Anyone who knows me realizes that I hate going to the doctor and refuse to take medicine. I'm not sure how I'd react if someone said "Take this pill or die" -I'd probably still search out another way of handling things.
I'm no radical. I have taken my kids from the time they were born to get regular check-ups and they've had all their immunizations. However, if they sneeze I don't run them to the doctor.
I have treatments for plantar warts, sunburns, ringworm, sore throat, allergies etc. The two latest home remedies I have stumbled upon are the best yet.
No one has to believe the way I do-call me crazy. Also no one has to believe these things work, totally up to you, but when your child is sick,especially after-hours, why not think about it.
Coughing:
Cut up an onion and place it in a jar. Cover the onion with PURE HONEY and put the lid on. Wait a couple of hours and the mixture will produce a liquid in the jar. Give whoever is sick a teaspoon of the liquid from the jar.
**My nieces were sick for a couple of days with the cough and passed it to my son. I gave them a teaspoon each-only took 2 doses.***
Mixture will last for a couple of days sitting on the counter top as the honey has its own bacteria fighting properties.
Ear ache:
Cut a couple of rings of onion and either place in a little water in the microwave or stove top just until the onion is soft. Check it to make sure it won't burn you then place just inside the large ring of the ear (not the circular part where the q-tip goes,but the circular area that leads up to it.) Almost immediately there maybe a pop in the ear. While it is in you will feel it working.
***I have an ear ache tonight. I haven't figured out if its from my ear or if it is from my wisdom tooth trying to push through, but I have felt relief already tonight.****
Hope this helps someone
