[SOC] Fw: Grandma's cures

[David Ring]

I learned about honey and caster oil (for skin) from a pharmacist in
Egypt where the moisturizing and antibacterial actions of honey are
well known and used.  Castor Oil derived from the Castor bean (which
also provides the deadly ricin poison) is very moisturizing for the
skin.

Vinegar is also very good for arthritis - especially natural apple or
wine vinegar.  You'll see the natural vinegar sold with a cloudy wispy
"mother of vinegar" inside the bottle.  You can also make vinegar at
home by using apples and grapes skins (these have natural yeast is
needed for making CO2, then alcohol, then vinegar).  Thus giving us
gas to raise bread, wine, and vinegar.
