How to prepare garlic oil
To prepare garlic oil you will need:
- 1 head of healthy garlic

First peel the garlic and slice it. Then place it into a glass container and pour in oil so that the garlic is completely submerged. Close the container and place it in a dark, cool place. Let the oil stand for one week, stirring the container’s contents regularly.
After a week, use the prepared garlic oil as follows: Mix 1 teaspoon of garlic oil with 1 teaspoon of honey and 1 teaspoon of lemon juice. Take this drink three times a day, always half an hour before meals. It helps against shortness of breath and spasms of the cerebral blood vessels.
Use of garlic oil for colds
If you have a runny nose or other cold symptoms, garlic oil can help. Crush 1 large or 2 medium cloves of garlic, place them into a glass container and add 100 ml of corn oil. Let the mixture stand for 3 to 6 days in a dark place. Then put 2 drops of garlic oil into each nostril. This procedure is also effective for tonsillitis, where we recommend regularly applying the oil to the inflamed areas.
Use for arthritis, psoriasis and other problems
Garlic oil is also suitable for external use in various skin diseases and inflammations. It helps, for example, with arthritis, psoriasis, lupus, muscle sprains (rubbing, compresses), and also with rashes, itching of the genital organs or burns.
For internal use, garlic oil is recommended for headaches, cardiac cramps, shortness of breath, hypertension or arrhythmia.
Garlic oil for ear, throat and nose inflammations
If you suffer from inflammations of the ears, throat or nose, garlic oil is very effective. Peel 2 heads of garlic, finely chop and crush them. Put this mass into a glass container and add half a cup of vegetable oil. Mix the mixture thoroughly and let it stand in direct sunlight for 10 days. Stir the container 2–3 times daily. After 10 days, strain the mixture through cheesecloth and add a few drops of glycerin. Pour the finished oil into a dark glass bottle and close it. Store in the refrigerator and use within 2.5 months. Before use it is recommended to warm the oil to 35 °C in a water bath. Use 1 teaspoon.
Garlic ointment for skin problems
For the treatment of skin diseases, wounds or trophic ulcers you can prepare a garlic ointment. Thoroughly wash the cloves from 1 head of garlic, finely chop them and place them in an enameled pot. Pour in 2 cups of boiling water and simmer until the volume of water is reduced by half. Then strain the mixture, add 3/4 cup of hot vegetable oil and slowly pour in melted beeswax to achieve a consistency similar to sour cream. This ointment is ready for use.
Support in treatment of tongue cancer
Garlic oil may also help support the treatment of tongue cancer. Take 1 tablespoon of garlic oil, put it in your mouth and hold it there without swallowing for 10–20 minutes. The oil will begin to thicken and gradually become liquid. Then spit it out and thoroughly rinse your mouth with a garlic decoction (pour 3 cloves of garlic into 1 liter of boiling water and simmer covered for 4–6 hours). Repeat this procedure 3–4 times a day.
Garlic oil for cleaning blood vessels
To clean blood vessels and normalize metabolism, prepare a mixture of garlic and sunflower oil. Measure 250 g of peeled garlic and grind it into a fine mash. Mix this mass in a glass container with 250 ml of sunflower oil and let the mixture stand for 3 days on the bottom shelf of the refrigerator. Then add 250 g of crushed barley groats and mix everything thoroughly. Let the mixture remain in the refrigerator for another 3 days. Take 1–2 teaspoons daily before meals until the mixture is used up.
