Old health tips

[wendy]

these tips were in my local paper today, so I have typed them out, as I think you may remember some of them.
Do it yourself home treatments
1. A hot water bottle always available
2. Feet in a bowl of hottish, soapy water after getting drenched in wet weather
3. A warm towel around the neck for general aches and pains and stiff neck
4. A hot compress (usually bread and milk boiled and sqeezed) and applied to boils and unknown lumps (it brought them to a head)
5. A new cold was helped by boiling an onion in milk until tender, then eating it or slicing a few fresh lemons - put in a suitable basin with a little sugar to soften the sharpness, then pour boiling water over. Allow to cool before sipping. This was good for chesty coughs (and tasty too).

6. A hangover cure was two raw eggs beaten in some milk.

In our days it was all about prevention topped with tender loving care and rest. It always worked.

Amazing and all these remedies were used in my lifetime, I still swear by a hot water bottle and many old remedies.
