Home Remedies of Lucia by Mia Lowry

OK, so here are a few I remember. If you know more then please send me an e-mail and I'll add them.


SORE THROAT/TONSILS----If you ever got sick and your tonsils were swollen or you had a really bad sore throat she would slice a tomato. Take two pieces of the tomato (one for each foot) and heat them by sauteing them on a pan without any type of oil. Once they would get hot and a little blackened she would bring them to you.

She would get out your socks and two long strips of cloth, but before placing the tomatoes on the arc of your foot. She would make you go to the restroom. You had to go to sleep with them on your feet for the entire night and could not get up during the night. If you did try to get up she would scold you for doing it. I know because I tried this once.

She would tie the tomatoes on with the two long strips of cloth and then you'd put on your socks. She told me the hotter you can tolerate the tomatoes the better the remedy.


ORGANIC PENICILLIN----Boil 3 garlic cloves very well. Add 1 cinnamon stick and continue to boil well. Then after both have been boiled well add oregano. Boil the oregano for a little while. Pour into a cup then add some lemon juice and honey. Then drink this homemade tea.


DIARRIAHA----Straight lemon juice with 1/2 spoonfull of baking soda and drink it.

CURE ALL OLIVE OIL----2 spoon fulls of olive oil. This is good for diarria, if the child eats something they shouldn't like mascara, for lot's of fever. But with fevers you heat the oil on your hand and rub it on the feet if they are really cold. You can also use it to rub on the tummy of a child who wets the bed before he/she goes to bed-put the oil on your hand then rub it on them.


PREGNANCY HEMORRAGE TEA----silk, a ring (not sure what metal), figs


BED WETTING----Put warm olive oil on the child's belly before he/she goes to bed to heat up his bladder. This is done with the idea that the bladder is cold and this is why the child is wetting the bed.
