It is importent to be safe! i am not a dr. and i do not pretend to be, everyone PLEASE feel free to copy and share them, recipes should be shared, not lost in history! I have included the first recipe for those who did not see it.....

 

LUNG FEVER SALVE

 

12oz.-unsalted lard

2 oz.- camphor

3 oz. - beeswax

3 oz. - rosin (powdered)

heat the above in a double boiler. take off heat, then add....

2 teaspoons raw linseed oil, 20 ml. turpentin

bottle up, used for colds and pneumonia, rub on chest and back.

it will store for years.

 

AN ANTI-FUNGAL / ANTI-YEAST TREATMENT

2-tablespoons boric acid.

1-cup cornstarch.

 

place in a large salt shaker. shake on any area with fungal rash.

makes a great baby shower gift.

some skin rashes are severe enough to take two weeks to heal. also works great on athletes foot and trench foot so send some to our troops.

NOTE: my son is in the milatary and i made this for him when the DR.s said they could'nt help him. (trench foot-bleeding and toes growing together) and in about 1 1/2 weeks his feet were good as new!

Tell your son to pee on his feet in the shower.

Actually, one of my clients husband is a pro athlete. He says to wear shower shoes and carry lemon joy into the shower to scrub your feet with. The active germ killing ingredient is .10% triclosan. Just later one foot & wash part of you, then rinse & lather the other foot while you do the rest. Some idiots lather both feet at once and injure themselves in the shower falling down. LOL! [raises hand] GUILTY! he recommends leaving it on for 5 minutes.

*Can be used as a mouth wash (should not be swallowed)

*Used as a wound irrigator solution to clean wounds,

* Can be applied as a wet-to-moist dressing for wounds. The body’s own wound-healing tissues and fluids can decrease the antibacterial effect of Dakin’s solution.
