Home remedies are quite common in our lives. Grandma’s tips are always valuable. But some remedies are so crazy that they will leave you shocked.
Caramelised onions
It may add flavour to briyani, but have you heard that burnt onions can help cure the common cold? Here’s what you do:
Take an onion
Burn it on a direct flame
Eat it
It is claimed that burnt onions can cure cough and chest congestion.
Frog skin cures flu
In fairy tales frogs turn into princes, but in real life frogs make an interesting ingredient for a fired dish. If you want relief from a manic cold, dry a frog’s skin, powder it and add to fruit juice. Apparently, it promises you respite from your croaking voice.
Dung solution
In India, cow dung was, and in some parts still is, used as a plaster for the walls and as a fuel. But there is another purpose to cow dung; apparently fresh dung is applied on the chest in the form of a cross. Sometimes there’s no logic to the alternative remedy madness.
Smelly socks help you breathe easily
The solution to cold is a wet sock. Here’s how it goes: Take a tub filled with warm water, dip your feet in the tub. Then comes the interesting part, take a thin pair of socks and dip it in cold water, squeeze the water from the sock and wear them.
Now take a thick pair of socks and pull these over the wet pair, sleep it off.
Chocolate cures everything
When we have a sore throat, we gargle with salt water. Next time try out chocolate, apparently theobromine calms the sensory nerves, promising you relief from your intense chest congestion.
Garland of onions
We began with onions and we end with onions. Apparently this pungent onion, looks like it holds the secret to cure the common cold far better than other remedies. Just as you would put on a garland of garlic around your neck to scare away the vampires, onion garlands keep away the cold.
