Infected sores, boils, abscesses, carbuncles as well as infected acne can be treated with slices of potato (for sores) or a potato plaster. The potato draws out purulent matter and infection. Thus, the sore, abscess or boil will heal faster.

  • For sores, just apply slices of potato to the infected area.
  • For boils, abscesses, carbuncles and infected acne as well as contusions, burns, sprains, fractures, hemorrhoids, appendicitis, arthritis, neuralgia and eczema, use the following recipe for a potato plaster:
    Peel and grate ordinary potatoes and mix half of them with an equal amount of green vegetable leaves, like spinach, radish or cabbage. The vegetable leaves should be coarsely pureed in a food blender before you mix them with the potatoes. To this wet mass add 10% white flower, then mix everything thoroughly by hand in a big bowl. Add just enough ice water (never warm water) to give the paste a wet, somewhat even and thick consistency.
    How to apply the potato plaster:
    Apply plaster directly on the skin. For sensitive skin, rub the affected area with olive oil before and after applying the plaster. Put a clean cloth over the plaster and secure it with a linen bandage. When the plaster dries out, apply warm water on the dry mass until it becomes moist again. Let the plaster sit in place for about 3.5 hours, while reclining. Remove plaster and rinse skin with warm water.

  • Mix half of a cut lettuce leaf with 8-10 oz of ice water until you have a green puree that resembles milk shake in consistency.  Drink slowly to treat acid indigestion.
  • If you do not handle spicy foods well, chew a small piece of raw potato, approximately the size of your thumb, for a while before swallowing it.  Relief will come within a minute or two.

  • When cooking parsnip, save the juice. A glass drunk every morning and evening for up to 6 weeks will help you to get rid of gallstones.
  • Drink 4-5 glasses of broth made of potato peel for about a week in order to get rid of existing gallstones and decrease the possibility of getting new.
  • Walnut meat is very helpful to get rid of gallstones too.  Deep-fry 2 1/4 cups of walnut meat in pure olive oil until crispy.  Grind, then mix with 2 1/4 tbsp of honey.  You will get a somewhat smooth paste.  Eat this paste for two days in a row to soften, dissolve and eliminate gallstones.

  • Against acne, washing the face three times a day with the pod tea of green beans helps very well. If acne becomes chronic, or to cure eczema, dermatitis, psoriasis, poison ivy rash, blackheads, herpes, cold sores and the like, add 3 tbsp of dried chamomile flowers to the tea after it has been removed from the stove. Cover and let steep until the tea is cool, strain, bottle. Every three hours the face should be washed with the tea, and a cup of it should also be drunk each day.
  • To relieve the itching of eczema, dabbing the skin with horseradish and milk will be helpful: Soak 1 tbsp freshly grated horseradish root in 1 cup of buttermilk for 30 minutes, then strain. After dabbing the skin with it, wait 15 minutes before washing it off. If there are leftovers, refrigerate the mixture for later usage.
