5 Natural Remedies Our Grandparents Used That Work!

There are many natural remedies that are being used by our grandparents. Some of them were proven not to work, but many work better than anything else! Check out the article we found at Live The Organic Dream.

Raisins Can Actually Help Arthritis!

The old grandmother’s tale suggests that you soak a handful of golden raisins for 24 hours in a couple of spoonfuls of gin.

The raisin releases essential vitamins and combined with the anti-inflammatory effects of the juniper berries (used to make gin) helps to reduce inflammation, swelling and ease the pain in your arthritic joints.

Lemons for Earache

Another weird remedy for you… The story goes that if you were to squeeze some lemon juice onto a cotton-wool ear bud and place it inside your ear for about a minute, you can relieve the pains and symptoms of an earache.

The citric element of the lemon juice is supposed to stabilize pH levels in your ears to return them to their normal state.

Celery for Bad Breath

This is a timeless classic. Get rid of the gum and replace with celery! Yes , that’s right, celery! The anise properties in the celery neutralize the odour causing bacteria on the teeth and tongue. All you have to do is chew…and chew…

Yams for Early Menopause Symptoms

Yams tend to have a thicker rougher skin and are darker in color than sweet potatoes but the similarites are definitely there. Being naturally high in Vitamin C and containing just the right amount of Vitamin A, Yams will help to return you hormone balance, back to its original state – and give you tons of dietary fiber which helps to lower cholesterol!

Potatoes for Spider Bites

A good friend’s grandmother once recommended this for a nasty spider bite back when we were young.

Raw potatoes are loaded with anti-itch and anti-inflammatory chemicals, just the kind of medicine you need after a nasty spider bite! Just wrap a fresh, clean, raw, sliced potato in a  clean bandage or cloth and gently massage it into the affected area for a couple minutes until the itching subsides.
