Homestead Happenings

Here is how you make it: Gather 3 tablespoons of finely chopped garlic, 3 tablespoons of coconut oil and 3 tablespoons of olive oil. In addition to the anti-infective/anti-fungal/anti-parasite properties of the garlic, the coconut oil is also anti-microbial. I combine these using a stick blender. Stick blenders are easier to clean.  Blend at slow speed, then at high for two minutes. Pour the mixture through a screen to remove chunks of garlic that the blender may have missed (I skip this step). Pour into a glass wide-mouthed jar and label and store in the refrigerator. After an hour in the refrigerator, it turns into a thick, soft paste.  If you leave it out on a hot day it will separate.  I just shake it well and put it back in the refrigerator. 

Goot stays at full strength for only 2 weeks.  I usually make it when needed. Make sure you lable the jar with the date you made it or you will forget.  Goot is not bad for you after 2 weeks but it will not be as strong and therefore will not work as well.

This was written on the source site where I found the goot recipe:
I always take this with me when traveling — especially camping! Insect bites and rashes literally disappear when GOOT is applied. Rubbed into the skin, GOOT transfers raw garlic oil directly into the blood stream. Apply to the feet of children or infants to fight infections. Rub on chest for chest colds, pneumonia or rub into nostrils for sinus infections. Applied to the nostrils will help clear congestion. Apply directly to sores inside the mouth. Rub on Athlete’s foot or genital area for jock itch. Can be inserted as needed for yeast or other related infections. Place on cotton swab for ear infections. GOOT kills Candida, parasites, bad bacteria and virus by direct application. Systemic infections can be treated by absorption through the skin into the blood supply, traveling throughout the body.
