The Health Benefits of Garlic Oil (GOOT) and How to Make it

January 25, 2014 By Kara 2 Comments

garlic oil health benefits

Garlic is an amazing plant.  I use garlic cloves to make garlic oil for when someone in my family gets sick.  It is truly amazing how well it works!  (See the recipe at the bottom of this post to learn how to make it!)  Right now my kids and my husband all have congestion.  We are in our new home (the Hobby Homestead) and since we recently moved in I’m out of certain homemade remedies.  Garlic oil treatment (or GOOT for short) is one of my go-to remedies.  It is easy to whip up and it is very effective.  The main way I apply it is to place a small glob on a Q-tip and place it in and around the nose.  Eventually you no longer smell the garlic but reap the benefits!  Instantly my sinuses clear and that feels amazing.  I’ve used it when I start to get a little post-nasal drip.  That seems to help clear it up before it becomes something more.  I forced my husband to use it tonight.  He was all resistant because he didn’t want to smell garlic the whole night.  Well, it’s 9 pm and he’s passed out so he must be ok!  If you try it, come back and comment about how it worked for you!

Garlic oil can be used in the following ways:

  1. Put in and around the nose to help with congestion.  THIS IS THE NUMBER ONE WAY I USE IT!
  2. Rub on the chest, neck, and ears.  Acts like a Vicks Vapor Rub.
  3. Rub on the bottoms of your feet and put socks on.  Feet are considered a direct link to the bloodstream.  As great as this sounds it also makes you smell like garlic.  My husband does not appreciate this application.  🙂
  4. This herb has been used since long time in many traditional Indian and Chinese medicines as a remedy for cold, cough, bronchitis, etc.
  5. Garlic oil has been used as a local applicant for “ring worm” (fungal dermatitis) infection of skin.
  6. In modern medicine, this exotic herb is advised as health benefiting food for its anti-microbial, anti-cancer, anti-diabetic, and immune boosting and cholesterol-lowering properties.

Health Benefits of Garlic:

  1. Strong flavored, garlic cloves contain many noteworthy phyto-nutrients, minerals, vitamins, and antioxidants that have proven health benefits. Total measured antioxidant strength (ORAC value) is 5346 µmol TE/100 g.
  2. Its bulbs contain organic thio-sulfinite compounds such as diallyl disulfide, diallyl trisulfide and allyl propyl disulfide that can form allicin by enzymatic reaction, which is activated by disruption of bulb (like crushing, cutting, etc.).
  3. Laboratory studies show that allicin reduces cholesterol production by inhibiting the HMG-CoA reductaseenzyme within the liver cells.
  4. Further, allicin also decreases blood vessel stiffness by release of nitric oxide (NO); thereby bring a reduction in the total blood pressure. It blocks platelet clot formation and has fibrinolytic action in the blood vessels, which helps decrease the overall risk from coronary artery disease (CAD), peripheral vascular diseases (PVD) and stroke.
  5. Research studies also found that consumption of garlic is associated with a possible decrease in the incidence of stomach cancer.
  6. Allicin and other essential volatile compounds also found to have anti-bacterial, anti-viral, and anti-fungal activities.
  7. Garlic is an excellent source of minerals and vitamins that are essential for optimum health. The bulbs are one of the richest sources of potassium, iron, calcium, magnesium, manganese, zinc, andselenium. Selenium is a heart-healthy mineral, and is an important cofactor for antioxidant enzymes within the body. Manganese is used by the body as a co-factor for the antioxidant enzyme, superoxide dismutase. Iron is required for red blood cell formation.
  8. It contains many flavonoid anti-oxidants like carotene beta, zea-xanthin, and vitamins like vitamin-C. Vitamin C helps the body develop resistance against infectious agents and scavenge harmful, pro-inflammatory free radicals.

Garlic cloves have amazingly high levels of vitamins and minerals. Just 100 g provides (in % of recommended daily allowance):

95% of vitamin B-6 (pyridoxine), 
52% of vitamin C, 
33% of copper, 
21% of iron, 
18% of calcium, 
26% Selenium, and 
73% of manganese 
but no cholesterol.

“People are sleepwalking through evil. They hav “People are sleepwalking through evil.

They have become so accustomed to the behavior of the dark and demonic that they hardly notice it, much less recognize if for what it is. 

So many people have dismissed the existence of evil, recoiling from the very word. 

Such arrogance is evil’s greatest asset.”
-Caroline Myss

This excerpt is powerful. Caroline continues to share more on this and what she says resonates with me and things I’ve been sharing here via FB Live and others posts. I’m also sharing over in my Telegram Channel.

When we get quiet and really listen we can see, hear, or feel the evil at work within us and within others. 

We can also see the good working to overcome it.

Every moment we get to choose.

Each small choice illuminates our next steps. Our steps create a path. 

Are you choosing a path of sleepwalking with evil or walking in faith with good?

Our privateTelegram chat group is having a zoom meetup tonight.

Michele and I are going to chat with you and share some experiences we’ve had that helped us BE THE LIGHT. ✨
You know how I talk about how God whispers to us? You know how I talk about how God whispers to us? It’s like whispers of divine inspiration, warnings, ideas, encouragement...

God: “Hey Kara, do you really think that’s a good idea?”

Me: “Hold my beer.”

God: “Kara, you’re doing it again. How did that work out for you last time?”

Me: “Hold my beer.”

God: “Kara, third strike, you’re doing it again...it keeps not working out this way...”

Me: “Hold my beer.”

God: [Throws brick to upset my plans and wake me up.]

Me: “Oh snap, what was I thinking??? Maybe it’s time to try a new approach...”

What’s a brick look like? 

For me, bricks usually show up as an illness, or some sort of physical ailment like stubbing my toe, slipping and falling etc. Sometimes it’s my laptop or phone breaking. Bricks are meant to wake us up, snap us out of the hypnotic rhythm so we can choose to pivot.

I’m seeing God throwing some boulders right now. 

I prefer whispers. Apparently the time for whispers has passed...

Don’t leave Social Media. Shift the narrative. Don’t leave Social Media.

Shift the narrative.

Flood the feed with what you WANT to see.

Post and go. 🏃🏻‍♀️🏃

I love you.
I accept you.
I see you.
You are worthy.
You are enough.
You are deserving.

We get to choose to shift the narrative.
Before you post, before you consume content; CHOOSE.

What are you feeding? 
What do you want to starve?

Starve what you don’t want, feed what you want.

Collectively we could shift everything today. 
We get to choose.
What will you decide?

We all get to make decisions about our life and we We all get to make decisions about our life and we also get to live with the consequences of our choices. 

All choices are on a journey of learning and growing—even the ones that make our journey a little harder. 

I saw that a friend made a choice I am not in alignment with—it actually triggered me emotionally quite a bit.

I didn’t comment on it, I just sat with it for a while and examined WHY I felt the way I did. It revealed a lot to me about how
I feel about choices I’ve made. It was like looking in a mirror. I’ve been there before myself.

Now, hours later, I’m at peace with my friend’s choice. I won’t make the same one but I support my friend’s right to choose their path.

I will not shame my friend.
I will not argue with my friend, what is done is done, we simply move forward from here.
I didn’t I friend or unfollow, I just digested the feelings, received the lesson and moved on. 

We all have choices to make in every moment and do the best we can with the information we have accepted. 💞

Choices have consequences and other people’s choices are not my responsibility.

Ever wonder how to pray? How to dive deep into that place where peace washes over you, where you feel cleansed, where your healing light can expand from within and touch the hearts of those you hold in prayer? 

I’m arranging a free zoom to discuss this topic with someone who has guided and helped me deeply in 2020. Comment below and I’ll make sure you’re notified when we set the date. 💞🙌🏻🙏🏻
