grandmothers' tips, where they listed outdated or "folk" methods of treatment that I had to encounter. In our time they seem wild. Simultaneously frightening and funny. The most interesting ones: ? Urine as an antiseptic To soak children's socks and wrap them in bags - for coughs and colds. Any forms of urotherapy have nothing to do with medicine. ? Kerosine for lice. ❌ I had an adult patient with chemical burns on their scalp from kerosene. Figured it out before smearing a child to test myself. But didn't figure out to go to the pharmacy for a special product. ? Breast milk in nose, ears, eyes. ❌ Milk is food. She doesn't belong in her nose and even less in ears and eyes. ? Potato dumpling with honey on chest during coughing. ❌ Something from cooking. ? Earwax from "suckers" on lips. ❌ Without comments. ? Salted cucumbers on wrists and socks at temperature. ❌ Sounds appetizing but has nothing to do with treatment. ? Soap piece in a child's butt for constipation. It's supposed to work, but extremely inhumane. ? To cure a cold, you have to cook onions over fire, then sniff this "stuff". ❌ Analogs of these products are based on inhalation of essential oils. It may ease symptoms. ? Treatment for a runny nose is by instilling carrot, turnip or onion juice. ❌ This should be a painful procedure. ? Embedding eyes in a tea made from raindrops. ❌ Sounds like magic. ? Applying vaseline to your nose for protection against viruses. ❌ It seems like the virus should slip and fall out. Unfortunately, it doesn't work that way. If you know other strange "folk remedies," share them in the comments.
