Old Home Remedies

I was talking with my Mom this evening about home remedies. A friend had a pimple on their back for a few months that would not heal. I told them to put a piece of fat or bacon on it, cover with a bandaid and it would draw out the infection. That is what we did when I was growing up. My Mom explained it to me. Pigs have no filltration system to rid themselves of poisons. The fat absorbs it, that is why we were commanded by God not to eat them. So the fat will draw out the poison. Anyone have any other home remedies to share? Mom also told me cherries are good for relieving gout.

The cherry tip is very true.

We use olive oil on our ears. It keeps them clean, has a healing effect, and sooths pain.

Clove oil is AWESOME for tooth aches. Instant numbing power. Some dentists still use and recommend it.

Yogurt for yeast or fungal junk. Soak, eat, bathe.. anything in yogurt. It works!

Garlic is an EXCELLENT probiotic! EXCELLENT!! You should eat some everyday or at least pop a gel cap of it!

A former pastor's wife taught me a trick for headaches... sniff vinegar. Not snort or anything, but just smell it. It does help mild headaches. Something about the acids in it being similar to the ones in aspirin?

A small slice of potato will also work for infection. Just do as you
do with the pork.

When I was a kid running barefoot I, or one of my brothers, would sometimes cut a foot on a piece of glass and my Mom would pour kerosene on it to clean it out and then bandage it. We never had an infection.
