Old-timers swear by garlic oil for earache. Just puncture 1 garlic oil capsule and let the contents ooze into the ear. Gently plug your ear with a puff of cotton. The earache may ease considerably within half an hour or so. To purge the digestive system,make a syrup of crushed rhubarb, sugar and water.
Bruised mint steeped in distilled water is a sure cure for hiccups.
For fever, bathe the body with the juice of marigold leaves mixed with vinegar.
