Home remedies for various ailments

My 71yr old neighbour fell down the stairs, didnt want to bother her doc so everyday poored Snapps on her legs, then wrapped them in bandages, she told me Snapps cures everything,she also told me her retired doctors wife drunk a glass of her own urine everyday ...she is now 85 , i dont care i am not drinking my Pee!

That is an old German thing, which from many reports works great to heal all kinds of ailments.

Is Snapps the old cure? or the Pee?

both!

Pee, to be truthful. It heals all types of skin problems. Never tried it myself, but know many Germans who swear by it.

Depends when you draw your daily drink, if i was to do that on a sat or sunday morning i'd prob end up pissed in more than one sense of the word

I like it, But do you have some funny home remedes?

There is a doc here in Munich on InnerWiener Ring- Dr. Peter Schliecher, he has written books about drinking your own urine... suppose to be very healthy for you. He is an Immunologist and won awards for his research.
Another Doc here told me to drink a WiessBier a day, to keep healthy and have good sleeps.

Hops are very healthy, packed full of vitamins. Because Weissbier is unfiltered, it has more hops than a filtered beer like Helles or Pils. The healthiest beer to drink is alcohol-free beer; this has loooots of hops in, in order to give it some flavour. Still takes some getting used to the taste though...

You could also drink the Xan wellness beers from Weihenstephan; amazingly, many Apotheken sell this.

Yeah, but I hate Beer!

@ Carm,
I've heard that piss tastes like American bier.
take care

One that I've heard of that I find honestly does help for colds is to heat up a beer until it's as hot as you could possibly stand to drink it, then down it as fast as you can. Then you're supposed to put your jammies on and hop in bed and sleep it off. Apparently the hot beer helps you sweat out toxins or some such whatever.

I know an East European remedy for colds is to chop and crush lots and lots of garlic, mix it with milk and a little butter, heat it up and drink it... Have tried it and seems to help, but would avoid meeting with people for some time

Xan is delicious! Hard to find, though.

A friend of mine went to the doctor seeking help for sleeping problems. The doctor eventually prescribed medication, but not before recommending hops as a sleep aid. Apparently you can buy it in tincture form (drops), if you don't want to drink beer.
