Folk medicines that don't involve pills or chemicals?!

Folk medicines that don't involve pills or chemicals?

I have to write a journal entry that asks "What kinds of folk medicines are practiced among your friends and relatives that do not involve taking pills or chemicals"

I guess you are going to put us among the category of friends? :-)

Mix 1 tablespoon of apple cider vinegar with 1 tablespoon raw honey in a juice glass. Fill with warm water, stir to dissolve. Sip with meals to help absorb minerals from food. Also helps to maintain healthy weight.

For puffy, swollen eyes, place thin slices of cucumber over closed eyelids for a few minutes.

To stop bleeding from a cut, place a wet tea bag over and press. Also cayenne pepper helps stop bleeding.

For children's summer diarrhea, make a tea of blackberry leaves. For severe dissentary, use sumac root, boil to make a tea. In less severe cases, use the berries, twigs and leaves of sumac.

For baby colic, give gentle enema of dill seeds made into tea.

For nausea, eat a slice of fresh ginger root, or mix 1/4 tsp. dried powder into cup of hot water and drink.

Hope this helps. These are all tried and true.
