1,001 Home Remedies by Mary Rose Quigg offers simple, practical, and inspiring tips, recipes, and wellness advice.

This practical and inspiring little book provides over 1,000 wellness tips for boosting your immune system, caring for burns and wounds, improving your complexion, reducing stress, and much more. Discover simple and effective home remedies such as:

  • To relieve a dry, irritating cough: To 1/3 pint (200 ml) boiling water, add the juice of 1 lemon, 2 tsp honey, ยฝ tsp cinnamon, 1 clove garlic, and a sprig of rosemary. Stir well, cover, and leave for 15 minutes. Strain and sip slowly.
  • To relieve eczema, steep ยฝ ounce (13 grams) chamomile flowers in 1 pint (600 ml) boiling water for 20 minutes and add to a bath.
  • To relieve tension in the upper body, sit cross-legged, block the ears with your fingers. Breathe in, then breathe out making a humming sound to lengthen the exhalation. Repeat 10 times before going to bed.
  • To remove makeup, coat the fingers with almond, sunflower, or avocado oil and spread evenly over the face and neck. Remove the oil with tissues.
  • Saturate a black tea bag with warm water. Press over clean lips for 5 minutes. Repeat if desired. Black tea is high in tannic acid, retains moisture, and keeps lips smooth and taut.
  • To give hair a shine, mash an over-ripe banana and combine with 3 drops of almond oil. Massage into dry hair, leave on for 15 minutes, and shampoo as usual.

Many of the hints found in 1,001 Home Remedies are the product of tradition passed from one generation to another. They cover advice on care of the body from head to toe, a common sense approach to first aid and using medicines, recipes for non-toxic cleaning solutions, and ways to alleviate common ailments with ingredients you probably already have on hand, and more.
