If you're sick, try harnessing the healing powers of raw garlic and turmeric to boost your immune system and help you get better faster. You can also have it daily to help keep your immune system strong and potentially decrease your chance of getting sick in the first place.
Be sure to rest the garlic for 15 minutes after you mince or press it to produce maximum positive effects.
