and he seemed to be better this morning, plus his room smelled like garlic (which is far better than stinky diaper)! glad to hear that this is a tried and true method.

Probably the oil carries it.

hi pence,

i hope that your baby gets better.

i've been using raw garlic for years, it always does the job!

i peel it, cut just the right size, *don't want it gettin' stuck!*, and puncture it a few times. then place it in my ear, and let it sit their for awhile.

*garlic oil w/ mullen also works well*.

it's always great when you have a yeast infection, too. i'll use it the same way, and keep it up their for 24 hours, *or until my body let's it go*.

keep rockin' the garlic ladies.

love,

dc

my mama did this with the hot salt sock treatment: first the garlic, then a sock with heated sea salt inside. iodized salt is not right. she also made garlic oil (with olive oil) to drop on there. I see now you can buy garlic oil at the health food store.

It totally works. This, and massaging below the ear, cleared up DS's reccurring ear infections IMEEDIATELY.

or what I thought was,I used Herbs For Kids' garlic & willow oil. Soaked a cotton ball and put it in my ear at night. Cleared up in about 2 days.

put it through a garlic press (ironically) and a few drops of the juice in the ear. magic. i wouldn't put it past garlic to work like you described though.

never doubt the healing power of garlic. I have nipped so many infections in th ebud with raw garlic I can't even count 'em. When I was a kid I had a staph infection, cured with garlic. Mastitis, knocked down with garlic, pneumonia can't even stand up to garlic. I have thought of getting a tatoo of a garlic bulb I believe in garlic that much.
