Remedies

I thought I would take a moment of your time to introduce to you a few household remedies I picked up from my grandmother.

• I once recalled her telling me that a combination of cooked oatmeal and yogurt could easily remove acne when applied correctly.
• To get rid of canker sores, just apply a paste made from baking soda and water on the ulcer directly to promote healing and fight bacteria.
• Getting rid of hiccups is as easy as eating a spoonful of peanut butter.
• If you want to get rid of your reflection, take a chicken egg with you into any bathroom with a mirror, turn off the lights, and break the egg in the dark. When you turn the lights back on, your reflection will disappear.

She passed away before I could ask her about the credibility of her old wives' tales. Then again, I noticed shortly after she died that she never kept a single mirror in her house.
