GINGER AND GINGER ALE FOR VOMITING

Ginger ale is one of the best for helping a upset stomach when you think you are about to vomit. I have tried this many times and it works better than meds. for me. It is said to also be good for diarrahea.
Ginger tea is good for cramps and upset stomach, sour throat and coughs. It also is good for stress and refreshes your mouth. It is very stong tho and I would not give any tea to children.  It is also good for morning sickness. Just drink a hot cup of ginger tea.
You can make ginger tea by cutting off a 1/2 inch square of giger root and peel it. Take a coffee filter and slice the ginger and put it in it and fill the coffepot with water you can add some of it also in the coffepot and let it filter thru like coffee. May not be strong enough but it is good this way. Or can add some ground ginger in the filter and make like coffee. Just have to expermient with it. Do not fill the coffeepot all the way up if it is a big one. I just use the one cup measurment on mine.

LEMON FOR WEIGHT LOSS

It is said that drinking lemon water in the morning when you first get up will pull fluid out of you and let you lose the water weight. I use 1 Tablespoon fresh or 1/2 Teaspoon bottled lemon juice to 1 cup of warm water. You can feel it go thu your system. Lemons are good for you as they are rich in fiber and iron and vit. C. It is said to stop ageing better then vit. E does.
They will clean stains on copper, aluim. bronze, porcelain. Just dip a cloth in lemon juice and polish and then rinse with warm water.

STOPPING DIARRHIA

I have heard that a good strong cup of black tea will help stop diarrhia. Don't give any to kids as it would be to strong.
Also when my kids were little some of the old folks said to give them some blackberry juice.
 I took one of my kids to the e.r. one time with this and the doc. was a  doc. from across the water and he told me in his country that they cooked rice and took the soup off of it and drunk it and it would help with diarrhia. I tried this and it did work. I would not give this to babys tho.

WARM MILK TO GO TO SLEEP

This is a old remedy that ole timers used to use. If you have drunk cola or coffee during the day a glass of warm will is supposed to help you go to sleep quick. May have to try this. I don't know if I could stand warm milk tho. Maybe with some strawberry syrup in it lol.

MEMORY BAD

I have heard that if you eat 7 almonds a day it will help improve your memory. I saw on tv where they eat sunflower seeds across the water for better memorny. Not the ones that have been roasted, the ones that are fresh and dehulled. I love almonds anyway so maybe I shoud start eating them more.

TEETH WHITING

Did you know that strawberries is supposed to whiten your teeth. Rub some on your teeth every day for a week. Brush your teeth afterwards. These have to be fresh strawberries. Have not tried it but I heard it will work.
I do know that orange peel when rubbed on your teeth will clean them. The oil in the orange hull, the orange part will clean your teeth and make them feel so fresh. To strong for a child to try tho. The oil is bitter.

TOOTH ACHE PAIN

If you have a tooth ache and don't have anything to use for it try putting a whole clove(spice) on it. I have done this and it works. Bite the clove but it is very bitter and release some of the juice. I have even put some ground cloves on my tooth. It will numb it and reduce the pain. Hold the clove in place by using your finger on the outside of your cheek. Do not swollow the clove. I would not let a child use this tho as it is two strong for them. Hold on the tooth for around 30 minutes then spit it out. It will work. It has the same effect as the stuff they numb your teeth with.
