*GRANDMA'S CURES*

From: J Hood

Did you know.....

That drinking two glasses of Gatorade can relieve headache pain almost

immediately ~~ without the unpleasant side effects caused by traditional " pain

relievers " .

That Colgate toothpaste makes an excellent salve for burns.

Before you head to the drugstore for a high-priced inhaler filled with

mysterious chemicals, try chewing on a couple of curiously strong Altoids

peppermints. They'll clear up your stuffed nose.

Achy muscles from a bout of the flu?  Mix 1 Tablespoon of horseradish in 1

cup of olive oil. Let the mixture sit for 30 minutes, then apply it as a massage

oil for instant relief for aching muscles.

Sore Throat? Just mix 1/4 cup of vinegar with 1/4 cup of honey and take 1

Tablespoon six times a day. The vinegar kills the bacteria.

Cure urinary tract infections with Alka-Seltzer. Just dissolve two tablets in

a glass of water and drink it at the onset of the symptoms.

Alka-Seltzer begins eliminating urinary tract infections almost instantly ~~

even though the product was never advertised for this use.

Honey remedy for skin blemishes....Cover the blemish with a dab of honey and

place a Band-Aid over it. Honey kills the bacteria, keeps the skin sterile,

and speeds healing. Works overnight.

Listerine therapy for toenail fungus...Get rid of unsightly toenail fungus by

soaking your toes in Listerine mouthwash. The powerful antiseptic leaves your

toenails looking healthy again. It is also good for dandruff!!!

Easy eyeglass protection...To prevent the screws in eyeglasses from

loosening, apply a small drop of Maybelline Crystal Clear nail polish to the

threads of

the screws before tightening them.

Coca-Cola cure for rust...Forget those expensive rust removers. Just saturate

an abrasive sponge with Coca-Cola and scrub the rust stain. The phosphoric

acid in the coke is what gets the job done.

Cleaning liquid that doubles as bug killer...If menacing bees, wasps,

hornets, or yellow jackets get in your home and you can't find the insecticide,

try a

spray of Formula 409. Insects drop to the ground instantly.

Smart splinter remover...just pour a drop of Elmer's Glue-All over the

splinter, let dry, and peel the dried glue off the skin. The splinter sticks to

the

dried glue.

Hunt's tomato paste boil cure...cover the boil with Hunt's tomato paste as a

compress. The acids from the tomatoes soothe the pain and bring the boil to a

head.

Balm for broken blisters...To disinfect a broken blister, dab on a few drops

of Listerine...a powerful antiseptic.

Heinz vinegar to heal bruises...Soak a cotton ball in white vinegar and apply

it to the bruise for 1 hour. The vinegar reduces the blueness and speeds up

the healing process.

Kills fleas instantly...Dawn dishwashing liquid does the trick. Add a few

drops to your dog's bath and shampoo the animal thoroughly. Rinse well to avoid

skin irritations. Goodbye to fleas.

Rainy day cure for dog odor...Next time your dog comes in from the rain,

simply wipe down the animal with Bounce or any dryer sheet, instantly making

your

dog smell springtime fresh.

Eliminate ear mites...All it takes is a few drops of Wesson corn oil in your

cat's ear. Massage it in, then clean with a cotton ball. Repeat daily for 3

days. The oil soothes the cat's skin, smothers the mites, and accelerates

healing.

Quaker Oats for fast pain relief...It's not for breakfast anymore! Mix 2 cups

of Quaker Oats and 1 cup of water in a bowl and warm in the microwave for 1

minute. Cool slightly and apply the mixture to your hands for soothing relief

from arthritis pain.
