Hecate Heal All...

Garlic honey... Strange combo but thinking about it.. garlic's antibiotic, anti-parasitic and anti fungal (and sometimes anti-social) properties combined with the antiseptic qualities of honey makes this potion one for every green medicine chest. This is a great preventative tonic and it will also work as a treatment for any coughs, colds, sinus problems, cuts and grazes.  



Ingredients
2 whole heads of garlic (as fat and organic as possible)
450gm/1pound best organic (or Manuka x10 honey
Method
1.      Peel and crush the garlic either in a mortar and pestle or stick them in a blender/food processer and give a couple of ‘pulse’ whizzes.


2.     Add two tablespoons of honey and either continue to pound (or wiz some more in the old blender) until the garlic is completely transparent
3.     Add the remaining honey and make sure to mix well
4.    Pour the garlic honey into a jar and label including the date and dosage instructions. 



Dosage:
As a tonic or preventative: ½ teaspoon daily
As a remedy: ½ teaspoon 3xdaily or if acute 6xdaily
Take directly from the spoon or dilute the honey in lemon and hot water or with fruit vinegar
Apply directly to the skin for bites, grazes and wounds
for infants rub the honey on the soles of the feet
