Garlic and honey may seem like odd ingredients to put together, but combining them results in an impressive immune-boosting substance that will keep your body healthy and strong.
The Benefits of Garlic:
Not only is garlic the perfect choice for adding flavor to a savory recipe, it provides a long list of health benefits thanks to its powerful antioxidant properties. Garlic contains a compound known as allicin, which has been shown to help lower cholesterol levels, prevent blood clotting, and has been shown to have anti-cancer properties and anti-microbial affects.
Garlic is low in calories, but high in nutrients, containing Manganese, Vitamin B6, Vitamin C, selenium and fiber. It’s a natural immune system booster that helps the body fight infection. One study found that a daily dose of garlic reduced the number of colds by 63%, while reducing the average length of cold symptoms by 70%
The Benefits of Raw Honey:
Raw honey is packed full of antioxidants, along with enzymes and minerals including iron, zinc, potassium, calcium, phosphorus, magnesium and selenium. In case that isn’t enough, it also contains Vitamin B6, thiamin, riboflavin, and niacin. (Commercial honey is often heavily processed, and excessive heat destroys its natural enzymes, vitamins and minerals.) But raw honey is rich in taste and has a high number of nutritional benefits. It has a healthy glycemic index that aids in better digestion.
The natural vitamins and minerals in raw honey help lower cholesterol levels. Raw honey helps to fuel the body and the mind while making it easier to maintain a healthy weight. Its antibacterial and antioxidant properties make it a great remedy for the immune system!
Here’s how to make garlic-infused honey
Ingredients
3-4 heads of garlic
1 cup of raw honey
a small jar with a lid


Directions
• Separate the heads of garlic into individual cloves.
• Don’t peel the cloves, but remove the outer layer.
• Fill the jar with the unpeeled garlic cloves.
• Slowly pour the honey over the cloves.
• Use a spoon to release any trapped air bubbles.
• Make sure the cloves are completely covered by honey, and put the lid on the jar.
• Allow the mixture to infuse for a few days, either in the fridge or at room temperature.
• Taste and enjoy!

To get the most health benefits from your garlic, always use it raw. Heat can decentralize the allicin, lessening its nutritional properties. Crushing raw garlic will help enhance the benefits of allicin. Feel free to add any supplemental herbs to your recipe, such as thyme leaves for extra flavor.
If you’re feeling under the weather, a spoonful of this mix will help to kick your illness more quickly. For a daily immune system boost, take one spoonful a day in the morning, before eating or drinking anything. You’ll start to experience more energy, and your body will be functioning at an optimal level of health. To simply enjoy this tasty mix, spread it on toast, use it in a homemade salad dressing or add it to your favorite homemade granola recipes!

In the world of home-remedies, there are dozens of natural-cures for just about everything that ails you. However, many of these deceptively ordinary remedies have been around for hundreds (if not thousands) of years and for good reason! Here are 6 of the oldest time-tested home remedies for common health concerns with scientific backing for exactly why and how they work.

1.Chicken broth to Cure the Common Cold
Fats and proteins naturally present in chicken-broth nourish your body, providing much needed calories to counter the loss of appetite that frequently afflicts us when we’re sick. The broth is also intensely hydrating, which thins out mucus to relieve congestion, helps the body to regulate temperature and facilitates the removal of toxins which would otherwise impede the healing process if left to circulate through the bloodstream.

2.Use A Damp Tea Bag to ‘Pull Out’ A Bee Sting
The tannins in tea leaves are a powerful anti-inflammatory remedy which can help to reduce swelling around a bee sting, thus making the stinger easier to remove. Simply apply a damp black tea-bag over the bee sting and leave it there until the swelling goes down. Once it does, the stinger will slide out easily.

3.Take Castor-Oil to Relieve Constipation
Castor-oil is one of the oldest household staples in the world of home remedies because it’s good for so many things. Probably the most famous of these uses is the oil’s ability to relieve constipation. Castor-oil works by stimulating contractions throughout the small and large intestines and helps to move impacted stool. The oil also prevents the intestinal walls from absorbing moisture from and dehydrating fecal matter – one of the primary causes of constipation.
For adults, the dosage is 1-2 tablespoons taken orally. For children, 1-2 teaspoons is recommended.
4.Drink Willow-Bark Tea for Aches & Pains
The drinking of willow-bark tea for pain is one natural remedy that dates back thousands of years – to the time of Hippocates Willow-bark tea works due to its high concentration of salicin which is very similar in chemical composition to the active ingredient in aspirin. As such, willow-bark tea may be consumed in place of aspirin or any other over-the-counter pain-killers to treat everything from headaches and menstrual cramps to tendonitis and arthritis.
5.Drink Ginger Ale to Cure a Sick Stomach
Ginger-root and ginger root extracts contain several natural chemicals which are known to relieve nausea by inhibiting the nervous-signals which induce vomiting and by stimulating the muscles responsible for moving materials down through the gastrointestinal-tract, thus preventing them from coming back-up the esophagus.

6.Soak Skin in Cold Milk to Heal Burns
For instant relief of a burn, try soaking the affected skin in cold-milk. The temperature of the liquid will help to stop skin from continuing to burn while simultaneously cooling away the pain. The fats and proteins in milk will also nourish your skin and help speed the healing process.
If the burned body part is small enough to fit into a container of cold-milk, you can completely submerge it for 15-minutes. Otherwise, try making a poultice by soaking a clean cloth in milk then apply it to the burn. You can also use cold yogurt for a similar effect if you find milk to be too messy or if you don’t have any on hand.
