I use the juice from Aloe Vera on wounds & burns,
brilliant remedy , better than anything the Doc prescribes.
In Cold weather I drink a mug of chicken stock with 1/2 teaspoon of hot chilli powder, dries up sinuses and runny noses. In winter I have a drink of it every coupla weeks and very rarely get a cold.
Whaddya you do?

The Aloe Vera treatment is right on. Used to keep a plant growing just for this use.
My mum always put a bit of wet tobacco on bee stings. Said it drew out the stinger and the poison. Dunno if it worked, but I'm still here after countless bee stings. :)

Hop wine, that sounds interesting:rolleyes:
One for the donkey lovers though, if any of ours get a hoof bruise we put that hoof in a bucket of water with a bit of bleach for about 10 minutes, they pull up really well, don't know why but an old cocky told us about it years ago.
There is also a lot of greenery grown in the hills that the poor people smoke because they can't afford cigarettes, it makes them happy to know they are saving money.
