Home Remedies

[Havoc411]

title speaks for itsself. if you dont feel like going to a doctor or dont have the $$ to go to one, post up some things that you can use with household items that seem to help the getting better process along for anything.


i learned this one from a friend. you take 2 chairs facing the same way and drap a towel over them. then boil a big pot of water. put the boiling pot of water under the towel and chairs with some orange peels in the water and sit in the chair and just breathe it in. this makes you feel alot better if you have a cold or the sniffles. if you have a hot plate too, you can put the pot on the hotplate under the towel and chairs so it steams for longer.
heres a diagram..

[Havoc411]

i cant believe how fast kids fucked this thread up. i guess nothing thats actually helpful is appreciated by the people of BS

[toxus]

i keep getting headaches (bad ones) . any one know a good homemade/natural cure?

[The Incredible D]

just an opinion,
im not sure kids on a graff forum are going to come here for medical remedies.

but then again there a lot of threads that are alive that serve no real purpose, so whatever.

[Havoc411]

this is general discussion. its an off topic section. and this thread is actually useful

[JadedSketches]

If you have a cold starting,take ginseng,and take it all the way though your cold.Its supposed to make your cold better.Theres this canadian drug called "Cold FX" and its just crushed up ginseng in capsules.

chew on a piece of ginger root if your nose is stuffy,or spicy peppers.

Boil lemon and oranges and add honey if you have a sore throat.
I have more,but I dont remember..

Plus,all the little kids that posted and ruined this thread,if this gets closed because of you,I will be so fucking pissed,so i recommend all you fuckers to edit your gay "+1" posts.

[Havoc411]

nice update jades.

for sore throats gargling water with salt in it works, and if you get sore throats(like i do) from breathing throught your mouth at night, put a humidifier in your room, or put a pot of water on top of a radiator at night.

[JadedSketches]

All taken from Google:
Ginger Tea

* 1 inch or so fresh ginger root, sliced thin or grated
* 1/2 a fresh lemon, sliced (peel & all)
* 1 clove garlic, mashed
* ~2 c water
* Very generous spoonful honey

Place water, ginger, lemon, & garlic in saucepan; bring to boil, then turn down heat and simmer gently for 20 min. Strain into mugs and add lots of honey. The tea *will* get stronger if you let it sit! Most invigorating!

The garlic adds a bit of bitterness, but the honey masks that. This tea is very soothing to the throat and warms and opens the chest and nasal passages. Plus there are all those vitamins and other good things! I now make this tea at the first sign of a cold, which helps me fight it off. I find it more effective than the commercial hot lemon remedies, and of course cheaper!

Old Fashioned Mustard Plaster
Helps relieve chest congestion due to colds.

* 1 tbsp dry mustard
* 1/4 cup flour
* Lukewarm water

Sift together mustard and flour in a bowl. Slowly add just enough water to make a paste. Spread the plaster on a piece of muslin big enough to cover chest. Cover with another piece of muslin.

Make sure the skin is dry. Place the mustard plaster on the chest. Check frequently and discontinue if there is any kind of allergic reaction. Remove when skin begins to turn red, usually after 10-20 minutes, and don't leave on any longer than 30 minutes at a time. Then rub the chest w/ petroleum jelly to keep the heat in. Treat twice daily until congestion clears up.

NOTE: if you have sensitive skin, reduce amount of flour to 6 tbsp.

Simple Cough Syrup

* 3 tbsp lemon juice
* 1 cup honey
* 1/4 cup warm water

Combine lemon juice and honey in a bowl. Slowly stir in the water. Store in a covered jar in the refrigerator - take 1-2 tbsp as needed for cough.

To soothe a sore throat, add 1 tbsp of mixture to a cup of comfrey root, chamomile or rosemary tea.

Cranberry Soup

* 1 cup cranberries
* 2 cups water
* Honey to taste
* 1 tbsp potato starch

Heat cranberries and water together until cranberry skins open. Strain and add honey to taste. Bring mixture close to a boil, then remove from heat. In a separate bowl, mix starch with 2 tbsp cold water. Slowly add this mixture to the cranberry juice - stir vigorously.

Return mixture to heat and bring to full boil, stirring until it thickens and becomes slightly transparent. Store in refrigerator in a covered container. Serve w/ warm cream. Soothes colds, and is a good source of vitamins C and B.

Hmm,I like that cranberry one,i'll have to try that..

if u have the hik up hold ur breath for 10 seconds, if that doesnt work then i ono ur screwed

heard sumtin about makin ur own pepto bismal or i forget wat medacin it was, but it was the exacrt same thing as the medacin just wiht out the flavor so it tasted like shit i thnk its wen u got a upset stomach u take a glass of water and mix if with baking soda, i thnk thats it not sure

[Havoc411]

well, upset stomaches are cause by acid usually, so anything that'll take care of acid will do the trick

[koper]

for hangovers:

-eat bananas near the end of your drinking binge if they are around, ocne again potassium saves the day. Restores the liquid in your brain or some shit.

- 2 tylenols about 2 hours before you should be waking up, that'll prevent a hangover 9 times out of 10.

[KaOs-OneR]

When I have a soar throat I take a rag or a towel I dont need and soak it with warm water, then squeeze it out and put the juice from oranges on it. Somethign with the Vitamin C in Oranges helps it out.

Oh btw, i&#39;m curious, i thought cuba was supposed to have an incredible healthcare system, better than canada, seeing as how it&#39;s a socialist nation. You oculdn&#39;t go to the hospital often? No disrespect or anything, i&#39;m just curious of what the system is like.

[JadedSketches]

he&#39;s probabaly joking.

[Tony]

if you get canker sores (i get lots of them) put salt on them, stings like you wouldnt belive at first, but it draws liquid out of them and makes the pain and swelling go down, and gets rid of them faster...plus its pretty fun

[stigma 2k6]

[JadedSketches]

tony the herpes infested motherfucker..

For sore throats,mix echinecea,cayenne pepper,mint and garlic in boiling water.Drink it when its still warm,although it doesnt taste very good,so you can add honey if you want.

chamomile tea is also good for sore throats.

Grapefruit is also good for colds.

GINGER TEA
Peel the skin from a small ginger root. Slice the root into thin coins and place the pieces into a small pot of water. Boil the pieces to make tea. The tea should turn a yellowish (straw) or tan color. Add three tablespoons of your favorite honey to sweeten the tea. Sip the hot tea slowly. The tea gives a sharp tingle to the throat after swallowing it. After you sip it, gently clear your throat.This tea also works for trying to get your voice back after a cold.

LEMON GARGLE(cleanses your throat)
Lemon Add the juice of one lemon and one teaspoon of salt to one cup of warm water. Gargle three times a day for one minute.

POMEGRANATE Boil some pomegranate rinds and drink as a tea. The pomegranate contains astringents

THYME Make a tea by lightly crushing five fresh or dried leaves; place in a cup and fill with water cooled to just below boiling; cover and leave to infuse for five minutes; remove leaves and drink. May also be used as a gargle. Thyme has antiseptic properties.

WATER/SALT Mix a teaspoon of salt in eight ounces of quite warm water. Gargle the whole mixture several times a day. This will increase the blood supply to the area by washing away mucus and dilating capillaries, thereby enabling better circulation of infection-fighting antibodies.

fuck ur smart jade, or just a good googler?
either way, NICE&#33;

[>SM!7K<]

<_< actually no i wasnt joking, im Cuban i moved to america when i was 3 so i don&#39;t reamember much, but over there, there actually is a fantastic healthcare, with very trained and educated doctors, but there are the people that live out of the city, on there farm, and when times are rough, its hard to get a doctor to come visit you, also i lived with who we call "Wahedo" which i guess the best way to explain it is a cuban redneck, they try to fix everything themselfs, are very oldschool, and don&#39;t belive in wasting the lil bit of money they have on doctors when they can do it them selfs.

First of all I was kidding,and I didnt read your post fully.
Im sorry :(

But a good way to fight canker sores is to swish hydrogen peroxide(a capful) in your mouth for 10 seconds,or diluted peroxide in water for a minute.
Unless you have had special tooth enamel shit recently,then nevermind.
Oh and make sure its the dissinfecting peroxide,not the hair bleach kind,cause if its the hair kind,you&#39;ll have to go to the hospital. :lol:

Baking soda or salt in water and swish in your mouth 3-4 times a day.

Or you can apply a raw onion to the canker.

Drinking tea helps too,but dark tea,without milk and sugar.

;)

[JadedSketches]

Green tea is also very good for you if you drink it raw,without milk,sugar or any additives.But you can pussy out and add a little honey.
Green tea is supposed to remove many of the toxins in your body,supposed to make you live longer and its even supposed to make your shit less smelly.(im sold just on that last one) :lol:

If you dont have some at home,just ask your folks to get some when they go do the groceries,or just pick some up yourself at any grocery store.

[BRAINE]

this thread got long fast
like 4 pages in like 5 hours
if you have a hangover, chew on aspirin
but not the sugar coated kind, the gross kind
its nasty but it will help.

[JadedSketches]

it got long cause of me.. :)

[Havoc411]

anyone know anything for headaches besides ibuprofin?

[ze jickerz]

caffeine is good for haed aches...usually

so is just simply going to a dark or dim place and resting for a while

[JadedSketches]

HONEY Take two teaspoons of honey with each meal. Honey contains potassium and magnesium which will help relax the arteries and allow more blood to flow to the brain. This is very good if you feel a migraine coming on or have a hangover.

Ginger inhibits a substance called thromboxane A2 that prevents the release of substances that make blood vessels dilate. Use fresh or powdered ginger when you cook, eat crystallized ginger, or put grated fresh ginger in a drink. Ginger is useful for migraines as well as other headaches.

Menthol preparations can be helpful in relieving tension headaches. Massage the oil into the temples which will relax the temporal muscles.
Walking If you feel a headache coming on, take a brisk walk. This will relax you and your circulatory system so that more blood and oxygen can get to the brain. Your headache should disappear quickly.

Thanks for this recipe.. my version was slightly altered because of lack of resources
instead of honey i took cinnamon, and powdered ginger which kind of spoils the whole thing.. but still very good for my annoying cold

[JadedSketches]

anyone got any natural ache medecine?
I dont know why,but I hate taking tylenol or advil,just doesnt feel right.

[rolling roks]

My Familys cough syrup
half a shot glass of wiskey alittle bit of lemon juice and alittle bit of honey
mix to your own proportions
i prefer 1/2 wiskey 1/4 lemon juice 1/4 honey

rubbing alcohol on muscle aches helps the ache

but ibuprofon or a massage works good too

i like this thread too

[AVID1]

If you drink lots of water during the day you'll feel less tired/exhausted at the end of the day.

HOW TO GET RIDE OF WARTS ON YOUR HANDS/FEET/ARMS/LEGS
idk about genital warts so if your looking for that try it out

go to walmart/pharmacy/grocery store
pick a bottle of vitamen A (its got to be vitamen A) daily vitamens/supplements
take once a day until warts are gone
and if you wanna keep taking em just to be safe
i would suggest you do so
just got rid of a wart on my hand, that i have had frozen off 3 times and been through several treatments for!!!!
it'll take about 2 or 3 weeks and the wart should shrivel up and start to look like a scab and eventually fall off like one


TAH DAH!

fill the hole with suger and wait for 12/24 hours
now you just made a cold cure juice :)
it may sound nasty but trust me it doesint taste that bad if anything
its pretty good

[rolling roks]

[Atom1er]

[Buck Naked]
