Garlic, Honey and Apple Cider Vinegar: Must Have Excellent Home Remedy
This
is an excellent home remedy that you want to keep available at all
times in your home. It's great as a preventative and for maintaining
good health. There are some variations to this with the addition of
other ingredients such as ginger, or cayenne pepper. The base mixture
includes the three main ingredients of garlic, apple cider vinegar and
honey. Each of these three ingredients have individual benefits on their
own and in this mixture, a synergistic effect enhances the properties
of each.
The apple cider vinegar must be unfiltered and the honey
must be raw, unpasteurised (and preferably organic) honey for all the
benefits to be realised. One of the main reasons honey is pasteurised is
to speed up the packaging process (heating makes it flow much quicker) -
so pretty much all honeys from supermarkets will be unsuitable.
This
remedy is an immune stimulant, it lowers blood pressure as well as
cholesterol (if you are someone who still believes in that hypothesis),
it leads to fewer colds and infections, and is helpful in conditions
such as gout, arthritis, and joint aches. It is also a good tonic for
the digestive tract and benefits the skin, and is helpful in weight
loss. In short, it is beneficial for a wide range of conditions as it is
a general immune stimulant and enhancer. You can read the numerous
articles on garlic, honey and vinegar elsewhere on this site.
Ingredients
8 cloves of garlic
1 cup (200ml) of unfiltered organic apple cider vinegar
1 cup (200ml) of raw, unpasteurised honey
Instructions
Mix
all the ingredients into a blender and mix at high speed for 45-60
seconds. Alternatively, you can put the garlic in first, blend well so
it becomes fine, then mix in the honey and apple cider vinegar and blend
for another 15-20 seconds.
Then pour into a glass jar or
container (sealable) and leave in the refrigerator for five days, with
the occasional stir every day. After five days the mixture is ready.
Variations
There
are other things that can be included. You can added a small amount of
ginger (one or two inch length), you just put it in the blender with the
garlic, and some cayenne pepper (one small to medium sized pepper) can
also be added.
Dosage
The normal dosage is 2 tsp in a
glass of water, daily, first thing in the morning. The mixture is very
strong, and should not be taken directly.
