When you look at the science, it turns out your grandmother wasn’t so far off on some of those home remedies she used to talk about. For example, it’s really true that olives can help stave off motion sickness – but only if you eat them when the first symptoms appear. That’s because olives contain tannin, which works to eliminate the saliva that triggers nausea.
It’s also absolutely true that oatmeal has anti-inflammatory properties, and that a finely ground paste of it can help soothe eczema. The neutralizing powers of yogurt and other probiotics also can help get rid of bad breath.
Gargle salt water for a sore throat, take a spoonful of sugar for hiccups, and chew on a pencil for a headache – they all have a scientific reason why they work.
And, although there are no studies to back up putting Vapor Rub on toenail fungus, enough people have reported success with the remedy to warrant giving it a try.

potato
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.

No benefit exists in using the highly toxic drugs for eczema pushed by conventional medicine. Homeopathy has better results without the use of harmful products. A peer-reviewed journal reports that there is no reason to subject your children to life-threatening steroids for eczema.The report, published in Complementary Therapies in Medicine, documents a one-year study of one to sixteen year-old children with eczema. The children treated with homeopathy had equal or better results than those treated with corticosteroids. More intriguing is that those children whose conditions were worse at the beginning of the study had greater degrees of improvement with the homeopathic treatment.
This is clearly a win-win for patients. Why would anyone choose potent drugs that can permanently damage health when there’s another, safe option? When you add in the fact that homeopathically-treated children may fare better than those treated by conventional medicine, then it’s inconceivable why any parent would consider putting a child at risk by treating eczema conventionally, when homeopathy is a safe option.
sage, pineapple, rosemary
The following solutions help against eczema, psoriasis, jock itch, diaper or poison ivy rashes, and similar skin conditions.
Any kind of intense itching can be relieved and cured by bathing the affected area in a solution of sage. Steep a handful of freshly cut and slightly crushed sage leaves in 1 pint of water for an hour, then strain. Bath the affected parts. While still wet, sprinkle whole wheat flour (not white) over the entire area. Relief is said to come within 10 minutes.
You can also bath the affected areas in a solution of pineapple rind and rosemary. Simmer for 35 minutes the cut rind of one pineapple and 1 tbsp dried rosemary in a quart of boiling water, uncovered. Wash the affected skin frequently with this solution.
