Samplestuff.com has informed me that garlic is not used just for adding to every single food and meal of every day to make taste delicious (wait... is that just me?), BUT can also be used for treating ear infections and general cold symptoms.

For ear infection:
Crush 1 clove of garlic in 1 tablespoon of WARM olive oil (not hot!) and let stand for 5 minutes. Strain out the garlic, let the remaining oil cool, and put 2 drops of the oil in each ear, 3 times a day, for 3 days.

For sore throat:
Press or mince 1 clove of garlic and cover it with some honey (this will lessen the strong garlic taste). Swallow it all like a pill. Take this "pill" with some other food or water, as lots of garlic can be harsh on an empty stomach.
