HANGOVERS and CONTROLLING CRAVING OF ALCOHOL
Liquor Cravings! Gold Thread mixed with Golden Seal in teas creates a violent distaste for alcoholic drinks.
A few grains of epicae (a word which is sometimes known as
ipecacuanha or ipecac) added to liquids nullifies all desire for liquors.
Consult your pharmacist.
One "old as the hills" suggestion to lessen the effects of hangovers is eating a large quantity of any member of the Cole family of vegetables (like cabbage) prepared in a acidic base before you start drinking.
That's right. Old-fashioned cole slaw prepared with vinegar is claimed to prevent a hangover!
A night of heavy drinking tends to dehydrate one's body. The
morning after, replenish water loss and possible electrolytes
imbalances by drinking plenty of fluids, include something on
the salty side like chicken soup, or canned tomato juice.
Be
careful if you have high blood pressure, kidney disease or if
you must watch your sodium intake.
If you're already into heavy drinking, many swear by Chaparral a herb found in larger health food stores in capsule form. It is reported to help detoxify one's liver and is an old Indian remedy. The garden variety vitamin B in 50 mg tablets taken before you start drinking is said to help replenish it's loss from the body due to consumption of large amount of alcohol. If you already are suffering from the symptoms of a hangover and don't mind trying something that sounds totally ridiculous, try rubbing a cut lemon under each armpit. If you want to quit drinking try sucking on a whole clove. It's known to be effective in getting rid of the urge to consume alcoholic beverages.
BATH OILS, FACIAL SCRUBS, etc.
OK, still in the kitchen? Try cutting up a big cucumber that's high in magnesium and an effective natural deodorant.
So is plain old vinegar. Its high alcohol content will destroy bacteria that causes unpleasant orders. Don't worry, that vinegar smell goes away in about twenty minutes to half an hour.
Beauty Clay from Two Ingredients!
Five tsp Fuller's Earth and 3 tsp. lemon juice. Or Bentonite (clay) and water.
Facial!
Scrub face and neck with soap in warm water, dry,
spread milk of magnesia over face and neck. Relax until it
dries thoroughly. Spread another layer of magnesia to dissolve
the first layer, remove with a damp towel. Now heat some olive
oil and apply; let this remain for five minutes; use ice cold
witch hazel, which removes the excess oil, leaving skin fresh.
This magically erases frown lines, re-awakens and preserves face
and neck indefinitely. Use twice a week; after a few treatments
you will be amazed at the transformation.
Eye Lotion!
Dissolve 6 ounces sodium tetraborate into one gallon of water.
Bath Oil!
Mix 98 parts sulfonated olive oil with 2 parts
perfume oil.
Cuticle Remover!
Thirty ounces potassium hydroxide, 5 gallons
water, 100 ounces glycerine.

Many people suggest adding a grated onion and potato to a bowl of warm water for soaking your sore hand or foot. Pro athletes use the potato trick to relive minor swelling and soreness of injured fingers.
Simply cut a large enough hole in the potato, plunge in your sore digit, and watch the starch in the potato do the trick.
Got a headache? Cut out a small piece of a regular brown paper
bag of the type you bring home the groceries in. Dip in vinegar
(white vinegar seems to work better) and place on forehead Your
minor headache should be gone shortly!
One off-beat remedy that may work at times simply requires that you flail your arms
vigorously for several minutes. Most headaches are caused by
constriction of blood vessels inside your head. By moving your
arms as described, you reduce some blood flow, and may reduce
swelling of affected vessels that give you the headache in the
first place. Stop if you feel any discomfort, increased pain or
get light-headed.
Have a leg cramp? Quick get a glass of warm drinking water. Next add two teaspoons of Apple Cider Vinegar and one teaspoon of Honey. Now drink it as quick as you can cause the quicker it gets to your belly the quicker it will stop that Cramp.
You see Apple Cider Vinegar is high in potassium and low potassium levels may cause cramping.
If you suffer from Varicose Veins, read this. It is said if you apply Apple Cider Vinegar 3 times daily directly to the vein it will disappear in a month. The vinegar smell disappears in half hour.
A small daily salad works well as does daily exercise.
Foods that are known to cause constipation include alcoholic beverages, food with refined white flour, most spicy foods, all dairy products and chocolate.
Another effective if unpleasant looking remedy is allowing a grated apple to brown, then slowly eat it. What happens is the pectin oxidizes and you're getting the same ingredient found in many over-the counter diarrhea medicines.
One of the oldest remedies for diarrhea is blackberries. Try blackberry wine, or blackberry jam. About two ounces every three hours should give relief.
A just barely ripe banana, white rice and any flavor Jell-O also provides an effective home cure that tends to work by soaking up excess water in your intestines and stops diarrhea naturally - without harsh medications.
Also try rubbing in the oil from several vitamin E capsules.
But if you drink real Cranberry Juice it will work better and quicker. It keeps the bacteria from sticking themselves to the bladder walls.
It can't be the sweet cranberry juice cocktails. It has to be 100 % Cranberry juice to work properly. Frozen Cranberry Juice Concentrate that you mix with water is good. You can sweeten it naturally with a little apple juice.
Its recommended that you drink 16 oz. per day.
Try breathing into a paper bag for a couple minutes.
Eat several antacid tablets high in calcium.
Slowly drink a large glass of water.
Last but not least
(this one always works for me.........honest! )
1 shot glass full of apple cinder vinegar Drunk right down without stopping. Usually 2 gulps. If done properly without cheating, it will work.
Also try peppermint tea, or a peeled and grated potato strained through cheesecloth, added to water. Drink slowly.
Certain fruits have enzymes that calm down the most upset stomach. Try mango, kiwi fruit, papaya or fresh pineapple.
Gas can be a problem. To relieve, try ginger or anise tea.
If
you like beans but they cause you problems try cooking them with
a few slices of potato which seems to remove the gas, and has no
affect on the taste of the beans.
To control nausea, pick up and sniff a newspaper. An ingredient
in the ink will quickly clear up that sick to stomach feeling
for many people.
Also try sucking ice cube or ice chips.
For
motion sickness try a half a teaspoon of ginger powder in a
glass of water.
Candied Ginger can be found in Asian Food Markets and is easy to take.
Ginger is more effective then the drug Dramamine and much more healthier for you.

or five hours. Your cold symptoms are reported to be to gone in
twenty four, to forty eight hours.

Your nose all stuffed up? Try eating some hot or spicy foods which should open up those blocked nasal passages and you won't have the rebound effect of taking too many nose drops!

To cure a sore throat Juice 3 pineapple rings and a 1/4 thick slice of Ginger.
They both have anti-inflammatory agents to help speed healing of a sore throat.
Influenza! Yarrow herb known as milfoil has been used with good results to stop hemorrhaging of the lungs. If the tea is taken freely at the beginning of a cold, mixed with elderberry blossoms and peppermint, and the patient remains in bed, it will break up a cold and flu within 24 hours.
For a bad cold, take a teaspoonful of Arm & Hammer soda in a glass of cold water. If
taken 15 minutes or so before a meal for 5 meals, it will banish
a cold.
If the stomach is empty, the soda passes on through it
into the intestines and kills the acid forming there. The soda
stops acid formation, which during a cold forms in the
intestines, is absorbed into the blood and filters out through
the membranes of the nose, throat, eyes and lungs.
Cayenne and eyebright teas will dry up a cold quickly.
Cream of tartar in a glass of water, one teaspoonful, will quickly banish fevers.
Ingrown toenails cause a lot of pain. This tip can work wonders! At bedtime put a lemon wedge on the sore toe and secure in place.

Trim toe nails flat do not round corners to help prevent reoccurrence.
Corns can be rubbed with castor oil or with a vitamin E capsule. Repeat daily for two weeks and you should be able to easily get rid of your corns.

Wash feet well after use to avoid staining. Repeat several times a day for a couple of weeks.
For broken nails rub with onion or garlic juice several times a day.
Try eating almonds and lots of green vegetables.

longer

ounce of camomile flowers in a piece of cheesecloth. Drop in a
gallon of water and boil for ten to fifteen minutes After you
shampoo, massage mixture into hair, rinse lightly.

popular method requires only apple cider vinegar. Rinse your
head completely with the warmed liquid. Cover your head with a

lemon juice. Leave for twenty minutes. Rinse well to remove all

Cabbage has a lot of Glutamine, which is an amino acid that heals ulcers.
Minor Wounds and Skin Ulcerations can be healed with sugar.
Granulated sugar is a disinfectant that helps kill bacteria and speed healing.
Make a ring of petroleum jelly to keep the sugar in place. Next sprinkle the sugar directly to the wound and apply the bandage.
Change the bandage twice daily.
A treatment that I used personally for skin ulcers is Triple Antibiotic Ointment. Use as directed on the tube. It was the only thing that would work for me. I tried 3 other medications at $8.00 to $20.00 a tube. Totaling 9 tubes. I thought was going to loose my leg for sure. Everyday it was getting wider and deeper.
1 tube of CVS Triple Antibiotic Ointment (any brand of Triple Antibiotic Ointment works as well) at about $4.00 and it was almost completely healed in two weeks. Half of another tube was all I used to finish the job. That was several years ago. Every scratch I get I use Triple Antibiotic Ointment and it disappears almost as quik as I got it.
