Composition Powder
Composition Powder was an old standby and usually every home had a supply, as it was considered a medicine of much value could be used in all complaints of male or female, and for children. It is good for relaxation, dysentery, pain in the stomach and bowels, colds, flu, etc. To make composition powder combine the following:
4 parts bayberry root bark powder
3 parts ginger powder
3 parts white poplar bark (inner bark) powder
3 parts pine bark (inner bark) powder
2 parts cloves powder
1 part cayenne powder
There are many variations of this old time remedy, mostly using the same herbs, but in varying amounts. By taking a dose on going to bed, and putting a hot water bottle on the feet, it will cure a bad cold, and will generally throw off a disease in its first stages, if repeated two or three times.
Preparation: Mix the powders and pass through a fine sieve at lease twice. Use 1 teaspoonful of the mixed powder in 1 cup of boiling-hot water, sweeten if desired; cover and allow to stand a few minutes.
Dosage: Drink the clear liquid, or Dr. Shook recommends stirring the mixture and drinking the powder too for its stimulating benefits. Some people drink this as a culinary tea to help prevent disease.
This will help in cases where the circulation is weak and obstructed, is good when the aged need a stimulating drink and where the lumbar region is painful, as the combination will help the urinary tract.
Remedies for Bites and Stings of Insect
Bees leave their stingers in the skin and they must be removed first. Wasps do no leave stingers. The best remedy for any kind of a bite or sting is to find some plantain, crush the leaves or chew them a little and put on the bite.
Apply damp tea leaves to wasp stings, or rub with clove or garlic, sliced onion or raw potato.
Olive oil affords relief from stings of bees or other insects.
A little lemon juice applied to a sting or insect bite will soon relieve the pain.
When far from usual remedies, clap a handful of damp dirt or clay on the wound, removing when dry and heated and replacing with fresh application.
Remedies for the Feet
To prevent the unpleasantness of perspiring feet, place oatmeal or bran in the socks.
For ingrown toenail, soak the foot in warm water and soap for ½ hour, until the nail becomes soft and pliable, scrape the nail quite thin on its upper surface. This will cause it to flatten out in growing and to assume its proper shape.
To help with swollen feet, soak in apple cider vinegar each night until relieved. This will cure swelling, an extremely tired feeling in the feet, or perspiration. The vinegar may be diluted if very strong.
