The Most Effective Cure for Pneumonia, Bronchitis, Coughs, Colds, Ear Infections
This coconut garlic chest rub is my go-to when kids/adults have a chest cold. It works very well to boost immunity and break up mucus with colds and flu-like symptoms. I apply to my kid's chest, back, and bottom of their feet (then cover with socks). Garlic is a natural immune booster/anti-microbial and works to get rid of viruses, fungus, parasites and bacteria. The garlic is absorbed through the skin and starts going to work immediately. This rub smells like garlic. It can be used on small children and elderly.
You will need:
â 8 cloves garlic (I like chinese white), peeled and minced
â 1 cup coconut oil (liquefy it) or olive oil
â 10 drops oregano or thyme oil (optional but adds a punch to mixture)
Instructions:
Peel and mince garlic cloves. Allow to set for 25 minutes so the garlic juice is exposed to the oxygen in the air and converts to allicin (an anti-microbial compound).
Now, add minced garlic to a large coffee mug. Place mug inside of a larger pot and add water to the pot half way upto the coffee mug. Turn stove on medium heat. Add coconut oil to coffee mug and stir contents.
Leave pot on stove for one hour. Stir garlic-coconut about every 10 minutes. After one hour turn off stove and pour garlic-coconut mixture thru a strainer to remove pulp into storage container.
Allow to cool, apply to chest, back, neck, sole's of feet or anywhere on the body. Repeat every 2-3 hours until condition improves.

I am sharing this formula with EC readers. It has been around for a very long time; however, most people have never heard of it. I have used this formula myself with great results and I will guarantee you will too.

Indicated in cases of colds, asthma, diphtheria, chronic catarrh, bronchitis, pneumonia, tuberculosis, malaria, worms, epilepsy, high blood pressure (take the oil of garlic), whooping cough, dropsy, fevers, gas, dyspepsia, hardening of the arteries, thyriod hypo-function, sinusitis, nerve depletion, and promotes the elimination and expectoration of phlegm and mucus. Garlic should not be eaten in any form if there is inflammation of the stomach and or bowels. – Medicinal Value of Natural Foods by Dr. W.H. Graves (D.C.)
Garlic has a beneficial effect on the lymphatic system, aiding in the elimination of noxious waste matter in the body, having the tendency to increase body-odor until such waste has been sufficiently eliminated. It is a valuable cleaner of the mucous membranes, particularly the lungs, the sinuses, the nose and the throat. For this reason it is a valuable food in pulmonary conditions, asthma, etc…
