1. Cold Sores. Cut a clove of garlic in half and apply directly to the cold sore several times a day.
2. Acne: Slice open a clove of raw, fresh garlic and apply it to breakouts as a home remedy for acne. Your skin won’t smell terribly good, but the antibacterial properties of garlic will help lessen the appearance of acne, even those deep acne cysts that can otherwise be difficult to treat.
3: Athlete’s Foot. Garlic is a natural anti-fungal, so it’s handy for treating fungal infections like Athlete’s Foot. Crush a couple of cloves of garlic and add to warm water in a foot bath or large bowl. Soak your feet in the solution for about thirty minutes.
4: Pesticide: Whiteflies, aphids, cabbage loopers, and squash bugs. All of these creepy-crawlies and more can decimate the beautiful organic garden you’ve been tending all season. Ward them off with an all-natural garlic pesticide spray. Mince three garlic cloves and let them sit in two tablespoons of mineral oil for 24 hours. Then strain out the garlic and add the oil, along with a teaspoon of liquid dish soap, to a pint of water in a spray bottle. Spray on infested plants.
5: Ear Infections. According to folklore, garlic can kill the bacteria that causes ear infections. Crush a clove of garlic and put it into a teaspoon full of hot oil. Leave for five minutes then strain and allow to cool. Drip a few drops of oil into your ear canal. Be careful with this one as your ears are very sensitive and can easily be damaged.
6: Sore Throats and Coughs. Garlic can ease inflammation in the throat and clear up excess mucus. Mince up some garlic cloves and soak them in hot water. Leave for about five minutes then strain and drink the liquid as a tea.
7: Cold and Flu Prevention. Eating at least two cloves of raw garlic every day can help you to maintain good health and prevent you from picking up a nasty cold or flu bug.
8: Mosquito Repellent. Mince up a few cloves of garlic and add to a tablespoon of mineral oil. Leave for twenty-four hours, strain and add to two cups of water and a teaspoon of lemon juice. Put into a spray bottle.
