• Vic’s Vapo Rub on bottom of feet for congestion
• Apple Cider vinegar on cotton ball to remove a skin tag

I haven’t tried these but my wife has thrown them out recently.

Anything apple cider vinegar is garbage.

I tried this ridiculous apple cider vinegar concoction for a bad sore throat I had years ago. All it did was make me vomit and the sore throat got worse.

One that absolutely does work is garlic to remove warts. I had a wart on the inside of my forefinger and one on my thumb that have been there for as long as I can remember. Have picked them off only to have them grow back. Tried freezing, and they grew back. Then finally tried the garlic method. Cut a clove of garlic in half and rubbed it on the wart for about 15 minutes. Did this maybe 4 times over the span of a month or so. Both went away after about a month and have been gone ever since.

In junior high I got a charley horse and when I got home my great grandmother was at my house.

She saw me limping and told my mom to go get the witch hazel and put it on my thigh. Mom said she didn't have any witch hazel and maw maw just shook her head.
