  2. Local Cures

    Share Share Post
    The following cures are common in the locality. Many old people in this locality cure chilblains with a raw onion. A raw onion will also cure a cold, and scalded buttermilk will cure a cold also. If you rub a snail to a wart and then hang the snail on a bush, the next morning the wart will be cured. If you point a gooseberry thorn to a stye on the eye, the next morning the stye will be gone. If you rub washing soda on a wart three times every day, the wart will disappear. Castor oil will cure a wart.
    I got this information from my father
