I read a post elsewhere that you could use a bit of mother from ACV for pain relief on a cut or scrape. I tried it a couple days ago and wow! Pain was gone almost instantly! It was a little booboo, one of those annoying, painful cuts on your fingers. I was really surprised at how well it worked...until I washed my hands! :D Then the pain was back until I used some mother again.

And I was talking to MY mother today. She remembers her mother gathering those little puff ball mushrooms and saving the 'dust' from them. When my grandfather had a nasty cut, she had him soak it in soapy water for a while, patted it dry then filled the wound with that mushroom dust and wrapped a bandage over it.

I'd love to figure out exactly what kind of mushroom this is, does anyone know? I'm pretty hesitant to just go gather 'shrooms and end up poisoning myself.

The puff ball mushrooms were all over Texas. I don't know what they were called, but as a kid, they were so much fun to stomp.

Thanks for the tip!

I read that you can use a kombucha scoby for a bandaid too. :p

and raw honey is great for burns! Rather sticky, but helps the pain rather quickly!

Kombucha Scoby's aka mothers, work very well too. They are fabulous for eating up infections as well.

I just read about that last night, too. I think they said to mix some cinnamon in with it. Seems like that would add some pain, ya know?
