Garlic works great for many things. If you want to ward off evil spirits and vampires, hang a clove of it around your neck or on the door of your house. Ancient wisdom and old wives tales say that by doing so it helps to keep dark forces at bay. While that may or may not be the case, garlic has always been highly regarded as a powerhouse of a food that can help keep us healthy.
The pungent bulbs provide our bodies with numerous health benefits and you don’t even have to eat it to gain some of them! If you ever happen to suffer from an annoying, painful, terrible feeling headache or earache, garlic can help relieve your misery.
Take a clean peeled clove of garlic and gently place it in the opening of your ear, like you would an ear plug. After a short while you’ll start to feel a heat sensation spreading through your ear and then the pain and irritation will begin to subside. Leave the clove in your ear for at least 30-35 minutes or longer and if you want you can even leave it in overnight.
Garlic is effective at treating ear infections because it has anti-bacterial and anti-viral properties. They get to the root of the problem and work naturally to cut down and kill the bacteria and germs in your inner ear that are causing all the pain and misery.
It also has natural antiseptic properties that reduce the risk of further or future infection. Garlic is also anti-inflammatory and can work wonders at reducing the swelling and throbbing that accompanies ear aches. That’s why a small piece of it in your ear can make a huge difference.
Furthermore, if you eat garlic you’ll end up giving your immune system a boost because it’s packed with nutrients like fiber, Vitamins C and B6, potassium, and calcium.
Whenever you feel like you’re coming down with something or get a cold, skip the meds and instead pop some garlic since it has been proven to help reduce the severity of symptoms associated with the flu and common cold.
Whether you eat it or place a clove of it in your ear, a little bit of garlic can be an immense benefit to you in the end and your body will thank you.
