive oil

20 drops eucalyptus essential oil

Mince garlic

Place in a small baking dish with the olive oil

Label product: name, ingredients, date and instructions on how to use

Roasted Garlic:

You will need a small corning ware dish with a lid or a dish that is used for roasted garlic

If you are roasting chopped up veggies, meat or potatoes you can also place the garlic bulb in the same dish. If you do this you need to drizzle a tiny amount of olive oil on top of the garlic bulb.

I personally don’t use foil to roast anything, it is made from aluminum which is toxic to the human body.

Preheat oven to 350 degrees

Cut tips off the pointy end of a head of garlic (do not separate the cloves)

Place in the middle of the dish, drizzle a tiny amount of olive oil over the bulb, cover with lid

Heat about 30 to 40 minutes

Garlic should be a golden color and soft

Remove from oven, it will be hot so be careful

Squeeze the heads at the bottom to pop out the roasted garlic cloves

3 cloves garlic, smashed and chopped

1/3 cup organic extra virgin olive oil

I am not giving you any medical advise.  It is up to you to research the information that is given and make your own informed choices. 

Because I want to get some information out to you quickly this is going to be a short blog version, on what to do to keep your respiratory system healthy.  If you have any questions, please send me an e-mail or call and leave a message.

With most of you wearing masks for many hours day after day, using toxic hand sanitizer a zillion times a day, using toxic chemicals to clean and now the SMOKE from the fires, you are at risk for having lung issues or catching something. 

I also know most of you do not have bulk herbs, so I am going to recommend things that you can get at the store or online that do not require a lot of space or time to make.   In the close future you might want to consider creating a little herbal apothecary and create your own medicine chest filled with things that you and your family might need.  Especially if a crisis happens and you can't get to a doctor.  For example something as simple as sage, sage in your garden or in your kitchen is great for a sore throats and for hot flashes.  If you look far enough back,  all of our ancestors medicine chests (pouches) were plants that they collected and not a chest full of plastic bottles with synthetic drugs with side effects. 

OK I digress 

Back to the subject 

Lets start with the nervous system.    This system in particular is very neglected meaning so many people are feeding their nervous systems with the wrong things and end up making their situations worse.  Examples would be caffeinated products, alcohol, sweets, sugar, energy drinks, too much news, to much screen time, video games, light pollution, staying up late and emotional stress. 

Oh did I say emotional stress, oh man 2020 has been the year for this, but at the same time I keep seeing people loading their grocery store carts with sugar, salt and fat and don't get me started on the long lines I see at the fast food restaurants even in the early morning.  Yikes!!  It might be comfort foods folks but if you are full of fear and worry about catching a virus (no matter what year it is), then you really should consider changing your diet and toxic comfort foods to something else.  

On that note, please keep in mind alcohol sales and cannabis sales are up.  Although these items, for some people, might relax them, overuse will tax their systems to.  These particular items, dry out the system.  

Diet:

Avoid all mucous forming foods:  I personally would do this for the next 4 plus months.  I know the holidays are coming, but with everyone's systems being majorly taxed this year it is vitally important to avoid SUGAR. 

AVOID:

ALL SUGAR, ALL WHITE SUGAR, CORN SYRUP, HIGH FRUCTOSE CORN SYRUP 

Pod Casts On The Toxicity Of Sugar:

https://www.westonaprice.org/sv/podcast/252-the-bitter-truth-about-...

https://inciweb.nwcg.gov/incident/article/7174/55400/

All fruits high in sugar, , grapes, bananas, dried fruits - (Stick to the berry group, avocados, lime, lemon) 

Cold foods - ice cream, smoothies, etc... 

Dairy products, 

Eggs

Refined and processed food

Artificial flavors and Colors

Hydrogenated oil

Peanuts

Soy, corn and canola

Make Sure You Get Plenty Of: Organic Whole Foods

A diet rich in green and bitter vegetables, non sweet citrus (lemons, limes, grapefruit) organic sources of protein, such as grass fed meats, pasture raised meats, lentils, beans, wild caught fish, nuts that have been soaked and dehydrated.

With the weather starting to change and cool,  it is time to think about soups and stews and bone broths.  It is time to think about eating warming foods.   Plan to eat steamed greens, roasted roots and drink hot herbal teas.  

Bone Broth with Mushrooms and Veggie broth cooking.  I blended the veggie broth and added it to the bone broth.  

Water - make sure you are getting enough water, drink spring water or filtered water

Rest 

Sleep

Oxygen - Regular deep breathing exercises makes a happier nervous system

Recharge Your lungs - When the air clears, seek out places regularly, that are alive with fresh air, such as lakes, beaches, rivers, waterfalls and high mountains.

Exercise - When the smoke clears.  Fatigue and ill health are often caused by oxygen deficiency in the cells.  If you are not exercising you are not getting your lungs moving.  Your lungs need exercise, therefore it feeds your  body oxygen, oxygen heals.  Depleted oxygen kills, no air, no breath.  Lack of air ill health.  Masks keep you from getting adequate oxygen and they turn off your immune system. It is vital that you get good oxygen to be healthy.  

Cold Water Bathing, hydrotherapy, Epsom salt baths, sitz baths and hot herbal steams.  All of these are vital to good health or help you heal.  And yes cold water bathing is healing.   It is one of the oldest and most effective forms of natural therapy.   It helps poor circulation, sluggish digestion, builds chi/energy and has many other health benefits.   

To Do cold water bathing you can start in the autumn.  Start with a regular warm shower.  Then slowly or quickly begin to turn the water to cold.  Stand under it as long as possible, at least 20 seconds, being sure all parts of the body are exposed to it.  Do these several times and end your shower on cold. 

If you are tired, stressed and/or inflamed try this and you will be surprised.  In the past I have had family members wake up not feeling well and I would immediately have them get into the shower and do this.  After they get out I would give them a warm cuppa tea, possible tincture in the tea and a good morning healthy meal and they were back to 100%.   

If smoke is bothering you trying taking a nice warm Epsom salt bath with a few drops of eucalyptus essential oil.  A cuppa tea with one "Breath Easy" tea bag and two "Cup of Calm" tea bags and 30 drops of a relaxing nervine.   Don't fall asleep in the bath tub.    See Below for tea bag resources.   

As far as the Epsom salt baths,sitz baths, hot herbal steams and/or hydrotherapy, there are lots of resources and instructions on the internet.  All are a wonderful protocol to add to your life.

Next Section:

I am assuming most of you do not have bulk herbs, so most of this program is written up using tea bags from tea companies.  Because tea bags are not very strong, you will notice I am suggesting that you use several tea bags to get the medicinal benefits of the herbs. 

Please keep in mind the longer you steep your tea the more medicinal it becomes.   If you have young healthy kids, you don't need to make things strong and please use just one tea bag. 

As always if you have any questions and need medical advice please contact your doctor of choice.  

If you are alcohol sensitive or an alcoholic DO NOT USE TINCTURES OR ANY OTHER HERBAL PRODUCT THAT MIGHT HAVE ALCOHOL, there are alcohol free choices made with glycerin and you can also use capsules, herbal vinegar, oxymels and syrups.   There are many herbal companies out there that make them, so you will not have a problem finding alcohol free products.  

Suggestions For Nervous System Care: Pick One or A Few

Side Note:  It can take up to three months of consistently taking any supplement to feel its effects

I personally like making a cuppa relaxing tea and adding 30 drips of a relaxing tincture in it.  Do this 3 times a day.
