What can you cook?
Garlic husk is used in the preparation of various decoctions and tinctures that help in various situations to maintain health.
Tincture medicinal
One of the most popular garlic husk remedies is tincture of vodka. It helps with rheumatic pains, can be used as a lotion for wiping the face and reduces cholesterol levels.
Cooking does not take much time. Collect, rinse and dry the raw materials well. Per 100 grams of husk will need half a liter of vodka. Fill and put in a dark place for 10 days. During this period, do not forget to periodically shake the mixture.
Measure 15-20 drops of the tincture with a pipette and dilute them in 50 ml of pure boiled water. A course treatment is recommended, that is, after 30 days of therapy, a one-month break is taken. Note that this tool contains alcohol, so do not use it before going to get behind the wheel or go for a blood test.
Prevention of acute respiratory infections and raising the tone
For the preparation of medicinal drugs will need only a handful of husk in a glass of boiling water (90 degrees). Combine these two simple ingredients and leave for 8 hours under the lid. The broth should be filtered and drink one glass a day after meals.
After the 10-day course, you will feel a surge of strength and you will notice that you have become less tired. In the cold season, such a cocktail will help to avoid infection and increase immunity.
Pressure drop
The teeth themselves also have useful properties, so for this recipe we will use the garlic head entirely. After all, combining their beneficial properties, we will provide a more reliable and widespread therapy. Separate the teeth from the stem, but do not remove the husks. Then we do everything in the same way as described in the prescription drug tinctures. Drink 2 times a day in diluted form (50 ml of water for 10-20 drops of tincture).
From cough
In this case, we will conduct inhalation with garlic. This method cleans the lungs most effectively. It is inhalation that most doctors prescribe, since in this case, the penetration of beneficial and medicinal substances directly to the site of inflammation is ensured.
For the procedure, we need a cast iron pan. Put it on fire and throw clean garlic peel. It should change its color to almost brown. When you notice smoke, turn down the fire to a minimum and begin the procedure. Bend over a frying pan and cover your head with a towel, as with popular inhalation with potatoes.
Treatment should be continued for 7 days, even if the cough has receded. It will be enough one procedure per day.
For skin diseases
Acne, inflammation and other skin troubles require immediate action. To prevent the spread of inflammation and get rid of existing problems, you can topically apply a decoction of garlic peel. The same composition is recommended for spraying hair and scalp.It will help to quickly clear the head of dandruff and improve the condition of the hair.
After complete drying of the husk, grind it into flour. To do this, the raw material must be very dry, otherwise crush it to the desired fraction will not work. Pour 1 tsp. powder 500 ml of water and put on a slow fire. Boil for at least 15 minutes, remove for 12 hours to insist. It is well to add means when taking a bath, then soft, but effective impact on all affected areas is provided.
To clean the vessels
A decoction of garlic peel for cleaning vessels is recommended to use 100 ml 3 times a day. Since in this case the tool is used for therapeutic purposes, the course should be 1 month, after which a break in 3 - 4 months should be taken. This approach will ensure maximum results and will not be used to the remedy (as is well known, this reduces the effectiveness of any drug by several times).
Preparing a decoction of 3 tbsp. l husks and liters of boiled water at room temperature. Prepare a water bath and put there a jar of broth. Hold for about 15 minutes, not allowing to boil. Infuse after a water bath for 3 hours, strain through gauze folded in 4 layers.
Rejuvenation
Tibetan monks, who are not known to recognize traditional medicine, used this way of renewing their own bodies. Today, you can try out the effect of the elixir, which prolongs youth, because to make it you need only garlic and alcohol. Take 40 grams of garlic, separate the cloves and leave only one layer of husk, grind everything and pour 200 ml of alcohol. Insist in a dark place for 5 days.
It will be necessary to apply an elixir in the morning, in the afternoon and in the evening. But do not be afraid that it is alcoholic, since the dosage is very small. It should start as follows: in the morning - 1 drop, in the afternoon - 2 drops, in the evening - 3 drops. The next day, increase each single dose by one drop and continue to operate according to this scheme until the evening dose reaches 25 drops. From this point on, leave the dosage unchanged, the course lasts until all 200 ml of tincture is drunk.
