Method 1: Whole Clove Under the Pillow
- Peel one or two cloves of garlic.
- Place them under your pillow or in a small breathable pouch beside it.
- Replace the cloves every few days for freshness.
Method 2: Garlic on the Nightstand
- Place a small bowl with 1–2 peeled cloves on your nightstand or at the head of your bed.
- Optional: Crush the cloves slightly to release more aroma.
Method 3: Hanging Garlic
- Hang a small bunch of garlic near your headboard if you enjoy rustic, natural decor.
- This is especially useful if you’re using garlic more for spiritual or insect-repelling purposes.
⚠️ Any Downsides?
Garlic has a strong smell, and not everyone enjoys it. If you or someone you share a bed with is sensitive to smells, this method might not be ideal. Also, crushed garlic can stain sheets or pillows if not properly contained, so use care when placing it directly under or near your bedding.
✅ Final Thoughts
Placing garlic at the head of your bed may seem strange at first, but this age-old tradition has surprising benefits. From helping you breathe easier and sleep deeper, to warding off insects and bad energy, garlic continues to prove itself as a powerful and multi-purpose natural remedy.
So the next time you’re struggling with a restless night or just want some extra protection — try sleeping with garlic by your side. Your body, mind, and spirit might thank you for it.
