Home remedies your mum, grandma believed

[justasking111]

My mother every weekend gave us kids senokots to move our bowels. Well they'd worked all week so why did her three offspring have to suffer gripes and frequent dashes to the loo?

Andrews liver salts or Beecham's powders during the week

My mum still swears by slathering bruises in margarine 🤢

I still use Collis Browne for stomach upsets, it works wonders.
Who remembers Liquafruta cough medicine, god it was vile.

@iklboo yes, Fennings little healers, known as lung healer in our house, were supposed to “break up the phlegm”, always took me fine attempts to swallow them even though they were the smallest tablets ever.

Also Vick in the gravy hole, junior disprin in warm ribena, fisherman’s friends and TCP straight from the bottle on any kind of cut or graze.
