I have been using this Chicken soup recipe with lots of garlic for many years, the newspaper article has yellowed with age...think it was 1989. http://www.examiner.com/article/dr-ziment-s-prescription-chicken-soupBetter Health Todayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10434667271465851218noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5740554810920828956.post-27077405802925338042012-10-07T07:35:57.856-07:002012-10-07T07:35:57.856-07:00Thanks so much for your suggestions, Mackay Memori...Thanks so much for your suggestions, Mackay Memories!! I learned that the biggest pores in your body are in your feet, and each part of the foot corresponds to a part in the body. It makes so much sense to put garlic on the feet, since it's a natural antibiotic. I'm going to try it!<br /><br />I like the lemon juice and honey idea too. My pediatrician said that kids are not allowed cold medicine until age 6, and even then it's not recommended. So, thanks for the ideas. I love to know as many natural remedies as possible.

I agree with the other suggesstions as well. When I was young I got sick a lot. I would cough all night long and keep the family up. My mom used to crush garlic and mix with vaseline. She would rub this mixture on my feet. Then put plastic bread bags over them and then put on knee high socks. I would sleep with this on and then the congestion in my lungs would finally start to break up. She also mixed honey and lemon juice when I had a sore throat. Our neighbor who was ninety believed in this and was always giving my mom hints and tricks of the old wifes tales of how to heal sickness. <br /><br />I really believe that the more natural the remedy is (without chemicals) the better it works. Thanks for the fun topic. Karalee https://www.blogger.com/profile/03089907502243092576noreply@blogger.com
