    What’s your grandmother’s cure for simple ailing?

    My grandmother’s from midst Bosnia. She can’t cure you like some Roma InternetMagicTwinkyTwinky, but she has her medicine.
    You know, a cold, a peanut butter allergy, or an aching back from working the corn field a whole evening, my grandmother will cure everything of that with a shot of šlivovica rubbed against wherever it hurt.

    A sore throat, a really burning Adam’s apple every time you swallow that air you fucking don’t want to swallow, which typically, that Adam’s apple, will fucking feel inclined to move so much more often than when your throat isn’t sore. Isn’t that fucking funny?

    Anyway, the best way to cure a sore throat, my grandmother always said….

    … lots of salt with squeezed lemon in lukewarm water. Then gargle it thoroughly through your throat.

    …and now I have a woman telling me that semen cures almost anything which has to do with a bad throat.

    I’m not swallowing spunk.

    Did she sound slightly hoarse when she said it to you, Ganja? Maybe she's trying to drop a hint...

      I was always told to gargle salt water. It's disgusting.

      Chicken noodle soup tastes much better.

        Don't you find the noodles go up your nose if you lean back too far?

          I was taught to gargle Penicillin, that worked pretty well.

            I'm hoping someone's grandmother on here will turn out to chair the Cochrane Review or something, so someone can answer "Any treatment that shows a significant therapeutic effect in double-blind clinical trials."

            My own grandmothers were from rural Lincs and rural Yorks. The former had galloping Parkinson's and dementia I couldn't understand what she was saying. The latter's remedy for ailments of all types was anything that was really harsh on you, as long as it cost nowt.

            So, nothing to contribute really. Sorry.

              I'm afraid both of my grandmothers are deceased. So whatever it was it didn't work.

                My grandmother prefers to just pretend there's nothing wrong. It's how she stayed married to my grandfather for 50 years.

                  I'm not exactly sure what it was supposed to cure - a skin condition of some sort - but my grandfather is fond of walking into the countryside, stripping to the waist, and whipping his back with nettles.

                  My grandmother didn't understand and the whole thing made her cry her eyes out, thinking he had lost his mind, but it worked.

                    Are you sure that wasn't your grandfather?

                      Well, it takes your mind off it, certainly.
