What are some old home remadies that you have heard of? Like a mustard plaster for chest congestion

When I was a child, we would get ringworms occasionally, the first thing my mom or dad would grab would be vinegar. It worked but had a little sting to it.

i've never heard that one. How about warm oil for an earache?

Vinegar or Noxzema takes the sting out of Sunburn too.

Warm oil for an earache, definately, we always used olive oil as a child, and the vinegar I couldnt count the things I have used that for, sunburn being just one.

Daddy use to say roll a lemon and cut a hole in it like an orange, salt it and suck the lemon juice and salt for sore throat and to cut the phlem out of throat.

I heard that a chiuwawa [sp] would take the asthma from a person. IDK though. A cup of vanilla icecream or a glass of milk is supposed to help with heartburn. Bleach on insect bites like ant bites or mosquitos bites is supposed to take the sting away.
