GARLIC: THE MASTER HERB

Garlic– this master herb is a part of the leek family; cousin to the onion. It is a natural antibiotic– a blood cleanser that kills bacteria, yeast, viruses and fungus. Helps prevent heart disease by lowering high blood pressure and preventing hardening of arteries, kills parasites. Garlic is a great immune system booster and is also effective in support of the circulatory system- very helpful for infections in the lungs, including pneumonia. Ref: Nature's Sunshine

Garlic cloves are best for the body when digested raw. Cloves eaten raw can be very effective healer in the primary stages of infections. Though boiling garlic will take down the burning sensation, it also weakens the effect the garlic will have on healing the body. . WHAT CAN LEMONS DO?

Lemon– high in vitamin C. Also rich in B vitamins and minerals. Is recognized for its ability to create an alkaline environment inside the body, which cleanses the body of harmful free radicals that are the foundation cause of most major illnesses.

ADD A LITTLE MOLASSES A.K.A. GRADMA'S COUNTRY SWEETNER Molasses– a healthy alternative to honey, white or brown sugar (which all have a high glycemic index which can spike the sugar level in the body). Molasses is the thick, dark substance produced when sugar syrup is boiled to get to its crystalline form. It has about the same caloric value as sugar and many prefer its robust flavor. It is often used in baking, particularly in gingerbread and molasses cookies. Molasses contains a variety of minerals that can boost your health in a number of ways.
