Non-Medical Remedies...What are yours?

a long hot bath with lavender oil in the water (just a few drops) to help calm nerves, or peppermint oil and lavender rubbed on the temples for a headache :D

nutmeg powder with honey is good to counter stomach upsets

There are such a lot. Eyebright is good for curing conjuntivitis Comfrey or Knitbone as it's sometimes known helps bring out bruises and eases the pain from broken bones. Camomile calms the nerves, it also prevents nits but can only be used on blonde hair. Sorry can't remember any more at the minute.

i dont have any, but i want to thank the posters and you because i learn a lot from this discussion..

Ummm...gargling hot salt water is good for a sore throat...

My mom feels that a Motrin and a laxative are the cure for everything lol

Whole cloves are great for several things - throw a palm full in hot water and let steep to make a tea that's great for when you are nauseated or have a stomach bug. If you have a toothache, place a whole clove between the tooth and your cheek - or use diluted clove oil - its a natural antiseptic and a natural anesthitic (numbing thing - I know I misspelled it haha!) The oil is very strong though - so you'll want to dilute a drop in a tsp or so of olive oil before you use it on your gums...otherwise it can cause them to blister. Peppermint oil - place a drop on each temple when you have a headache. Ginger - Place a couple teaspoons in you bath water to draw out impurities and parasites - dont overdo this - ginger can burn your skin if you add to much or stay in the bath for longer than 30 minutes. Tea tree oil - great for everything LOL Cuts, scrapes, acne, athletes foot etc. Be sure to dilute if putting on delicate skin. I am not a doctor and nothing I said should be used to diagnose, treat, cure..etc etc...and I'm not responsible for the use of any suggestions LOL But I've used them all and love them all!

vinegar doesnt kill nits though it may help loosen the eggs from the hair. Sorry (been there, tried it, didnt work)

lol I am an OX

Well this is an easy one..I suffer from migrains and my husbands cousin is a chrioprater and gave me this suggestion to try and I have been doing it since. Cotton ball split in two..hottest water you can stand,wring out and place in ears,cold wash cloth compress on the back of neck. Find a quiet spot and just lay down and close your eyes. Oh and when my son got stung by a bee..cut an onion in half and place it where the sting is,it removes the stinger.
