Guest guest Posted January 23, 2005 Report Share Posted January 23, 2005 .. Is thereany way to take larger amounts of garlic while not smelling like a walking garlic bulb? I carry a small vial of peppermint oil and when I am told I smell like garlic (or I suspect I do!) I use the little dropper and put a drop or 2 of the oil on my tongue. Takes away the garlic odor immediately. An effective little trick I learned from herbalist Dr. Schulze. Gloria Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted January 23, 2005 Report Share Posted January 23, 2005 Have you tried making parsley tea and drinking that? It seems to work for some people and it works for my dogs.

And, quite strongly, I have been told. Is thereany way to take larger amounts of garlic while not smelling like a walking garlic bulb? Any counterccting de-smellifying herbs to be taken internally or some specific substance or formula to be rubbed on the skin? I hope someone has some ideas!

Guest guest Posted January 23, 2005 Report Share Posted January 23, 2005 I have only used fresh parsley...but imagine that the powdered stuff would work. I just fill a quart jar up with fresh parsley, then fill jar with boiling water. I let it sit overnight - strain and drink after warming up. It is a diarectic , so you might starting going to the bathroom more often. Anne TerriLynne wrote: Hi Anne, That's a good suggestion. I currently only have powdered parsley. I wonder if some capsules of the powdered stuff would do the same thing? TerriLynne Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However, that could take a lot of parsley. Once you quit eating the garlic, you should begin to smell better in a couple of days. You can speed this up by taking some hot baths to allow your body to do some serious sweating. Do eat some parsley though and even drink some in tea. You will be much better off using fresh though. -- Peace, love and light, Don " Quai " Eitner " Spirit sleeps in the mineral, breathes in the vegetable, dreams in the animal and wakes in man.

Guest guest Posted January 23, 2005 Report Share Posted January 23, 2005 Sounds fantastic. But was this just for garlic breath, or for that overall, exucing garlic from every pore, kind of help? It is pretty much a quick fix for garlic breath. That's the one area that seems the most offensive to other people and they stop complaining once I get rid of the breath problem. As far as clearing the garlic smell from your whole body, I don't have a remedy for that except maybe drinking lots and lots of water with fresh lemon throughout the entire day.
