You will need 3–4 cloves of garlic, peeled and gently crushed, 1 tablespoon of raw honey (preferably organic), and 5–6 cloves, either whole or ground.
The preparation of this powerful blend is as easy as it sounds.
Start by crushing the garlic and letting it sit for about 10 minutes. This short waiting time allows allicin, garlic’s main healing compound, to activate. Next, combine the crushed garlic with honey in a small glass jar and stir well until evenly coated.
Add the cloves, you can use them whole or ground, and mix again so that the flavors and properties can infuse together.
Finally, seal the jar tightly and let it rest for at least 24 hours. During this period, the honey draws out beneficial compounds from the garlic and cloves, creating a golden-colored syrup.
How to use it:
Take one teaspoon on an empty stomach every morning to strengthen your immune system. For digestion, have a spoonful after meals. To soothe a sore throat, mix it into warm water for a comforting tea. If you’re using it for joint pain, massage the oil onto sore areas and wrap with a warm towel for a few minutes.
