Garlic’s antibiotic action is very similar to Penicillin and just as effective if taken in large enough doses but only harmful bacteria is destroyed. The problem is when taking large doses is that Garlic also cleanses the system and you may end up with a stomach ache and/or diarrhea. But you will feel the better for it afterward.
Garlic stimulates the digestive tract and is used to kill various types of worms and parasites when taken as an enema or internally. It is a very good dewormer for pregnant horses however, some parasitic nuisances may take longer.
Crush about 4 cloves to activate the antibiotic properties and mix it with some red molasses. Feed this to the soon to be mommies twice a day for three days. Do not use conventional dewormers at the same time or the horse may slip the colt.
For Yeast Infection, blend 1 clove of Garlic or 2 Garlic gel caps in 1 pint of water strain and add one or more warm pints of water and use as a douche. Do this daily until the Yeast Infection is gone.
Garlic is especially good when used with Hawthorn and Cayenne as it strengthens the Heart. In combination with Cayenne, it lowers the blood pressure. In combination with Cayenne, Ginger, Ginseng, Goldenseal and Parsley, it is used to equalize the blood pressure.
