First, I’ll say this IS my favorite remedy for nearly everything…with food poisoning and intestinal distress being the the notable exceptions for obvious reasons. Garlic is antiviral, antibacterial and antifungal. So all of your bases are covered when your little (and big ones) start a new school year and suddenly spend the first 3 months with a new ailment every other week! When my oldest was little, we had many tears while I “strongly encouraged” him to eat raw garlic on a spoonful of honey. He was usually a good sport but fortunately I found a version of this recipe in a book by Aviva Romm, MD and Midwife by the time he was in kindergarten.
Main Ingredients
4 – 8 cloves organic garlic, minced
1 organic lemon, scrubbed and sliced
1/4 cup honey, more or less to taste
