My story of Garlic’s Healing Power & Chronic Ear Infections:

I had contacted a very severe ear infection that pus was actually running out of my ear and I had throbbing pain. I have a history of chronic ear infections and I was advised by a friend to put a small piece of the garlic glove in my ear canal to heal the infection. Since I have great difficulty taking antibiotic’s I decided I would try this even though I was not convinced it would work, but I thought what do I have to lose?

Cut a small piece of garlic from a glove (make sure the piece of garlic is big enough that it will not go back into the ear canal and you can’t get it out and cut it with rounded so that you don’t have sharp edges irritating your already tender ear canal) at night before going to bed and put a band-aid on the outside of your ear so the garlic does not fall out.

I did this for about 3 nights and my ear infection was gone. I have rarely had an ear infection since, but when I feel the start of the pain or see any pus coming out of my ear I immediately use garlic glove remedy. It will be gone within 2-3 days.

I didn’t have to deal with the side effects of a prescription antibiotic, changing antibiotics trying until I could find the right one that didn’t make me sick and actually worked, and I saved quite a bit of money by not having to pay for the antibiotics or the doctors visit.

Garlic is truly an amazing herb. You can use it garlic in so many recipes to add flavor and improve your health and your families. There are many ways you can add garlic to your families daily diet and they can reap some of the health benefits that this natural food which God has put on our earth for us to use. If you prefer not to eat garlic, you can always take a garlic supplement, but make sure it is a high quality supplement without preservative, dyes or artificial ingredients.
