FAQ:
Q: Can I use powdered garlic or cloves instead?
A: Fresh ingredients are recommended for maximum potency, but in a pinch, you can use powdered forms. Just reduce the amount slightly as they are more concentrated.
Q: Is this safe for children?
A: It’s best to consult a pediatrician. Raw honey should not be given to children under 1 year old due to the risk of botulism.
Q: How does this help the immune system?
A: Garlic contains allicin, which fights bacteria and viruses. Cloves are rich in antioxidants, and honey coats the throat and contains natural enzymes that support healing.
Q: Can I take this if I’m on medication?
A: If you're on blood thinners or medications for blood pressure or diabetes, consult your doctor first—garlic and cloves can interact with certain drugs.
