Natural Remedies - Share Yours...

I'm reading a book on natural remedies and I've also run across a few on websites. Do you have a natural remedy for something? Do you try to avoid prescription drugs? Share your home remedy. Here are a few that I've found.

For hiccups try a tablespoon of peanut butter. (I just used a teaspoon and it worked for me)
Castor oil - apparently works for most things (insect bites, constipation, stomach aches)
Make your own cough syrup with sugar and whiskey (I wonder if this really works or if you're just too drunk and happy to care)
Include tomato juice in your bath
Epsom salt is apparently another cure all (relaxation, sprains, bruises)
Lemon is good for fighting body fungi
Olive oil - another goody bag of fixes (hair conditioner, moisturizer)

Add your own remedy or story.

Bladder infection , cranberry juice.

Cured mine in two days.

Does take a lot though and the pills are easier.

Cranberry juice, that's a good one. The pills are easier, but I wonder sometimes if the pills are "really" good for us.

You really need to love cranberries to take the juice cure.

Cranberries are also supposed to be good for the H. pylori kind of stomach ulcers. I'm really into this and have had very good results with most of the remedies, as long as you do your homework and even take notes on what works. Black elderberry is another good remedy, especially for viruses. I had some kind of cold / sore throat bug, and after taking some black elderberry tea for a day or two, I felt a lot better. It's also sold as Sambucol (syrup and I think they have lozenges). And if you get something even worse like bird flu, kim chi (Korean sauerkraut) is supposed to be a cure. But in that case, could the cure be worse than the disease? Thanks for posting this and have a healthy one!

Cool, those are some great suggestions and I'd not heard most of them before.
