Ingredients:

1 clove of garlic

Method:

1. You can suck on the garlic clove or chop it up and consume it as is
2. Take 2-3 times a day

Caution: Garlic will cause unpleasant breath. Also garlic taken in excess can cause stomach problems. Do not use garlic if you are on blood thinning medication

Why it works:

Garlic has sulfur-containing volatile oil which gives it its aroma and medical properties. It is an anti-infective agent so it is able to kill the germs in the throat and soothes it.
