I dunno if this is the best base to put this on but it deals with medicine so here goes my post :)

1) SALIVA: for insect bites,if your somewhere outdoors and get bitten by a few mosquitos then applying saliva on the bites calms it down for a little while-hey not all of us carry anti-mosquito stuff with us all the time do we? You have to re-apply the saliva from time to time.

2) BLACK TEA is great for hydrating you if you have had too much to drink or are thirsty-works better than water or other liquids at quenching thirst..
Also excellent if you have been out clubbing for the night to drink when you wake-up! It basically hydrates you inside and stops that annoying feeling you get when you are thirsty.

3) MIXED BERRIES-including blueberries: For an energy boost-blueberries are super-foods anyway and they work wonders!?!?

4) OLIVE OIL: Great to condition your hair and for general haircare-just put it in your hair about 1-2 hours before you shower and it will really help your hair a lot!

5) MUSTARD OIL: Excellent for the hair,great to strengthen and condition the hair and great for weak hair as it helps to make it stronger-same as olive oil-put in your hair about 1-2 hours before you shower.

6) EGG: Another excellent treatment for the hair-helps to nourish and condition and gives nutrients to it-apply to hair 1-2 hours before you shower.

7) HENNA: For the hair same as above oils and egg!

BEWARE: Dont use if you have light/blonde/grey/white hair unless you want your hair to turn a weird orange/red colour..

8) HONEY: For diabetics-believe it or not it helps keep blood sugar levels in control-and is a natural sweetner. There has been research carried out that honey helps keep blood sugar levels in control and even reduce blood sugar levels.

9) You can rub Castor oil on warts morning and night and rub around on it 20 times or so,that way it gets well worked in. Do that each and everytime you apply the oil. It should begin to disappear within a month or so sometimes sooner.



Anyone have any to add please do :)
 
Honey is just sugar. For a diabetic sugar is sugar and is not to be used as some sort of idiotic reverse-homeopathic remedy; no more than pure snake venom will cure a snakebite.
Also honey is really a nice place for bacteria that can kill people with weak immune systems.

And how bad do you smell for two hours each day?

This advice is just inane
 
I always lick my wounds and i'm still alive so yay saliva.

I'm type 1 diabetic and if I added honey to my diet it would completely mess up my carbcounting in regards to the insulin I inject so booh honey.
 
There's no such thing as a "super-food". That's a term that was invented by marketing execs as an excuse to make you pay more.

Unless of course you megadose on Vitamin C. Then it lowers blood sugar AND magically cures cancer.
 
Semi-precious stones are very effective against snakebites.

Provided they are large enough and you hit the snake before it gets to close.

Hair conditioners are "remedies"?

Knowing your approximate age I presume you will also remember when people did indeed use eggs and the like of olive oil as hair "products". (That was back when you bought olive oil at a chemists in a tiny 4 fluid ounce bottle.) People stopped using those "remedies" because the commercial hair conditioners and shampoos that came along were hell of a lot better than the eggs, olive oil and other "natural" products. Strange to see people going back to inferior products out of ideology.

For eggs to give nutrients to hair, you have to eat them. You do know approximately how the digestive system works and how hair grows, don't you? Hair is not a plant.

My mother was a ladies hairdresser. Occasionally, her customers would bring raw eggs to be rubbed into their hair before washing it. (I think hairdressers weren't allowed to have the eggs in the salon because it would have required a license to sell food, which is why customers had to bring them.)

I asked my mother about the purpose of rubbing perfectly good eggs into people's hair. Her answer was: 'It's a waste of egg. It doesn't do ****, but it keeps the customers happy, so what do I care?'
