Relieve Bug and Chigger Bites

Wed, 07 Oct 2009 00:00:00 EDT

We use plantain leaves straight out of the yard for bug bites and infected wounds. We bring it inside, rinse it off, roll it up and mash it a little to get it juicy. Then we apply it directly to the area and hold it on there with a bandaid. We usually do this at night and by morning the redness and puss is gone. Sometimes we do it during the day for wasp...

Stop Cold & Flu

Thu, 01 Oct 2009 00:00:00 EDT

My 82-year-old stepdad came down with a nasty bug a few weeks ago. It hit him suddenly, and within a couple of hours he was flat on his back. As soon as I heard he was sick, I went to the stove and boiled some elderberries in 2 cups of water, added some sage, alphafa and lemon grass and simmered for an hour. I let it steep covered for 2 more hours then strained...

Good-bye Athlete's Foot

Thu, 24 Sep 2009 00:00:00 EDT

My husband's case of Athlete's Foot fungus was cured by soaking his feet in a foot tub filled with white distilled vinegar deep enough to cover feet. He did this for 20 minutes over 5 consecutive nights. The house will smell like pickles for an hour or so, but this works! His Athlete's Foot has not returned, and it has been years.

Migraine Prevention

Mon, 15 Jun 2009 00:00:00 EDT

A surprisingly simple but effective way to cure a migraine headache is to drink as much water as possible (I use room temperature.) The water thins the blood and gets oxygen into the system. I've learned to 'catch' a headache approaching, and drink a half gallon of water over the course of an hour or so, which prevents the headache from even starting. (My symptoms are a low ache in the back of my...

Hayfever Relief

Wed, 30 Jul 2008 00:00:00 EDT

Hayfever Relief Chewing raw honeycomb for 15 minutes, then spitting out remaining wax, has been very helpful for my teen daughter's severe hayfever and allergies. Use the amount of a piece of chewing gum, each morning. Repeat if needed a couple times during the day. Chamomile (inhale the steam) and Nettles are also helpful.

Almost Instant Ear Infection Cure

Wed, 30 Jul 2008 00:00:00 EDT

This is a very old remedy I learned from my German neighbors. Hold a fresh cut piece of onion (or garlic) on the ear (not IN) with the cut end facing the eardrum. The fumes are very antibiotic and antiviral and will get right up into the infected ear. I have used this at least 6 or 8 times with a crying feverish child in the middle of the night, and it never has...

The idea was to take it until I had no more...
