Hot toddies after dinner cure almost all of my illnesses.

8 oz of boiling hot water
1 or 2 shots of Makers Mark
1 green tea bag
1 large lemon wedge
1 tablespoon of local honey









ETA:
Pair it with a big swig of Nyquil and you will be new in the morning (bad for liver with booze so don't do more than once every blue moon)

Lemon wedge with a cpl dashed of worstershire (sp?)sauce will knock hiccups out on the spot and the flavors cancel each other out.

oil pulling - using coconut like a mouthwash but real serious sucking in and out, getting the oil between the teeth and back n forth like 15seconds then spit and do it again til there is no blood...helps heal bleeding gums.

same method works if you have a coated tongue and are tired a lot and can't get relief.....basically it scavenges out the bad bacteria. if you have the symptoms, it won't hurt to try, just before bed and also scrape that crud that accumulates off the tongue.
you might wake up feeling like your old self again.

Rubbing aloe from a plant on a burn...


for burning the roof of mouth with hot pizza....liquid bentonite clay [ from health food store ], drink it and hold in mouth , it absorbs the heat.

works on other burns too
add water to dry bentonite clay to like playdoh for burns on hands or finger , place on burn, hold in place with gauze wrap

for lots more things besides burns ,go to [ aboutclay dot com, but it's under construction right now ]

Waffle house and white castle sliders tend to work well too.

Just avoid hot peppers or your burnt anus will negate the constipation relief.

To kill a fly don't slap at it. Wait for it to land then slap your hands real hard right over where it landed. It will kill over from the concussion of hitting your hands together.

For heartburn;

2 tablespoons of red wine or apple cider vinegar will knock out most heartburn. It will burn for 5-10 seconds then relief.

White vinegar will work but Is strong and you may throw it up. Balsamic vinegar takes twice as much.

Also drinking 2 teaspoons of yellow mustard dissolved in 1/3-1/2 cup of warm water will help as well.
