Question: Is it true that sucking on garlic will help get rid of a sore throat?
I have heard of this remedy (old wives tale) before and was just wondering if anyone out there in YA has ever heard or tried this. Thanks

It'll sure as hell guarantee you don't get mono };o

Seriously, yes - it works. Garlic oil works as a mild anti-inflammatory on mucus membranes AND fights yucky bacteria. Which, as you might have guessed, means it has many uses in many places on the human body.



No that's false. it will make you smell. Try making tea with slices of fresh ginger, some honey and a few squirts from a lemon.
