I heard, it is a super medicine against Cold and Flu?
Yes, you are right. Upon feeling as if you are getting sick, start eating the cloves.
Remember to Apologize to your loved ones for the breathe!
Aim for eating about 4-6 on the first day of your illness, then as needed in the following days. It only takes about 2-3 days to fully knock a flu out of the system.If you catch you illness early enough or are just looking for a slight immunity boost, rather than eating the cloves, you can make a tea with fresh ginger, a teaspoon or 2 of raw apple cider vinegar, a sprinkle of cayenne and a spoonful of the garlic infused honey- a less potent, but more socially acceptable treatment
Ya that’s all dandy, but I know Raw wild honey does not allow fermentation?
True, but when garlic releases the juices and moisture it reduces the anti microbial character of honey just enough to allow the good bacteria to start fermentation of garlic. This allows the garlic to mellow down and sweeten up with honey and the fermentation increases the healthy enzymes which do wonders in the body.
Is it Gluten Free?
Yes, the product is Gluten free, lactose free and GMO free.
Honey fermented garlic(HFG) is vegetarian friendly while WFG is good for Vegans.
Are there any other preservatives in the jar?
