Kelly
mention how her father would take a bit of horse manure and put
it on a sore and then tell her or her siblings to go outside and play.
Michael talked about having an aunt who would spray WD-40 on
their sores.
And
anyone who has watch My Big Fat Greek Wedding remembers the
father’s remedy of Windex that cured everything.. from killing ants
to curing sores.
So
how many do you remember from your past? I can remember a
very elderly aunt, who would give me a teaspoon of sugar and a
glass of water, to take the sugar quickly…followed quickly by the drink of water. It cured the hiccups.. And I still use it to
this day. I first try to just get over it.. and that works sometimes.. but when
it doesn’t
i bring out Aunt Em’s sugar and water combo. I also put tobacco on my kids bee sticks to take out the sting.
I also had a friend tell me that Vick will take care of any sore,
even if it has already started to get infected. Just clean it out
well, and put Vick on it… And believe it or not, it works well.
Be it a mouth sore, or a cut on the finger.
I
can remember reading a series of book a long time ago, which I
forgot the name of them, but it was about the 1920’s and 1930’s in
the Ozarks. It was information gathered I believe by college students
on how to live life. From how to cure meat, take care of hides
of the animals you kill, for coats and gloves and etc. And of
course the home remedies.. Which to most of us was a humor of
the finest kind. How to get rid of warts… take a dishrag, wash the
wart, take the dishrag and dig a hole on your neighbor’s property
and bury it. And many more funny ones.
So
what old home remedy did your parents, aunts and uncles, grandparents
have that you still use to this day… or you wouldn’t try no matter what was said?
