Just found you via Homemaker by Choices blog hop. I am so excited! I dream of being more herbal savvy and more self sufficient. I will most certainly be “poking” around your site for some tips:-)
I’m so glad you found me, BeckyJo! We can learn together! 🙂
Stopping by from the barn hop. I value the use of garlic and often make a garlic tea for congested colds.
Your instructions for a poultice are great; I will try this. Thank-you for your informative post.
You’re welcome, Carol! Garlic is a wonderful way to fight sickness! I like it in food, too. 🙂
That was a great tutorial on how to make a poultice. 🙂 I absolutely love garlic and the many benefits.
Me too! I used to think it was only good for Italian food. 😉
How often do you apply the poultice?
3 times a day or so. 🙂
