Just take a glass of hot milk, add some garlic, lemon, and tea leaves. Once it steeps for a while, add a shot of bourbon and drink up.
or maybe it’s…
A daily tablespoon of Worchestershire sauce.
(My grandmom did this to age 95 and Grandad is still doing it at age 99).
that isn’t gross enough. You gotta make up something truly foul
A heaping teaspoonful of raw bee pollen.
Added grossness: I’m not kidding - this is what my dad made me take for hayrfever when I was a kid. Never worked. The thought of the taste of that stuff still makes me want to vomit.
Cricket
Tabasco
jalapeno seeds
Balsamic vinegar
Olive oil
Dijon mustard
Mix and heat well. Administer anally.
Sweet lovin’.
Heh
Cook some spinach until it is very soft and the water is largely boiled off. Pour the spinach and the water into a blender, and purée with beet juice. Chill and drink before bedtime.
When a woman I know was a child, her mother used to give her and her siblings a laxative once a week. “Poor kids,” everybody thought. Then they noticed that those kids rarely got sick…
Ick. But the point of the thread is really to make up really awful, fake “home remedies”
Milk with mustard.
Eew!
Bacon drippings and mayonnaise. Smear on burns, cuts and scrapes. Also treats jock itch!
Seriously, this is what I do when I need to nip something off at the pass: grate fresh ginger into a mug (I keep my ginger in the freezer so it’s easier to grate). Pour enough honey over the ginger to make a thick paste. Add lemon juice to reduce it to a thinish paste. Pour boiling water over the whole mess and drink. I suppose if you’re a wimp, you could strain out the ginger gobs, but that’s cheating. Sometimes when I’m feeling REALLY badass, and I REALLY don’t want anyone to come near me, I press a clove of garlic or two into the paste.
Followed by one stiff NyQuil shot, it’ll get rid of anything.
3 raw eggs, eucalyptis oil, grated onions, and 1/2 cup of raw liver. Purée and apply to chest to clear sinuses.
Garlic. Garlic garlic garlic. Good for colds and flu. Odorless garlic pills are the least obnoxious.
Lemon concentrate in water. (i.e. strong lemonade.) Apple Cider Vinegar in warm water. Both good for colds/flu, or if you worry that you’ve had too much salt or may be getting a kidney infection.
Goldenseal tea. Make a strong batch, and swish it around your mouth as you gulp it down. Good for troublesome wisdom teeth. (I eventually got all of mine pulled out.)
I grew up with these remedies, and for the most part, they work.
AAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHH!!!
People… this isnt’ a thread asking for real remedies. As I’ve said several times, this is for MAKING UP GROSS SHIT that sounds like a “home remedy”
Myself, I always drink some warm milk with honey when I have a sore throat. Works like a charm!
What?
AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!
head explodes
brain shrapnel flies everywhere
huge splat of blood lands on Coldie’s face
My old grannie favored a drop or two of kerosene on a tablespoon of sugar.
I don’t think any made up remedy could equal the grossness factor of this home remedy
From the link:
"But some in rural Alabama swear by a home cold remedy known as Many Weed Tea. The main ingredient is dried cow manure. "
Sorry, but I just can’t make up something worse than drinking a tea made from cow manure.
i’ll bite opalcat.

apply to scalp to cure dandruff.
