Weird home Remedies and Cures

[Servinta]

I thought there was a lot of different remedies that people use to cure all sorts of aliments and I'm curios to what other people have seen or heard about.

I'll start with some that I've personally experienced.

1.When I was young I caught a stomach parasite that caused me extreme pain and the medicine to treat it was proving ineffective so my father having been a military man in his years made me take a shot of Kerosene,it worked and I'm perfectly healthy (Not dead )

2.Recently I got into some posien ivy and to stop the terrible itching I was suggested to bust open all the sores and cuts and plunge my rash covered arms into Bleach to stop the itch. (My doctor suggested a steroid cream instead.) !!!Warning this will apparently make your affected area feel like its melting!!!

My life seems to revolve around chemicals

Post one you know or have heard of.(it may just save someone a trip to the pharmacy!)

One could argue, that the IQ test is really just the "mismeasure of man"

My GP recommended the exact opposite. His opinion was that a hot drink combined with a paracetamol was a much cheaper way to achieve the same effect.

Toothpaste works for bee stings, also some kind of weed, chew it up and rub on the bee sting to relieve the pain. Ammonia (or piss if you are white trash) works for jellyfish stings.

Mayonaise? Thats a horrible idea

Honey is much better for burns.
and Vinegar treats most stings

Warm Whiskey and Honey is better than Lempsip (infact just chuck a whole cut lemon (squeeze it for effect) in a jug with honey, garlic and hot water and thats just as effective)

After you've made your tea put the hot teabag on a boil - you can drink the tea as usual

if you get a gout attack drink two letters of water and eat a box of cherries

a teaspoon of baking soda in water treats reflux and salt in warm water is a good mouthwash (for sore throats)

= > my rule of thumb is that if I can eat it, I'll try it as medicine

Oh man you don't even know how many things can be used as abortifacients.

[Nanatsu no Tsuki]

One remedy I've heard is for treating acid re-flux. Drink a cup or so of apple cider vinegar to treat it, every day. Another one is to use mayonnaise to repair damaged hair. Also, lemon juice to treat scalp problems like psoriasis and eczema.

Chinese Angelica, bitter melon, dill, aniseed, wild carrot, nutmeg, wormwood...

OH! One that I have tested and it 100% worked for me...

If you have pink eye, heat up a small little thing of milk and honey, stir well, and then drop it in your eye(s). Repeat with fresh milk and honey every couple hours. My pinkeye was gone in less than 24 hours. But it did hurt like a fucking bitch.

I however wouldn't advice people to use pennyroyal for other than oil because it is highly toxic.

I don't really fancy rubbing various household substances on my wounds based on the advice of internet strangers.

[Arcov]

Those two ideas seem awful.

I wouldn't advise anyone to use any of that to try to have an abortion. If you cannot afford an abortion, and that doesn't work, you could very easily have to give birth to a very sick or deformed baby.

Some of these remedies have been passed down from several generations. It's not about internet posters, really.

Now I'm not saying people need to try home remedies if they don't want to. Nor that they should opt for it to substitute a doctor's advice.

Not just that. None of them are a 100% accurate in terminating pregnancies. Most have a 45-50% chance of failure.

Exactly, this is just to see the many different things people use as an alternative to conventional medicine.

Also another one for pink eye is a good few drops of hand sanitizer into the eye.burns bad but works well
