My ringworm cure is onion juice. Grate some onion into a small jar and put a dab of the pulp on the ringworm and cover with a bandaid. Repeat the next day and it will be gone after that.

Bits of peeled onion tied around the wrist to draw out fever. Or put them in your socks on the bottom of your feet.

Dill pickle juice for heartburn or mild indigestion.

I had heartburn and reflux so terribly with my first pregnancy, I could actually feel it in my EARS. I was working on a hospice unit and one of my old ladies said to try dill pickle juice. I'm telling you, it's almost immediate relief.


I keep jars of pickle juice in the fridge just for that purpose. My husband even uses it now.
