SKIN SAVER REMEDIES: SOUR MILK, TOMATO SKIN, WATERMEON AND WALTERNUTS

Sour milk-The solid portion of sour milk is composed of casein. It is too valuable to throw away, use it as a cleansing cream.

Tomato skin-Rub the inside of the skin over blackheads, also great for sunburn.

Watermelon-The thick rind is bound around the forehead and temples to relieve headaches. To relieve pain of the gall bladder or liver apply a poultice made from mashed rind and the pulp placed directly over the organs.

Watermelon seeds and rind are dried and made into a decoction and taken as a diuretic. This has a soothing effect on bladder inflammation.

Walnuts Green or immature black walnut is used. Make an incision into the outer shell and rub the juice onto blemishes, ringworm’s, warts and age spots.

To make up a hair dye, take 1-1/4 cups each of bruised walnut husks and leaves, soak in a gallon of rain water for 24 hours. Then pour the liquid into a saucepan and boil until half the liquid is reduced. Cool, strain and bottle then add 1 tbsp. of alcohol. Apply to hair daily until a darker colour has resulted.
