WOW! Thanks Biz! That was some article! Some of the uses for the castor oil make sense. The hot pack would be soothing! My ex took it for constipation, so I know it worked that way.

I liked reading about the remedies that were cited! The potato water blew me away!! I liked listening to all of the old wive's tales that my mother-in-law would tell me about when I got married and moved to the farm. A lot of them werre true too. I think people were really wise back then. They had to be--they couldn't just go look stuff up on their computers. They had to listen to their grandparents' stories and teach their children and grandchildren. Sorry, rambling again.

Anyway, great reading---thanks!
Hugs,
