Please don’t pick your nose is a phrase that unfortunately comes out of my mouth multiple times a day. It is followed by, “Yea, and don’t eat your boogers.”
Instead, allow the Neti Pot to complete this action for you.
Join me over at the Homemakers Challenge, where I show how to make saline solution for your Neti Pot.
But the action doesn’t stop there! See how to use the Neti Pot to help rid your nose of snot and infection!
It’s got a funny name.
But it will make your kids laugh.
Tell them you are baking dinner on their feet. An Italian dinner. A rich, garlic-filled, oily, Mediterranean dinner . . . on their feet.
Instead of savory smells wafting through the house, allow GOOT to simmer its way through their delicate skin to nourish that active and perhaps over stimulated immune system.
As you stir the oil around their precious feet, watch them bubble with delight and . . . well . . . howl like a tea kettle at the silliness of mommy making dinner on their foot.
Like a Crockpot.
Overnight.
GOOT. What is it? Someone posted a a recipe for on my old food co-op Yahoo group. It’s a remedy. It’s a salve. It’s an ointment. It’s homemade. You can eat the ingredients.
I had to use it last night.
For him. Not her.
He . . . my Mr. Smiley . . . wasn’t smiling. He was coughing.
It scared me. I had to do something. As usual . . . I resorted to the kitchen after a small nudge from the Lord saying, “Remember GOOT?”
Ahhh . . . yes, Lord. Thank you, Lord.
GOOT. A little garlic, a little olive oil, a little coconut oil.
It can be used for many things . . . here is what my notes say,
This multipurpose homemade ointment can be used on insect bites, Athlete’s Foot, sores inside the mouth, ear infections, Candida, parasites, bacteria and viruses. When GOOT is rubbed into the skin, the raw garlic oil is transferred directly into the blood stream.
How did I use it last night?
I lathered GOOT all over Gabe’s feet and sealed it in with a pair of OLD socks. Likewise, I massaged it into Gabe’s chest, since that is where the coughing resided. His lungs. His gasping lungs. And allowed an old shirt to absorb the remaining oil that couldn’t possibly stay solid on his feverish body.
I’m not saying GOOT is perfect. I’m not saying it will cure your child’s cough. All I’m saying is that it helped Gabe's.
His cough significantly dissipated.
He could sleep. Peacefully.
GOOT

Though Mary Poppins thought that “just a spoonful of sugar, helps the medicine go down,” I wager that sugar might compound or worsen a sick situation.
Recently, I came across a rather unusual recipe from Cara, over at Health, Home, and Happiness.
So when Sir Honey (aptly named) woke up for the second day in a row with a frog that did not like being disturbed from his slumber in Sir Honey’s throat, I decided it was time to try said unusual recipe.
Ready?

Voila! You are supposed to be well instantly. Not really. But the claim has been made that it does work quickly.
Just ask Sarah. I think she felt better the next day.
Seriously.
