Old remedies

[BABY1]

I believe some of them were more effective than todays. Here are a few I remember

Shot of blackberry brandy for my terrible cramps

Mineral oil for being backed up

Honey for a sore throat and cough

Whisky on the gums for tooth pain

Vicks in warm milk

the best one ever...hugs and a kiss on the forehead


What are some you remember that worked?

Re: Old remedies

vinegar soaked brown paper bags wrapped around a sprain, like a sprained ankle.

casteroil to make you throw up if you are faking being sick or for whatever purpose you need

those are the only 2 that come to mind right now. i will remember more though

oh bleach or a leaf of chewing tobacco on a bee sting. i am pretty sure the gradma used bleach if grandpa wasnt around with chewing tobacco
