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.
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
well, upset stomaches are cause by acid usually, so anything that'll take care of acid will do the trick
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.
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.
I COME FROM A SPAISH FAMILY SO WHEN U GET A SUFFED UP NOSE EAT A HABENERO PEPPER AND THAT SHIT MAKES YOUR NOSE CLEAR **sorry for caps***
huh? y not just pour the water in a cup? y bother with a dirty rag? am i missing something? wonderingly, ALIVE
if you have a cut, like about to need stiches, you can use crazyglue to seal it if you have a burn, put mustard on it a headache a lil bit of ganja a mosquito bite, press a + into it with your nail, and leave it alone poisin ivy, or he likes, spread hair conditiner over it, and let it stay there for a few hours stuffy nose spicy foods, if your depressed, i heard this thing called graffiti helps out alot if you wont me to explain something in more detail i will, these are somethings that ive lernt growing up mostly from my mom, As a kid in cuba, you cant always go to the hospital.. PeacE
I have one. If you ever start choking on something, stretch your hands in the air as high as you can, it opens up your throat a bit so whatever it is you choked on goes down.
if you feel like shit take a couple cans of paint and do a nice tag somewhere that way once you feel better you can at least say i did that shit when i was sick.
i'm a sick fuck in the winter i'm always getting sore throats and fevers formula 31 (i think thats what its called) by vic will make your throat go numb its the best stuff every look for it in stores its orange,
Mmmmm buckleys. purfect suppliment to help cope with raveritis, i drink that shit like it's going outta style. ive found ColdFX to be really good too if you think yer coming down with a cold.
werd Oh btw, i'm curious, i thought cuba was supposed to have an incredible healthcare system, better than canada, seeing as how it's a socialist nation. You oculdn't go to the hospital often? No disrespect or anything, i'm just curious of what the system is like.
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
