I hope that the going is good wherever you are in the world.
It's a very bright morning in my country with the sun shining very pleasantly and it's likely not to rain today here.
I can remember a little bit longer when I was a child that we used to go for hunting. We were using dogs during those days for hunting of some wild animals and on that particular occasion we were running after a wild rabbit.
On the process I stumbled upon a piece of broken bottle and it cut me on my uncle on the right leg.
The cut was so deep that I bled profusely.
Being on the forest and hadn't any remedy to aid the stopping of the bleeding, one of us suggested that urine can help stop bleeding.
So I tried to urinate but to my surprise nothing came out probably because of the anxiety.
One of us however helped sprinkling his urine on the affected area and soon the bleeding stopped but it was very itching.
After some minutes I was fine and I knew urine as a good blood clotting remedy from that day.
What's that weirdest remedy have you ever used and did it work for you?

@Treborika it's only if it's too weird I won't do it, there's a lot to do besides being weird.

It's interesting how unconventional remedies can sometimes work in unexpected ways. I haven't personally used any unusual remedies, but I've heard stories of people using honey for wound healing, and surprisingly, it has shown some effectiveness.

I hadn't heard of this. I can't remember any home remedies from my childhood or adulthood.
