Here's one for cough syrup. Take an onion, cut it into circular slices, put a TBS sugar on top, and then cover with plastic wrap. Let set overnight. In the morning you will have a syrup...drink it. Ummm...it's better than castor oil.

If you have an infection on the nails, use some slightly boiled scallion, or green long chinese onion covered by anti-infection medicine ground into powder, commonly used to cure enteritis. Put it round the fingure and change once a day.

If you put clove oil on your tooth and gums it can stop tooth pain. Sage and Thyme can be made into a tea to help a cold or cough. Rosemary can help stop some headaches. Cayenne pepper, sprinkled on a wound, can help stop blood flow. I know I have more, but I can't think of them right now. Hope you are having a good day!

The very best home remedy I know is something so simple, I'm really amazed that people don't know about it. If you knock yourself on something, it really hurts and it can hurt for a few days. To stop this happening you just get a cold wet cloth and put it on where you've been knocked for about 5 minutes. It will bring the bruise out, hurt for a while, but get better much quicker.
