I get tonsillitises frequently (every 4-6 weeks) and it usually takes 1 week to recover. I have tried prescribed antibiotics with no effect. However, after reading about garlic on this website, I gave it a shot and I was totally amazed at how fast I recover. There is a dramatic difference the following day after I take a clove of garlic soup before going to bed and I make total recovery within 3 days. With prescription antibiotics, it used to take about 1 week, including gargling every couple of hours. Even when I am ok, I take garlic soup about 2 times a week, and this is the first time ever that I have gone through winter without getting a cold!! I peel a clove of garlic and cut them in half lengthwise. Then I boil it for a couple of minutes in 1.5 cup water and add a pinch of salt, teaspoon of butter, a pinch of pepper and sprinkle with nutmeg. I take is as a soup as the garlic is soft enough to be eaten. Works wonders for me.

Hi there. I tried the garlic drink and it helped but I'm back to being stuffed up. How often do you drink this? Once a day? More than once a day? Suggestions?

Bkag,

When I am using garlic to fight infection, I try to give it at least 3-4 times a day. Even every two hours is not unreasonable (during waking hours.) I continue until symptoms are gone and not returning.

Bkag, around here we drink rose hip/hibiscus tea with honey and lemon for colds and stuffed noses (and dress a bit warmer than is comfortable). We take 3-4 teas a day and it usually helps in 2 days. But then we continue 1-2 teas for a bit more so as to prevent a relapse.

So maybe you need to drink it for a few days AFTER you are all cured.
