Garlic Can Increase The Risk Of Bruising

If you read my previous post you will know that I shared a recipe for GOOT. It is a home remedy salve that has garlic in it. I do believe that it is an effective tool to help us when we need it. But, I have found that you have to use it very sparingly with infants. I used it for my 3 month old baby and by the second evening of having it in his blood stream I found noticeable bruises on the inside of his thighs. I am guessing it is from his cars eat belt. That's all I can figure.

But my point is that the bruising is from the garlic. garlic is a blood thinner. Most of the time this is a good thing. But when the blood is thin it is able to leak out of broken capillaries a lot faster. Bruising isn't usually a cause for alarm. But I still think it's a good idea to limit your use of GOOT when using it on an infant.
