Garlic Oil

This is great for sickness! Garlic is a natural antifungal and antivirus.  And I think it even keeps the vampires away.  You can swallow small whole cloves if you prefer.

To make garlic oil:
Mince 4-5 garlic cloves in a small bowl.  Pour olive oil in to cover the garlic.  Let it sit for an hour or so.   Make in small batches when you need it.

To use:
Immune booster:  Mix with salt, parsley, basil, oregano and dip bread in it.  Eat!  Pour on salad, rice or quinoa.  Eat fresh parsley afterwards to counteract the garlic taste.

Cough, cold, flu, fevers: Strain the oil, then rub the oil on your feet and then put socks on.  Can also rub on chest, cover with cloth.

Ear ache - warm oil by dropping oil on spoon over burner on med heat.  (this doesn't take very long.)  Get a dropper and test warmth by dropping a drop of oil on the inside wrist - it should feel warm, not hot or cold.  Drop 2-3 drops in each ear 2-3 times a day for several days, continuing 1-2 days after the pain leaves. Put a piece of cotton ball in the ear to keep it from running out (can remove after a few minutes.)
