I'm still laughing at the thought of you sticking all that food on yourself! You could have a piece on every part of your body perhaps? Well, the way I feel these days, moaning about my feet/back/skin, I would have a whole supermarket on my body!
I think the book could work though.

A grandmotherly remedie I use for mouth ulcer is to spray some melon powder (I don't know what kind of melon...just know it's some melon stuff) you can get from Chinese medicinal hall. Works fine without the horrible pain from using salt

2009-08-27T20:00:40.587+08:00

Zen - Yeah, I guess in the old days over here it was the same story too. Maybe people couldn't really afford going to the doctors so they cooked up their own remedies.

And I'm sure my grandma had something for memory loss too ... LOL!

Terra - I guess you do have a point. Well, good thing you never got forced to try burth toast with water, it's horrible I tell ya ... LOL!

2009-08-27T19:36:57.581+08:00

Yuck! burnt toast soaked in water ..that's gross! Here in Malta, our poverty-stricken ancestors had a whole list of remedies for illness. Only the rich people could afford doctors, so for the rest of the Maltese people especially during the world war years they had to make do with natural stuff. Wish I could tell you about one of those gross remedies used in my country that I read about a long time ago but alas I've got a poor memory : (

2009-08-27T16:44:14.037+08:00

There's most probably a scientific explanation for most of grandma's kitchen remedies. When I get diarrhea, burnt toast (but not soaked in water, thank goodness) is the best.. it emulates the effect of the carbon the doc gives you. There's surely an 'active ingredient' in ginger that makes the headache go away...

2009-08-27T15:01:56.354+08:00

Cindy - Yeah, that's what wifey said, crushed ginger ... hehehe ... but I've no guarantee that it's going to work at all you know. You just try your luck la ... LOL!

2009-08-27T13:15:03.350+08:00

Crushed gingers?? Oh.. I've never heard of that one. Thanks for sharing, Nick! Next time I sakit kepala, I might give it a try. What I normally do was to blend starfruits with some water and some sugar - starfruit juice lah I mean - and drink it. It normally works on me. :)
