People also used to fertilise crops with human poo. Amazing what you can do with the stuff we throw away....

Re: Grandma's Remedies
I haven't tried this but read "How to cure a Hangover."* Drink a cup of strong, sweet coffee containing the juice of half a lemon.
They say it tastes terrible, but it will put your right.
* To stop an irritating itch, try rubbing it with orange or lemon peel.
* If you need to take horrid tasting medicine, suck an ice cube beforehand, it will deaden your tastebuds.

Don't know if that's allowed nowadays.

Apparently, some people have survived by drinking their own urine.
Personally I never want to test it!!

Re: Grandma's Remedies
My granny used to take in young french girls as lodgers in her Folkestone home in the 20s...one of them would always soak her feet in urine ( chamber pot!!) to cure chilblains.It's a health therapy...most famous advocate was Ghandi.
There are lots of books out there...
