Lightbulb Home Remedies.....Granny or Moma used to cure...(what?)

Okay, we all know grannies are good on wisdom and all, heaven knows my grandmoma kept me on top of herbs. Have you ever used a home remedy that helped an ill? Did moma or Granny leave you with any herb remedies or non-herb remedies that helped you or someone elses health? Also juicing....anyone know of any juicing recipies or have you used any or know some one who has.....list them and what they are for. I have more but here are a few.

My grandmoma said :

Cold Toddy
Whiskey+Honey+Lemon)or lemon juice)+vinegar = cold gone
(worked for me and my son my family uses this one)


Hair Growth
Glovers Mane + Petroleum Jelly (mix well) grew my hair and others I know that used it that had hair breakage around the edges, especially kids. This is also good for dandruff ( put on hour before wasshing). My mom used this on us as kids and I still use it. WARNING!!! the smell is not attractive, but heck, it grew my familys hair. (lol)


Sinus
Warm water+1/2 tsb of salt (dislove the salt) sniff up your nose and then let it run out (keep doing this for half a cup). This dries you up. this is good for sinus pressure as well.


and the list goes on.....if you have any questions lets ask the board too....


Disclaimer: If you have a medical condition seek medical help. These are not for all and I am not a doctor (smile). We are just sharing things that have helped us or we heard of.

My mother has done this forever. It really does work. We get little nasal squeeze bottles and fill them with the solution. The squeeze bottles get the solution further into the sinuses than what you can do for yourself.
