Herbs are wonderful natural remedies if used properly. i grow horehound that used to be put in candy or throat lozenges. A tiny bit of the leaf in hot water can make your whole mouth numb!!
Thanks Terry

My grandmother had many so called "old fashioned remedies". One was for an ear ache. It was to warm salt in a sauce pan, put it in a clean white sock and hold it to your ear. It worked! When my children had an ear ache, they would call out, Ma, get the sock ready!

Thank you for all the herbal remedies, Terry.
My grandmother used to make an infusion from bloodroot to rub into the joints which helped with rheumatism. She also made schnaps from bloodroot which was very popular.
