any recipes for garlic syrup and/or natural decongestant?

[Guest guest]

Greetings,

My 9-month just came home from a 6-day stay at the hospital. He had pneumonia. He's feeling a lot better but is still filled with mucous and he's on antibiotics. I want to make a garlic syrup for him but all of the recipes I found contain honey. Any ideas? Also, looking for baby-friendly herbs that move mucous out of the body. He's still fully breastfed (no solids), so I'm getting mucousy foods out of my diet too and taking the herb mullein.

I solidly recommend, aside from raw vegan diet (vegan itself is crucial), echinacea in alcohol-distilled 20 drops, 3x/day, along with 1000 mg Vitamin C 3x/day. I also suggest Breathe-Easy tea from either Yogi or Traditional Medicinals, though one must be careful with ma-huang, the natural source of pseudoephedrine, which is technically a drug that stimulates and soothes the throat. I'm not sure medically if ma-huang is perfectly safe for an infant though, but the first 2 supplements I mentioned should work safely like a charm for him. May he have a speedy recovery.

 

Peace,

David

"Patriotism means to stand by the country. It does not mean to stand by the president or any other public official save exactly to the degree in which he himself stands by the country. It is patriotic to support him insofar as he efficiently serves the country. It is unpatriotic not to oppose him to the exact extent that by inefficiency or otherwise he fails in his duty to stand by the country."

--Pres. Theodore Roosevelt, 1908

Sorry, didn't finish my previous message

Chammomile is a gentle decongestent, as well as white pine tea. I was able to find white pine tea from a medicine man years ago when my daughter was a baby. It worked the best for Thelma to get rid of her congestion. I only used garlic oil as ear drops as needed for ear infections. I also used ginger poultices on the chest to eliminate congestion. I grated ginger and let it steep (not boil) for about 30 minutes than I strained it into a washcloth and put it on her chest. If it was too hot I put my hand under it. I covered it with extra towels to let the steam penetrate. I also steamed up our tiny bathroom and sat in there with Thelma as I was using the poulstice. But the white pine tea really helped.

Blessings and good health to you and your baby
