We have been so sick this week. We live in the middle of Utah and the inversion hit for a week or so this winter… meaning sickness generally strikes. We were all fevering. Garlic Oil Ointment treatment was what we chose to turn to this time and found it to be extremely effective.
My daughter got an ear infection and possible pneumonia. We took her to the doctor who diagnosed the ear infection and asked if we wanted to do x-rays to see if she had pneumonia… either way she was prescribing antibiotics. My son got over it pretty fast but my daughter was struggling.
Antibiotics are a wonderful invention. They are however extremely over-prescribed. So I thought I would try natures medicine first to see if we could kick this cough and fever before resorting to antibiotics.
What is Garlic Oil Ointment?
This garlic oil ointment, also known as GOOT, is great for helping with bacterial or viral infections and fungus.
Coconut oil (raw, coldpressed) contains lauric acid which acts as both an antibacterial and antiviral agent.
Garlic is also well known for it’s antibacterial, antifungal, and antiviral effects.
When these are applied to the skin they get absorbed into the blood stream. The feet are a great place to start as they are known to being a path to the bloodstream.
Now don’t be suprised if you smell like dinner when using this. this ointment smells like garlic pretty strongly. If your are sick you probably won’t be leaving the house anyway, so why not right? 🙂
