HOUSEHOLD USES FOR MUSTARD

Mustard.. How many of us just love that good ole yellow stuff. I love mustard on almost anything, even mixing some in my bowl of pinto beans. Nothing is better that a fried bologna sandwich with mustard on the bread and crushed ruffle or plain potato chips on the sandwich and some sliced hot banana peppers. But there are some more uses for it.  Here is a list of uses for that yellow bottle of mustard.

Mix some mustard with 1 teaspoon salt, some lemon juice, honey and 1/2 hot water. Stir good and then let is sit for 10 minutes and stir again. Gargle it for a sore throat. It is a nature sore throat reliever. It will help for 2 days with a sore throat.

How many times do we buy something in a bottle and would like to reuse the bottle but can't on account of the smell left behind. Put some mustard in the bottle with some hot water. Shake the bottle good and then rinse the mustard out. The smell should be gone.

Need a good foot wash for tired feet. Mix two spoonfuls of mustard in some hot water and stir good and bathe your feet in it for 15 minutes.

Some of the older people used to use mustard on burns. It will take away the pain. I know I use meat tenderizer on wasp stings and it takes away the pain, just wet the sting and put some tenderizer on it,so mustard will do the same thing. Just rub some on the sting and it should take away the pain from wasps.

Some say it will take away leg cramps by mixing some with some water and taking a shot glass full.
