Before the discovery of penicillin, no effective treatment was available for infections such as pneumonia. It wasn’t until 1928, when Alexander Fleming noticed that the “mold” growing in his petri dish was k.i.l.l.i.n.g the Staphylococcus bacteria, that penicillin came to be. However,the excessive use of antibiotics in humans and farm animals can drive drug-resistant bacteria to thrive.
Researchers from the University of Florida published in the journal Clinical Nutrition in 2012 that taking aged garlic extract reduced the severity of cold and flu symptoms. They reported that the symptoms went away faster in those who took the garlic extract than among those who didn’t.

The garlic oil ointment offers all the powerful antibacterial, antimicrobial, antiviral, antifungal and antioxidant effects of allicin, and prevents and treats various health issues.
It is a natural remedy against colds, coughs, pneumonia, ear infections, and much more. Here is how to make it at home:
Ingredients
– 5 Fresh, Peeled Garlic Cloves
– 3 Tbsp Coconut oil
– 2 Tbsp Olive oil
Instructions:
Warm the coconut oil in order to melt it, and add the olive oil. Then, crush or mince the garlic cloves, and add them to the oil mixture. Leave the ointment aside for half an hour, and then strain out the garlic. Pour the garlic oil into a suitable container or a smaller jar.
After an hour, the garlic oil ointment will turn into a thick soft paste. Raw, cold-pressed coconut oil is a rich source of lauric acid which is also a powerful antibacterial and antiviral agent.
If rubbed into the skin, this ointment will transfer raw garlic oil directly into the bloodstream.
