Garlic is not just for fun. Small uses of garlic in outdoor travel

Garlic is a condiment in our dishes, but you would never have thought that it would also play a significant role in our travels:

1. Before departure, cut garlic into small pieces and stick them on your navel, then secure them with adhesive tape or analgesic ointment. This can reduce or eliminate seasickness, motion sickness, and airsickness.

2. If the weather is hot during your travels and you unfortunately suffer from heatstroke, you can mash the garlic into juice, dilute it with cold boiled water, and then drip it into your nose. It has the effect of refreshing your brain and invigorating your spirit.

3. When diarrhea, enteritis, dysentery and other diseases are caused by unclean food, you can take a garlic head, mash it and add warm water to drink. It has a strong killing or inhibitory effect on Escherichia coli, Salmonella typhi and Shigella, and thus the therapeutic effect is significant.

4. If you accidentally eat poisonous food while traveling, you can take 3 to 5 cloves of garlic orally, which has a certain detoxification effect. Mash garlic into a paste and mix it with honey, then take it with boiled water. It has a good effect on vomiting.

5. If you are accidentally bitten by mosquitoes or centipedes while traveling and you cannot find antidote, you can crush garlic and apply it to the affected area. It has the effect of detoxification, swelling reduction and pain relief.

6. If you have a nosebleed during travel, mash the garlic into a paste and apply it to the Yongquan acupoint on the sole of your foot to stop the bleeding quickly. This method is also effective for hemoptysis and hematemesis caused by various reasons. Of course, if taking garlic produces an unpleasant odor that affects your interaction with others, you can chew a few pieces of tea leaves or hold a small piece of angelica or mint in your mouth to get rid of the bad breath.
