We have used Garlic and Onion for several years here in the Vegmom house. Everything from helping earaches or colds, to getting rid of strange skin infections and of course tasty additions to foods.
But let me tell you, NEVER have I experienced the healing power of this Feel Better Sludge until I hinted about it yesterday.
Citrus, Garlic, and Onion all in the power of a drinkable concoction:
Drinkable I say with a puckered scrunched up face, that is! And enough garlic that the vampires will stay away from me for a life time. Luckily my meetings today allowed me to sit in the back of the room (a full table away from people).
First let me set the scene..
Kids at Veg's school have Pnuemonia, three of them to be exact. Several have the flu too. I've been around at least 10 people in the past week that are either sick or have a sick family member. Every where we go there are people sneezing, coughing and talking about there month long sick bugs.
Hubs is on his 4th week of a cough (he went the medical route), Vegkid finally got it, and we nipped it in 5 days (naturally no medicine). So when I woke up yesterday with the sniffles, as in stuffy head all over, I knew that the yuck was pending. In fact I only lasted at work for a couple hours and had to come home.
I arrived home with a full head, clogged sinuses, uncomfortable, unable to sleep and beginning to cough. I took all my normal natural stuff to get me comfortable (including a garlic capsule) and settled in to the fact that this would be a doozy, but I would kick it fast. Figured a couple days Max!
Then I remembered this recipe.. I immediately whipped up a batch and thought "What in the world am I doing" The smell alone was enough to send me running. But I knew this HAD to go down the hatch! It would work, I could feel it in my natural bones.
TBS 1 went down the hatch. Surprisingly, it stayed down, and it seemed to settle in my belly OK. I noticed after the second dose that I was drying up quickly. My head no longer stuffy and I was able to rest. In fact I fell asleep, for 3hrs! Really!!
Before the night was Over, I had a couple more doses and FELT great! Slept better last night (as in deep dreamy sleep) then I have in years!!!
I woke up with out even a thought of a sniffle, had a clear head, tons of energy and ready to face the day. I've felt great all day! Even did a workout. (although did take a couple more TBS just in case)..
No cough, no sniffles, no headache, no clogged sinuses, no sinus pressure... Gone Gone Gone!!!
TAKE THAT YOU SICK BUGS! Less than 18hrs and you are Squashed!!!
As my Mom would say "I don't want any of your business"
This Raw Vegan Sludge may taste nastier then anything I have ever experienced, but you won't hear me complain!
Nope, not one single bit!!
