Here are some more words of wisdom from my grandmother! Love you Grams!! :)
Bug bites - so.... my mother always used ammonia for bug bites. I have always used vinegar. Either way... they both relieve the sting and draw out the poison. Dab either on a cotton ball and wipe over the bite within the first 10 minutes of being bitten. For the next 10 minutes, each time you get the urge to itch it, wipe again with cotton ball. You won't even see the bite after about 20 minutes.
Bugs / Mosquitoes - so, two things here. If you love bananas in the spring and summer, but find you are dessert for mosquitoes every time you go outside, your bananas may be the problem. Eucalyptus oil and lemongrass oil are natural pesticides - I have a 32 oz spray bottle that is filled with water and 40 drops of eucalyptus oil and 15 drops of lemongrass oil. I spray around all my openings about once a month. If you spray it on yourself before going outside, you will not have issues with getting bitten.
Mosquito repellent - mosquitoes don't like onion and garlic. There is a natural mix you can buy online that if spread on your yard will repell mosquitoes. You need to respread about once every three weeks.
Bronchitis - Mustard is a warming spice that aids in breaking up and healing bronchitis. Take 1 tsp mustard powder and mix with 1 C flour. Add enough hot water to make a paste of the mixture. Put on an old Tshirt that you don't mind never using again. Paint the paste on the Tshirt (never apply to skin directly as it will burn your skin) over the middle of your chest. Do not put any of the paste near your sensitive areas. Cover the area with plastic wrap and put a hot moist towel over it. Let sit for a max of 15 minutes.
Sty - Immediately rub with a gold ring (must contain at least 14k gold). This will reduce the length of time associated with the sty - especially if you catch it immediately.
Sore Throat - Green tea, lemon, honey - best mix for a sore throat. The green tea has powerful antioxidants, the honey is a natural antibiotic, and the lemon helps improve the ability to absorb the antioxidants. Its acidity also helps pull off the junk on the back of your throat so the honey can coat and heal.
Gargle with colloidal silver. Colloidal silver is an AMAZING natural antibiotic. It can be used for ear aches, and is beneficial in healing almost any ailment there is.
Gargle with a mixture of 2 tsp apple cider vinegar in a glass of warm water. Gargle a mouthful and then spit out - repeat until the glass is empty. Repeat as often as necessary - up to once per hour.
Drink pineapple juice. There are enzymes in the juice that helps sooth and heal the throat.
Hayfever - This should be started 1 - 2 months before your allergy season begins to be 100% effective. In addition you need to use honey / honeycomb from your region - the closer to home the better. Daily, chew on a one inch square of honeycomb. Swallow the honey and continue to chew the honeycomb for about 10 - 15 minutes. Discard the honeycomb.
Fever - Please remember that fevers usually have a purpose! Not all fevers should be brought down. However, if you need a natural fever breaker a nice cool glass of FRESH made lemonade.
