| A Few Of Grandma's Remedies! | |
© By Lena Sanchez
Grandma had a third grade education but she was a smart lady
and could stretch a dollar like I have never seen since. She also
possessed the most beautiful skin and health up to the day she
decided to visit the doctor's office at the age of 90 and his
recommendation to take Aspirin or Excedrin for her arthritic pains
did her in.
She made very few visits to the doctor in her 93 years of life, which
could be her smartest move of life but I thought you might want to
know what kept her healthy and some of her remedies that were
supposedly well known in her day. Natural remedies for Asthma
she recommended;
Mix 1-teaspoon honey with ½ teaspoon cinnamon and
take at night before going to bed.
For that notoriously frequent Bladder Infection that women
seems to have she recommended;
Take a bag of fresh or frozen cranberries and boil them in
water until they fall apart. Puree, Cool and drink. Don't add
sugar but a touch of honey is okay! This remedy is also
useful for people with kidney problems.
Grandma didn't live in the time of chlorinated water therefore
had no knowledge of Eczema caused by bathing in chlorine,
so I will not tell you that her remedy will work for you if you
bathe in chlorinated water, but if you're smart and use a shower
filter and still plagued with Eczema try her remedy, what do
you have to lose?
Rub a whole nutmeg against a smooth stone slab with a little
water and make a paste. Apply on affected parts. (Note: It is
believed by some rural, old fashioned practitioners that instead
of water, one's own early morning saliva can be used for better
results.)
Headaches and almost any kind of chronic pain, which she
should have continued using, but we had reached the age of
chemical medications and everyone kept telling her to see a
doctor so she decided to see one and go with the his
recommendation without knowing that man made is never
as good as natural. Luckily there weren't any of our killer
arthritis medications at that time so the doctor told her to
take aspirin or Excedrin, which she proceeded to do and it
took her life less than three years later with gross internal
bleeding. She should have stayed with her old remedy of;
6 ounces of hot milk or hot water mixed with 2 Tablespoons
of Turmeric. Stir and drink three or four times a day for pain.
She had such inexpensive yet effective remedies and if they
worked then they should still work now. If you are looking for
natural you can't get more natural.
Wishing you health and happiness,
Lena
