Recipe Notes
- Apply to chest, back and to feet every 2-3 hours as necessary.

Is this good for babies? Mine is 8 months
Always test a spot before applying
I would always recommend testing a patch on their skin to see if there is any reaction before using. Each person is different so it’s hard to say something is safe for everyone.
Hi! Could I just a slow juicer to extract the garlic juice instead? Will it be as effective a remedy?
I would imagine so!
What’s the youngest age you would use this for?
That’s hard to answer, I would spot test on any child to make sure no reaction. I likely wouldn’t use on young babies but some people say it’s safe for all ages. I tend to err on the side of caution. Also, I’m not a doctor so I can’t really advise.
I’m using this method since my toddler 8 month old.. Now already 2 yrs still using very helpful rather then consume cough syrup…Wht I will do grill the garlic n smash it..warm it the coconut oil n mix with the garlic smash..and apply chest,throat,back,neck…and their feet.
