Does anybody have any they would like to share?
Here are some of mine:
Whenever my grandmother had leg cramps, she would wrap her leg very tightly in saran wrap. It worked like a charm.
If your hair is greying at the roots and you don't have time to dye it, rub ground coffee (of course only for brunettes) into the roots. They will cover up enough grey untill you have time to get your hair done.
Itching like crazy? Take out the vinegar and pour on itchy spots. You might smell bad, but at least the itching stops.
I know their are a lot more, but my brain how ceased to recall any more at this time.
How about yours?
THANKS :)

My grandpa used the hot toddy for colds remedy, whiskey, sugar, cinnamon and hot water. Since he babysat me it either cured me or quieted me down hehe. My husband believes in bacon on a wound to draw the infection out. Then there is the hot bottle method to draw out the center of a boil you heat it up and center it over the boil and the vaccum formed sucks out the gooky stuff. My mothere believes in salt water as a cure for sinus infectrions you snort it up your nose, sore throats, sores on the body you soak them in it. Oh then there is the old sugar and onion syrup yes you get a small onion, boil it in a little water with about a cup of sugar and it is a great cough syrup. per a greek frieind of mine.Oh and about the potatoe yuk deb
I heard of a woman who put a potato in her lady parts to hold up a prolapsed uterus, but the problem is she lived so far from a doctor, she sprouted a vine coming out of her lady parts... Geez...
also, there was a woman who got a script from her doctor for lady partsl suppositories for a yeast infection. the doctor tells her to take all of the medication and return in a week. She goes back in a week with a raging yeasy infection, and the doctor asks her if she took all of the medication.. she said yes, but they were very hard to CHEW!! This is a true story, shows the inpertance of patient education.... (Hummm.........)
