Ingredients
- Garlic cloves, fresh
- Distilled water
- Clean dropper bottle
How to Make It
- Peel the fresh garlic cloves and crush them with the flat side of a knife until they become a soft paste. The paste should be dark pink and release a strong aroma; this indicates the cells have been broken down and the beneficial compounds are released.
- Transfer the garlic paste into a small, clean glass bowl. Add enough distilled water to just cover the paste, stirring gently with a sterile spoon until the mixture looks uniformly milky. The milky appearance tells you the water has extracted the soluble compounds from the garlic.
- Cover the bowl with a clean cloth and let the mixture sit at room temperature for 10‑15 minutes. You should notice a faint, pleasant garlic scent intensifying; this is the cue that the extraction is occurring.
- After the steeping time, strain the liquid through a fine cheesecloth or coffee filter into a sterile container, pressing gently to extract as much liquid as possible. The filtered liquid should be clear to slightly cloudy but free of solid bits; any remaining pulp indicates incomplete straining.
- Pour the strained liquid into a clean dropper bottle. Ensure the bottle is sealed tightly to prevent contamination. The dropper should work smoothly without resistance, indicating the liquid is free of particles that could clog the tip.
- Before first use, wash your hands thoroughly, then rinse your eyes with sterile saline to remove any debris. Apply one drop of the garlic eye remedy to each eye, waiting a few seconds between drops. You should feel a mild tingling sensation, which signals the remedy is reaching the ocular surface.
- Repeat the drop application twice daily, preferably in the morning and evening, for a period of at least two weeks. Consistency is key; missing doses can reduce the potential benefit.
