Mustard Plaster - BY JOHN S
Hi, here's an old fashioned remedy that I use to relieve my arthritis pains. I make what you call a mustard plaster. To do this you need to mix together 2 parts flour with 1 part mustard powder, then add some water to make a paste. Spread it on a clean cloth of some sort, fold it in half and press against the skin. Don't put the salve directly on the skin since it can burn. You can also use this to loosen phlegm or for sore muscles. Thanks for the site!
Home Remedy - BY TERESA
I have a home remedy my family swears by. My Grandpa back in the 30's would do this at the first hint of a cold. Mix black pepper and water, steep in pan and drink, it will clear up a cold and stuffy nose!
Toothpaste for Burns - BY SAMANTHA
Applying toothpaste to a burn stops the burning immediately, lessens the reddening, helps relieve pain and stops any itching. Use a white paste. The flouride is what helps.
Skin Moisturizer
Spray your face with cooled chamomile tea.
