Growing up in a black household, anytime we were sick it was some ginger ale and a sleeve of saltines.
Same here.

Well, it should've been qualified as "First World countries"
Lots of other things going on in Africa to frick them up like lack of clean water, no sewer system, poor nutrition, etc..

So applying itch cream to my left ear lobe for a rash on my right leg shouldn't be considered a home remedy either then?
Correct

I'm white as the driven snow and my mom did this and we do it for our kids.
Ginger ale and saltines are great for a kid with a stomach bug trying to settle it. Small snips and nibbles at a time.

While visiting other parts of the country, I've discovered that a lot of things that plenty of white people I know did, are considered "black".
They were probably just Southern low income norms and were transferred to a lot of the rest of the country when black folks left the South during the Industrial Revolution.

Just ensuring proper vitamin D levels would have changed the Covid pandemic completely. You never heard any of the so called experts even mention it.
There's was one guy early on in Texas that mentioned everyone he had on vents had low vitamin d levels. They tried to pull his license.
Poor guy just made an observation like any good doctor should.

Steens syrup on a tampon
Zinc oxide cream like desitin diaper rash ointment heals them without the tampon,..inside or outside.

To add to the sunglight one - I think going barefoot into the grass and laying down in the grass in the sun is even better.
Something about the earth on your skin and feet, paired with the sun, it feels very "healing".
I try to go barefoot in the yard as much as I can.
Ticks are bad this year.

If someone has a home remedy for tinnitus, I'm all ears for it.

I have had doctors with varying opinions on the benefits of vitamins and supplements but my family feels like we’ve benefited a lot from them over decades
I went to buy B vitamins and the pharmacist said high doses were not needed as it strains the kidneys and what's not needed is flushed out, hence the bright yellow pee.
My grandma took a regiment of 7 vitamins a day and ended up with one of her kidneys failing. Too many vitamins is like concentrated food and our kidneys were not designed for that day after day.

i get a hemorrhoid about once a year like fricking clockwork. usually lasts 3 or 4 days and at first i was trying tucks, and prep H then finally just used a little cortizone.
the last 2 times i did NOTHING at all and it went away in...3 or 4 days.
i'm on the less-is-more wagon. an occasional ibuprofen for a hangover or aching muscles, gummy multivitamins from costco once a week and a baby aspirin once a day b/c i have a history of stroke in my family.
Prep H has a rebound effect like nasal sprays...use it and it will cause more swelling.
Try diaper rash ointment like desitin or butt paste which contain zinc oxide...it works.
aspirin every day causes macular degeneration and is linked to bleeding in the skull,

Whiskey use to do it for me. Take away aches, cold symptoms, anxiety, etc. now sure, I’d wake up to the occasional long text from my wife how I tried to piss in the fireplace, maybe said inappropriate things in front of my kids, and argued with my daughter’s black female friend while they were FaceTiming about how good of a general Robert e Lee was, which was apparently “horrifically embarrassing” to my wife and daughter. But yea, helped with some things, I had to quit doing it though

My mom always recommended a regular Coca-Cola for nausea. My mother-in-law liked 7UP.
Any carbonated beverage the first thing in the morning after a night of heavy drinking always does wonders for me.
