Medicinal Pickled Garlic

  I have been making this wonderful Medicinal Pickled Garlic for years Here is the original recipe that I use. I want to share with you.

Gout Weed has a long history of medicinal use besides being cultivated for food. It was the main gout treatment.

All parts of the plant are diuretic. It has been used to also treat rheumatism, arthritis and bladder disorders. Some credit consumption of the plant, others external use in the area of the gout, such as crushing the root and holding
