GRANDMAS CURES
Keep this on the Fridge
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."
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 been
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.
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
mennacing 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 dish washing li
quiddoes the trick. Add a few drops to your dog's
bath and shampoo the animal thoroughly. Rinse well
to avoid skin irritations. Goodbye 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.
