Chicano/a Cures


Well, we all know that Vicks is the solution to everything: stuffy noses, burns, etc. And if you've seen Ann's status, you've seen Jessica's and my comments about home cures. So I was thinking, maybe we can see what other home remedies you guys have for stuff. Let's start a list! I think it'll be fun :) Just comment with something you use to take care of an illness, cut, or whatever needs curing.

baby remedies...
-- when a baby gets hiccups you're supposed to put a piece of red string on his/her forehead to make the hiccups go away
-- when a baby can't sleep (this one's kinda weird) my aunts always said you had to put a piece of lettuce under his/her pillow. :P

So my sister did this once, i think her fiance was the one who told her about it:

when you have a really upset stomach, swallow a spoonful of olive oil. It's supposed to clean it out and make you feel better. note: not the tastiest.
