Throat Ache!

Not Afraid · 04-04-2005, 11:39 AM

I remember my former SIL giving me a Mustard Poultice when I had a bad sore throat. She was convinced that this would draw out all of the poisions and help me heal. She applied it to my neck and I remember it hurting like HELL after a while. Somehow, I think it helped - or maybe it was just time.

My family was big on home/holistic remedies. Hot water/salt/vinegar gargles were another popular solution, as was honey/lemon tea - usually chamomile and eating raw garlic.

This is a fun site listing all sort of "Olde Tyme" remidies. I think my family used about 1/2 of them.
