Homemade family remedies

for fungus of the toe nail? I could be wrong was it milk of magnesia (sp)?

Domestic, love the chopping wood idea. I am all for outdoors for children and adults. Cold air does not cause colds. Today parents don't allow their children to go outdoors anymore, now with christmas and all those Wii games, I am sure less outdoors. I bought my grandson a sled, I hope he uses it.

Sleds are fun. I was having my kids throw snowballs at the shed. I have a lot of good indoor activities that burn energy too (no wii needed!). We just bought a new couch a few months ago and i kept the old one for fun and games with the kids. It's amazing what you can do with an old couch, although I don't know how safe it is.

Here is a remedy for skin blemishes, toothpaste with bleach. It helps with pimple swelling and bleaches the skin so it's not so red.

Frozen cut up cucumber pieces are good for babies teething. Not all kids like it though.

hmm, the bleach and toothpaste, interesting. My poor daughter has that fungus on her big toe, and it appears even medication doesn't work and she is self conscious because she wants to wear sandles and open toe heels. But I thought I heard something about the Milk of mag. though.

Wait, the couch, the kids throws stuff at the couch outdoors?

No the couch is indoors. We climb on it, make forts with the cushions. Jump off the couch onto the cushions. I am not going to recommend it though because i don't want to get sued if somebodies kid gets hurt.. lmao! It's one of those at your own discretion type things.

you're right though, people are sue happy these days. I noticed with the recent snowstorms, only two snowmen were made by children. Back in the day when my kids were little, we had snowmen all over the place, oh and angels in the snow. What a riot..

Let me add one more thing, kinda, sorta related. If you have lung problems or on O2, do NOT use anything with petroleum jelly (Vicks) in your nostrils. It gets into your lungs and can be a REAL BIG problem. I wanted to use it because my nose gets so very dry (with O2.) There's a product called AYR that's made just for people like me. It works!

your information, and thank you. I use it for my nose. Now I don't have lung problems, but why does it cause a problem?

Thank you for sharing that, we don't want people hurting themselves. Anything else someone wants to share that is a danger to someone, let it be put on this thread.

OK I googled this & it took me to a health board. Here's one answer:
i wanted to make certain that you were told is that under NO circumstances should you EVER use anything petroleum based like vaseline in or around your nose/mouth where the O2 will contact the area,it can cause reaction burns.the two do not mix real well.just make certain that anything that you place in your nose is not petroluem based and you should be fine.just an FYI from someone who has worked with O2 for many years in EMS.hope the problem goes away for you soon

I heard Listerine one time not long ago! I have it in both BIG toes. Going to Foot Dr in Feb. A friend says they'll likely take the nails off because toe fungus is very hard to get rid of. I'd like to know where I ever got it in the first place!

I love to hear old time remedies that families have had for centuries. In our family, we had the honey and lemon for scratchy throats.

One of the remedies that is great for joint pain:
-8 yellow raisins
-2 drops of rum
~~~~let it soak it in over night
~~~~~~~~~eat it daily. Helps joint pain

Another remedy that is good for restless leg syndrome:
- a bar of Ivory soap, unwrap
-put under sheet at bottom of bed
~~~~~~~~~helps with the restlessness and I heard with cramping too.

Anyone else have remedies for colds and flu and such?

"short", the recipe is actually putting "golden" raisins in a quart jar, filling the jar to about an inch of the top w/raisins, then cover w/gin, let stand for 10 days, then take 9 (ONLY 9!) raisins a day for joint pain/arthritis, it's worked wonders for me.....
