Long day, long story short...after 5 ginger root baths, garlic enemas, garlic and Vit C shots, ect...his fever broke in the middle of the night. She thinks he may have strep, but the doctors tests all came back with no sign of mono, strep, or anything else...just viral.
Ginger happens to be very good for colds and fevers...it makes you sweat. It also makes a warming tea and soothes the throat and nausea. Ginger also provides superior relief from pain in swelling in arthritis patients, because it provides a powerful anti-inflammatory protection. It is a concentrated source of magnesium, vitamin B6, and potassium, as well as free-radical-scavenging manganese and copper.
I gave him garlic for infection and also for fever. The garlic enemas I only do when the fever is terribly high. He gargled all day with garlic and sea salt.
Eucalyptus rub was given to rub on his neck and chest for infection and breathing. Eucalyptus is excellent at killing strep...it is very TOXIC so it is not used internally, so only in aromatherapy here.
All that garlic chopping and boiling ginger was watering my appetite for Chicken Adobo and rice, so I went home long enough to make a huge pot and took it over to my friends.
I'm sharing the recipe for this amazing filippino dish here:
Chicken thighs/legs skinned
1 cup soy sauce
2 cups water
1/2 cup vinegar
2 bay leaves
tbs of fresh grated ginger
one tea ball of pickling spice
1 tbs of sugar
paprika
5 cloves of garlic...chopped.
Brown chicken in oil and sprinkle all pieces with paprika. Then add remaining ingredients. Simmer for 45 minutes. Remove tea ball and bay leaves before serving. Serve over rice.
Tip on garlic: to get the most health benefits from Garlic, let it sit for a minimum of five -ten minutes after chopping to allow the health-promoting allicin to form...before adding it to cooking or eating.
Tidbit about me: My dad is half Filippino. Most of my dad's family still lives in the Philippines except for his immediate family and a few uncles and an aunt.

Ginger is amazing. As is Vitamin C. And as is your outfit Aubrey :-)
Ups, sorry for not coming here often enough Aubrey. Hope everything is fine on your side, and how's the plan to make a jump across the pond? (aka to Germany).
Btw, I always love your style, you have a great sense of taste!
Get your shoes off of the couch you silly girl :D
Great blog. Glad you told of the finer root baths. Haven’t given those yet. After reading here, I will learn more of that remedy and give them.
Enemas and especially the garlic enema. Learned growing up (my mom and aunt gave enemas when one was sick) the enema is a very good home remedy to give. Especially to reduce fevers!
Was wonderful you helped her and him.
Recently when visiting a friend her 6 yo b had a late night fever. I told her of giving a cool water (not cold). His fever went down. The next morning we went to the store and got some garlic.
We gave him a garlic enema when we got home.
It was amazing! He was fine later that day.
Not only does the enema cool. It cleanses toxins out.
Blessings
Whoops. Finer root baths = ginger root baths.
Giving a cool water enema.
Sorry
For those who haven’t given an enema yet, it works!
Sorry, cannot figure out how to use my name. Guess I will figure it out. So using anonymous for now.
Wonderful blog pages you have. I thought it was only this page about you helping her sick one.
Looking around I found many wonderful other pages by you.
You should write a book (if haven't already done so) and open your own health food store. You would be great at it!
I thought I was the only mom in the world who got the bulb syringe out when one had a fever and believed in garlic.
Garlic is a super great healing herb. Always worked!
Instead of giving OTC junk and running to the ER at a nose sniffle or fever (no other symptoms or signs there to be concerned with), giving a garlic enema has saved myself and other moms a trip to the doctor and the ER.
Best, of course, to check with your doctor first.
Blessings
Hope someone is still reading this wonderful blog!
And, great pictures.
Been to many of those places you have pictures of. Miss Germany.
Enjoy reading your blog. Thanks for the information.
You and her had a very long day!
You gave him 5 ginger root baths, garlic enemas, garlic and Vit C shots, and more in one day?
Glad his fever broke in the middle of the night.
What did she think of using those natural remedies?
A friend of mine also was dealing with the same with her 7 yo b.
After giving him garlic enemas his fever broke too.
Bless you for helping her!
You told to leave the fresh garlic sitting out for 5-10 minutes.
Why?
What does that do to the garlic?
Omg! That was a long day! Wonderful he got better after given your treatments.
We like your sarcasm 😂
Hope you continue to read on here.
Next time you are on here can you tell how you prepared the 5 ginger root baths?
And the garlic enema?
For the garlic enemas did you give every few hours or once a day?
How much solution was used for the enemas?
Did you give the garlic in addition to giving the garlic enemas? Best to give the enemas at night?
A friend of mine, now moved away — lost contact with her, gave her 6 yo enemas when he had a Kate night fever. His fever also broke in the middle of the night.
I wish I would have gotten instructions from her how to prepare the garlic enema.
