This will probably get moved to chit chat eventually, but
Post your remedies here.


I'll start with a request:

Anyone have temporary relief for a burnt tongue? pizza definitely did not sit long enough outside of the oven.

sauerkraut juice for canker sores.

6/4/2008 1:45:05 AM

I've heard you can use milk of magnesia for a burnt tongue. I have not tried it.

6/4/2008 6:53:53 AM

i heard if your having a bad trip on shrooms to drink milk.

6/4/2008 7:00:24 AM

Don't have an alarm clock? Chug 3 glasses of water prior to going to bed....that'll wake your ass up fast...hopefully

for a sore throat, suck on a lemon slice with honey drizzled over it. my grandmother told me to do that when i was young.

most people know this, but putting tobacco on a wasp sting.

Bee sting:

Baking Soda and some water to make a paste. Cover the sting. It will help with the pain, swelling, and itching.

quick cough syrup:

tablespoon of sugar filled with as much bourbon as will fit

I've always heard this called the Indian Alarm.

And it works. Sometimes too well.

Anything wrong with your mouth and throat....gargle with warm salt water, works almost every time.

6/4/2008 3:40:18 PM

Sore Joints: Golden Raisins soaked in high quality gin, six a day
Cankor Sores: Salt Water Rinse
Sore Throat: Honey and Whiskey
Bad Headache: Rub the top of your ears in a circular motion, way better if someone else does it
Bee Sting: Tobacco
Break Out: Tooth paste
Tooth Pain: Whiskey (on the tooth)
Whiter Teeth: Hydrogen Peroxide

6/4/2008 4:19:26 PM

soy sauce on a burn....my mom read it in the people's pharmacy the other month, and i tried it, and it worked

6/4/2008 4:28:48 PM

Whenever my mother thinks that she may have eaten something bad, she drinks vinegar water.

My younger brother swears that Oregano Oil will cure anything.

Warts: sleep with a slice of eggplant on the wart nightly until it goes away

6/4/2008 5:54:57 PM

sunburn? Put vinegar on the sunburn, you might end up smelling odd but at least you won't peel!

also for ant bites put meat tenderizer on them, the baking soda and water paste also works to remove the sting

myth busters proved that was bullshit... none of the "home remedies" worked at all

6/4/2008 9:11:06 PM

I had a great uncle who swore by gargling with vinegar for a sore throat. I tried it, but with no luck. Sipping brandy seems to help, though. Also my wife's grandmother makes what she calls "Granny Salve" which is half and half camphor and vaseline or lard. Her whole family uses it on all kinds of cuts, etc...

And if it doesn't work I heard eating black sesame seeds helps with bed wetting.

whiskey and honey, mixed 1:1, makes a good cough syrup.

6/5/2008 12:22:21 AM

Put meat tenderizer on a bee sting. The pain goes away almost immediately. I have personally done this and know it works.

6/6/2008 9:03:31 AM

on everything

6/6/2008 9:05:45 AM

Whisky. For anything.

6/6/2008 10:43:09 AM

^ along those lines, i keep a flask of my grandmother's apricot brandy by the bed when i have a sore throat...it soothes so much better than anything else...wake up every 2-3 hours, take a tiny swig, and sleep great

6/6/2008 3:50:07 PM

haha. my dad made me do this when i was little.

if you have a low fever (dont suggest this if it's high)
go outside and sprint for 1/4-1/2 mile.
walk back.

most of the time it would completely break my fever right then and there.

mosquito bites?

6/12/2008 11:29:10 AM

^ Apparently, Windex, deodorant, making an X on it with your fingernail ... http://www.answerbag.com/q_view/189325

I, however, prefer

6/12/2008 11:43:01 AM

Walls, rub it with rubbing alcohol and let it dry. Apply a piece of scotch tape on it and let it sit there for a while. For some reason, the adhesive draws out the poison or whatever.

6/12/2008 11:43:51 AM

mosquitos have poison?
i thought the itch was just a histamine reaction.
