Default Re: Home remedies.

davet,

When i was young my mom used to give us honey mixed with bourbon for coughs. It was very nasty. A very small amount would make us gag and not want any more. I recently read that cough medicines aren't very good for you so maybe my mom was onto something there.


Another home remedy that comes to mind is for poison ivy. My bf always insists that bleach will make poison ivy disappear. I usually roll my eyes at this suggestion but I allow him to put the stinky bleach on anyway because I get desperate. (Actually it seems to help [img]/images/graemlins/tongue.gif[/img])

Another one of his weird ideas is that vinegar will turn a bad sunburn into a tan. I know I know, it's ridiculous. But it does cool off the skin.

Putting ice chips under your tongue and numbing it will get rid of nausea.

DO NOT put vinegar on a burn. My parents did that to me when I was a kid, and it was one of the few times I cried for two days straight.

Supposedly chewing gum or walking after a meal help with acid reflux.

Vinegar in your armpits to cure significant stinkiness there. It changes the pH balance the bacteria need. Get a rag or some papertowels, and use them to give your pits a good soaking. Do it every day for two or three days, and not only will any super-stink will be gone, but your pits may hardly smell at all.

Will this work on my sack?

Weird. So what were the other times you cried for 2 days straight?

Take some cigarette tobacco and mix with a little water to make a poultice. Put that mixture on a bee sting and the pain will go away almost instantly. The swelling will be gone within 10 minutes.

You obviously don't lurk on the other forums enough, otherwise you would already know that one of those puffy body scrubbers along with some body wash will cure you of your smelly sack ailments. [img]/images/graemlins/blush.gif[/img] [img]/images/graemlins/tongue.gif[/img]

I'm guessing it will sting. Some things that hurt nowhere else hurt like crazy on the sac. And vinegar is an acid after all. A little dab'll do ya, if you want to find out.
