Official Poll: What's your favorite/most useful natural remedy?

[Denim Deb]

I've used salt water for mouth sores for years.

 

[seedtrader-ss]

Comfrey for bone injuries, arnica for pain, Aloe for burns and scrapes.various homeopathic meds as needed.

This is not the same as grow & make your own, but it's what I do now, until I learn more about medicinal plants.

Dehydration - 5-6 teaspoons of sugar, 1 teaspoon of salt, dissolved in a glass of water. Sip it until gone. It forms an electrolyte solution and it really works.

Food poisoning - ACV and honey mixed half and half. 1/4 cup to 1 cup of water, sip on it. Even if you puke it up, keep drinking it. Enough will get in your system to kill the bad germs. ACV and honey is good for colds, flu, vomiting and diarrhea.

Burns-honey. Honey is very healing.

Bleeding cuts-spider web. If you get a cut and can't stop the bleeding, get a cobweb and lay in the cut. Bleeding will stop. Yes, you still have to keep cobwebs brushed down as they are extremely flammable, but leave a few. You never know when you might need them.

Bone spurs - calcium fluoride. It is one of 12 cell salts your body needs. I had a very painful heel spur, limped badly and could hardly put my foot down. I took Hylands calcium flouride, plus a cell salt consisting of all 12 combined. It took several months, but it disappeared and no more pain. Well worth it.

Bleeding diseased gums-swish with hydrogen peroxide several times a day. Spit it out.

Arthritus pain-gin and raisins. Fill a jar half full of raisins, cover with gin. Let set for several days, then take a teaspoon of raisins every day. They taste NASTY! But they reduce inflammation and pain. It might take 3 days or 3 weeks for results, but it almost always brings relief.

A woman at my church tried this. I don't know that it really helped her though.

It's not 100% for everybody, but for those that it works for, it brings great relief.

thanks @baymule I've been looking for a reason to not climb up and clean the ceiling and light fixtures. won't have to do it till I'm bleeding seriously i have read that it works. and my mom tried the raisins for her arthritis and she said it worked. i often wondered if the gin just made her not care. i sure miss that old woman
