Immune Boost Raw Garlic Salad (sorry garlic haters)
Wanna stay healthy and alleviate symptoms of a common cold during cold and flu season, too?
A couple of days ago I started to feel my left nasal passage drip and once it hit the back of my throat, it started to sting. By the end of the night, both sides were dripping causing an “acidic” sensation onto my throat as it became more difficult to swallow and impossible to sleep. I knew I was headed for trouble for the next few days. I typically don’t get sick, but I think my immune system was low from my own negligence and too many “cheat meals” per day.
The next day I was fully clogged up with a head and chest congestion. I opted for an over-the-counter medication to alleviate the symptoms of sinus pressure, drippy nose, sneezing and slight dry cough, even though I am opposed prescription “meds”. I’m consider myself to be an alternative self-healer via natural herbs, nutrition and home remedies.
Needless to say, I remembered how garlic is a potent anti-bacterial against viral infection food. I headed straight to the local food market and purchased two large bulbs of garlic organic. I could not figure out how to ingest raw garlic without making a funny face and giving up. So, as usual, I googled raw garlic recipes. Although I didn’t find a single recipe that sounded appetizing, I ended up using my creative “foodie” instincts. I love cooked garlic in foods and the only other way I would eat it raw is with some Italian bread, but I needed to stay away from starchy foods and dairy during my detoxification process.
I ended up with a raw salad that was quite enjoyable.
After a couple of bites, I experienced a tingly and warm sensation down my throat and in my stomach, which went away shortly afterward. I’m very excited to feel much better within minutes! It opened up my nasal passages for optimum breathing capability! And my sneezing and coughing subsided significantly.

1tbsp chopped parsley
dash of dill weed
dash of salt or salt substitute
dash of pepper
**Note: This salad is very similar to a Greek salad and pretty pungent in taste, but great to help you breathe again and cure a sore throat, plus boost your immune system.
