Grapefruit Seed Extract!
I am so excited about the many uses of grapefruit seed extract! I've been using it for years, in pill form, for it's anti-bacterial, anti-fungal properties. I've read that it is as powerful as an anti-biotic. Doctors recommend that it not be taken in conjunction with certain medications. I have found that it curbs sugar cravings, and helps to shorten the duration of illnesses. I also use the liquid form to wash fruits and veggies.
Last year, when I had a cold that I couldn't shake, a friend gave me a grapefruit seed extract nasal spray. After one use, my nose was back to normal. Since then, I squirt it up my kid's noses when they start to get the sniffles, and it nips colds in the bud.
Today, much to my great joy, I read that, if properly diluted, it can be applied topically to sore throats, mouth sores, and even warts and acne! One of my children had a sore throat this morning. I put two drops in a glass of warm water, she drank it down, and her throat didn't bother her until dinner time. If this is new to you, it may be worth some research!
