For years people have been treating various ailments with their own home remedies. Some of the remedies proving rather interesting.
- sore throat - wrap a dirty sock, still warm from your foot, around your throat
- nose bleed - have someone drop a cold door key down your back
- freckles - wash with stump water
I like to think that my home remedies are a little more effective, at least they work for me if I begin treating myself at the first sign of illness. That's how it usually is with home remedies, what works for one may not work for another and you have to catch it early. It saves a lot of money if I can prevent an infection and a trip to the doctor.
