MENUS

 

ACID REFLUX

Nothing works instantly except nutmeg from the kitchen. Take a half-teaspoon in the palm of your hand and gulp it down. It's natural and gives you that instant relief.

ANT BITES

Pour bleach over an ant bite or put Vicks on it and it will stop the festering. Vinegar - just rub over the bite and within a few minutes it stops hurting.

Ant Bites- and other stings/bites

A raw potato, finely grated, applied to a sting or bite, will reduce or remove swelling, and pulls the sting from the wound. Also works on spider bites.

BOILS

Slice a piece of potato, leaving the skin on and apply the sliced part on boil, cover with a band-aid. Do this at bedtime. The next morning it will have popped or be ready to pop. The moisture in the potato is what draws it to a head. Works every time!

BRUISES

When you get an injury that will result in the appearance of a bruise, if you will rub a bit of Arnica gel on it immediately---- NO BRUISE! The potato is one of the best all-round treatments for sprains, bruises, swelling and numerous other such injuries. Cut a raw potato and rub it on the hurt area

BURNS

For small burns: Keep an aloe vera plant growing in you home. Break a prong of the aloe vera plant off and squeeze the gelatine like juice onto the burn. It will stop the sting and heal fast.

FLU

A cup of hot ginger tea - 1 tsp ginger dissolved in a 8 oz cup - 3 times in the same day. It'll banish the flu entirely, no waiting. The tea has to be drank hot though, lukewarm isn't hot enough. Add lemon juice and honey to make it taste better!

THE MOTHER AND FATHER OF A FLU

Crush 3 cloves of Garlic into a glass, put in one large spoon of real honey (not that blended stuff that pours from the jar) Irish heather honey or Manuka honey is best, grate in a lump of fresh ginger then fill glass with boiling water and stir. Drink as soon as you can bear it - don't attempt to talk to anyone for a few hours !!

HICCUPS

When you have the hiccups, light a match, drop it in a glass of water and drink the water but do not swallow the match.

NAIL FUNGUS

Vicks actually works for nail fungus.... just put it on twice a day, and in a week or two it's gone!

NOSEBLEED

Vinegar will stop a nosebleed in its tracks. Just take a small sip and get it to the back of your throat, and breathe the vapours out your nose. No more nosebleeds!

SORE THROAT

A small bag of plain kitchen salt heated in the oven until very warm and cradled around a sore throat for relief.

STOMACH ACHE

For stomachache drink the juice of one whole lemon mixed with 2 tsp. of sugar. Instant cure!
