Home Remedies - Garlic!
by Candace Liccione 

As heard on Inspired at Home Radio - May 17, 2009!

Home remedies are amazing! Garlic is a great home remedy and medicinal herb. It is a staple in our family. The joke in my family is that my husband loves garlic so much that he could eat it on his cereal.  But I don't think he really knows how good it is for him! Garlic as a home remedy is good for blister, diaper rash, bacterial infection, abscesses, wounds, for parasites, a great earache oil and good for high blood pressure.

Garlic is a wonderful medicinal herb because of its antibiotic and antiviral properties. Garlic contains protein, fat, carbohydrates, selenium, Vitamins A, B-1, B-6, C. E. calcium, protein and potassium -- and that's just the sort list. Garlic helps you in slimming as the allicin in it aids weight loss, lowers blood levels of insulin, helps prevent fatty deposits forming inside the arteries, protects the heart and fights infection. Garlic is also good for chest and throat infections, inhibits the growth of internal and external bacteria and fungi and eliminates parasites. So feel free to use as much garlic in your cooking as your family can tolerate or try the garlic tablets that are odor free if fresh garlic gives you bad breath. The reason garlic gives you bad breath is that the essential oils in the garlic are excreted through the respiratory system and the skin. To lessen this effect, chew parsley, thyme or peppermint immediately after eating garlic. Bon appetit!   Read about more interesting home remedies! >>GO! ~
