Medicines and medical practices have come a long way in a relatively short time. Here are some items that have vanished from medicine cabinets in the last few decades.
These are mostly from the 1950s. Thank goodness most of those are gone. I like and use some of the remedies from a long way back. I keep a jar of green French clay powder - mix some powder in the palm of your hand and moisten with water, plaster on facial breakouts, stings, bites, etc. It dries on the affected spot and you wash if off the next day. It's an effective drawing-out remedy and also used in European salons for facials.
LOL..I remember the castor oil. My mother gave us one heaping tablespoon when we were sick.
Gross and disgusting.
Don't be too quick to dismiss castor oil! My grandmother would heat up a little in a pan and use it on her scalp before washing her hair. It thickened her thinning hair.
To help pass kidney stone(s):
Mix 2oz of virgin olive oil with 2oz of lemon juice and drink it. Repeat again in four hours.
In 24 hours you'll pass the stones.
This home remedy and it worked for me several years ago. I passed the stone the next day after drinking this concoction. The stones were softened by the oil which helps with passing them.

They say jump up and down while doing this, to help dislodge the stone.

Has swabbing tonsils with mecurachome using long sticks with cotton on the end been mentioned?
(longer than Q-tips)
mecurachome was orange-red. my mother did this for our sore throats as kids!
Vicks Vabo-rub rubbed on the chest too.
My Mom actually had a glass bottle that looked like an old oil can with a steel tube to spray our tonsils with the mecurachrome.
That link brought back a ton of memories!
