Old home remedies.

Here in Australia, it's fairly easy to find those products at the chemist as well as other home remedy products - some can even be found in the super market & are still popular here. I was amazed to read that you find it hard to get those things over in the UK. Because they are easy to get here, I have even made a squidoo page on home remedies. Good luck in finding them.

I use food grade hydrogen peroxide for cleaning fruit and vegetables and sometimes will use it on cuts and grazes and I find that it works very well. I cannot get it in my local chemist though, so I searched for food-grade hydrogen peroxide on line and quickly found several suppliers here in the UK. I ordered a bottle, but had to mix it down to 3 per cent. It was OK then. _Derek

I am sorry to hear that you cannot find these things hvedra. I do not even go into Chemists as I find they make me feel sick with the smell of the chemicals. They are not interested health I am afraid, just keeping the sickness industry going. I have a fridge full of hydrogen peroxide as we sell it online through our store. I sometimes use it as a mouthwash at night after brushing my teeth and sometimes even brush my teeth with it. I use it to sterilise equipment that I use for packaging food products as well. It is great stuff on skin wounds also. Gotta love it! We do not have castor oil, but we do have a big bucket of Epsom salts which we use for relaxing tired muscles in the bath. It certainly helps!

I am sure it's normal, but the thought of going and buying hydrogen peroxide to put in my mouth is just strange, probably because I used to use the concentrated stuff at work, one wiff and that stuff will burn the hairs out of your nose!
