BRONCHITIS

Wear the sock you wore all day around your neck at night to bed, with the foot part near the throat.
 
CHOKING: Fish bones or Hair
Swallow a raw egg.

SINUS PROBLEMS
Put garlic and a little chicken fat in a silk stocking. Then wrap that stocking around your neck.

SORE THROAT
Take a piece of bacon fat (raw) and tie a length of strong cotton around it. Hold the cotton while you swallow the bacon fat. Then pull up the bacon fat using the cotton thread. Then swallow again. Do this half a dozen times. Then take a black cashmere stocking that has been worn for a week, sprinkle the sole with eucalyptus and place that part against the throat. Wrap the rest of the stocking around the neck and pin securely. Go to bed. You will wake up with no sore throat. (Ewww!)
 
Soap and sugar as a poultice :Y:
The handle of one of these around your *** normally sorted most problems you had as a kid :eek:

Lemon juice mixed with metho left for couple of months in a sealed jar. Good for arthritis. We have some if this we use for cold sores. Not sure about the arthritis.
Best cold sore remedy is as soon as you feel it, put ice on it for 15 mins.
Just use an ice cube and replace when it melts.
It will work at any stage of the cycle.

Would that be herpes one or two or does it work on both ? The mind boggles :rolleyes:

If you have to sit through a meeting after a hard night without falling asleep in front of the boss (or the CEO of Rio Tinto :( ) squeeze orange or mandarin rind under your nose and sniff it up . Wakes up the brain fairly well as an alternative to 3 cups of coffee.

Lemon rind might work too , will try that one day.
