Echincea and goldenseal for colds Rinse your hair in vinegar and water mixture to get rid of dandruff Honey and milk will help you get to sleep Fat bacon will draw out a splinter Castor oil and duct tape on a wart will get rid of it Vinegar for high blood pressure, weight loss and indigestion (2 tbs in a glass of water twice daily) Hot tea and honey for a sore throat Honey will heal and soothe cuts and scrapes Baking soda with mild soap makes a good facial scrub There's more, but my brain quit working! :)

Ginger help ease sore throat and you can also try gargling lukewarm water with salt. If you're suffering from boils, you can use potato slices soaked in warm water.

hi writeredge, Eating tomatoes can help fight against sunburn and wrinkles, eating five tablespoons of tomato paste helps skin's ability to protect against harmful UV rays. These rays can lead to premature ageing and even skin cancer. enjoy mylotting

The old folks are really good at this. And it will be useful if we can know those really good remedies. I learned from my mom that garlic can really slow down high BP. If you have sore throat you should gargle with water mixed with salt. Ginger can also help in sore throat and also can clear any hoarseness of the voice. Milk can make you sleep at night.

Baking soda in your bath water to ease skin irritations. Baking soda to remove stains from teeth. Salt in warm water to soak feet eases itch and burn of atheletes foot. Salt in warm water to reduce sores in mouth and sore throat- used like a mouth rinse Cloves rubbed on gums to reduce pain of toothache Duct tape to reduce/cure warts -used like a band-aid

Honey is good for cuts, tee tree oil good for cuts too and steams for your nose,Oregano oil is good for a lot of things I mean if I would write them all down it would take a lot of room. Eucalyptus oil is good for sinusitis too etc...

Mom and dad would tie salt in a handkerchief and warm it in a warm oven to put on my brother's ear when it hurt. One time I remember a homemade cough syrup with boiled onion and sugar. We also have done lemon and honey, or sugar with vinegar by the spoonful for coughs. Coke syrup from the pharmacy for croup. Steam tents for croup, or a closed room with the hot shower running.

my mom never did home remedies, but she always used ST 37 on us.

Well I'd like to say lavender oil to repel fleas, but found it isn't so..:( But what I do know works is citrus scent repels spiders. We were getting them pretty heavy when the nights starting getting cooler until I finally bought some citrus essential oil to add to my cleaners. So where I clean, I no longer see spiders..:)

Peppermint teas for stomache ailments, Whiskey, honey and lemon for colds. Coal oil for ticks. Iodine for tonsils.

I've kept hay fever at bay this year by drinking nettle tea. Garlic is also good for threadworm a parasitic worm that is often present in and spread by children (because when they are little they don't always wash their hands properly and are often grouped together at school).

That one I got from my grandma: a glass of warm lemon juice with honey for a sore throat. It works wonders, I drink it and the next day my throat doesn't hurt anymore. Thyme tea is also good for colds, and vinegar works really well for wounds (and mosquito bites!) too.

I learned this from my mom, whenever I had sore throat she will make me a mixture of cup of warm water, 1 tbsp. salt and vinegar. Then she will tell me to gargle it several times a day. The salt and vinegar kills the virus.

I learned to put duct tape on a plantar wart. Apparently there is an acid in some brands' adhesive that softens the wart and it heals easier. I have never actually tried that one as I have never had a plantar wart or any wart, that I can remember, for that matter. Warm cloth for ears is a god one. If there is a fever involved you have to pay special attention. I always start with a cool washcloth and if the temperature is going up, use a warm one. Hot chocolate for a sore throat is the best sore throat remedy I have ever tried. I have more, I know, but I cannot think of them off of the top of my head right now. My mom was a RNA and had all sorts of nifty little tricks.
