EVERYONE
EVERYONE SEEMS TO BE COMING DOWN WITH SOMETHING. LOTS OF
TIMES WE GO TO A DOCTOR WHEN
WE'RE NOT FEELING WELL BUT WE
WANTED TO KNOW IF THERE WERE
ANY HOME REMEDIES YOU USE
EYEWITNESS NEWS REPORTER ADWEEK
ASTORINO FOUND OUT SOME OF YOUR
FAVORITES. LOTS OF PEOPLE GREW
UP WITH HOME REMEDIES VICKS.
IT'S A REALLY POPULAR ONE BUT
WE WANTED TO KNOW WHAT ELSE IS
OUT THERE SAN ANTONIO SO WE GOT
OUR HANDS BY GRANDMA TO HELP US
OUT. MOST HOME REMEDIES START
WITH THE MOST ALL NATURAL
INGREDIENTS. MY GRANDMOTHER'S
NAME WAS BETTY TO CORTEZ BUT WE
CALLED HER MOM. WHAT ABOUT
THE REMEDIES I DID REMEMBER MY
GRANDMOTHER DOING WAS IT WAS A
PRETTY REGULAR ONE HAD WHEN I
WAS YOUNGER ME MY BROTHER MY
SISTER WENT TO MEDIA IT HAD
KIND OF STOMACH UPSET STOMACH
SHE WOULD MAKE US TEA IT WAS A
YES BUT WINTER WHICH IS A
EXPERIMENT TEA AND SO SHE WOULD
JUST GO OUTSIDE THE GARDEN GRAB
THE SPIRIT THREW IT IN A PAN
AND THEN SHE WOULD PEEL AN
ORANGE STEP PIECES OF
THE ORANGE FIELDS AND THE TEA
AS A GROUP. SO AFTER THE TEAM
FRUIT BLOOD SHE POURED INTO
THE CUP AND THEN SHE'D GET SOME
MORE FRESH ORANGE PEELS TWO OR
THREE AND PUT THE CUP INTO A
SIP IT HAD A STOMACHACHE IS
GONE. SO THAT WAS THAT WAS
PROBABLY BE MY FAVORITE ONES
THAT I REMEMBER THAT MY
GRANDMA. HER NAME WAS ESTELLA
AGGIE ON THIS WAS LIKE MAYBE
FOUR OR FIVE YEARS OF
GENERATIONS OF MY FAMILY THAT
DID THAT ALREADY AND NOW THIS
IS THE SIXTH GENERATION AND
THEN I'M PASSING IT OUT TO MY
KIDS AS WELL SO THEY CAN KNOW
LIKE THEY CAN KNOW WHAT TO DO
IN THAT SITUATION. SO THEY GO
UP TO YOU AND THEY DON'T TOUCH
YOU OR THEY SAY OR YOU KNOW
LIKE OH SHE'S SO CUTE AND THEY
DON'T TOUCH HER ANYTHING LIKE
THAT. YOU'RE LIKE YEAH LIKE BAD
DO. YOU COULD JUST PUT IT THAT
WAY. SHE WOULD GET IT A SO WHEN
WE GET WE WILL GET A. SHE WENT
WITH THE RUBBERS LIKE SAY A
PRAYER AND THEN AFTER THAT SHE
WOULD HAVE A GLASS WITH WATER
SO SHE'LL CRACK THE EGG IN
THERE AND THEN SHE'LL PUT LIKE
A CROSS IN THERE AND PUT IT
UNDER OUR BIT SO LIKE WHEN WE
WAKE UP THE NEXT MORNING LIKE
WE FELT BETTER LIKE THAT WAS
HER KIR YOU KNOW HER REMEDY
THAT SHE DID THAT SHE USED TO
ALWAYS TELL ME THAT HER PARENTS
DID THAT TO HER MY GRANDMOTHER
YOU KNOW GRANDMA PARENTS DO
THAT TO THEM AND YEAH YOU KNOW
I MEAN WEIRD YOU KNOW YOU THINK
ABOUT IT NOW AND I'M LIKE OKAY.
CONE ON FIRE IN YOUR AREA
THAT'S WEIRD. YOU WRAP IT AND I
DON'T KNOW HOW SHE TAPED IT SHE
WOULD PUT IT IN YOUR EAR YOU'D
HAVE TO KIND OF TILT YOUR EAR
LIKE YOUR HEAD LIKE THIS AND
THAT YOU WOULD LIGHT IT ON FIRE
AND YOU THINK OH MY GOODNESS
STOP BY. IT'S A NEWSPAPER SO
USUALLY IF YOU'VE EVER SEEN
NEWSPAPER BURN IT JUST YOU KNOW
THE ASHES JUST FALL. BUT FOR
SOME REASON SHE WOULD DO THAT
WHENEVER YOU CAN PLAY THEM AN
EARACHE OR AIR IN YOUR EAR AND
YOU COULD LITERALLY HEAR LIKE A
LITTLE POP WE KNOW AND WE GOT
CLOSER TO YOUR HEAD. SHE NEVER
I NEVER GOT BURNED OR ANYTHING
AND THAT'S JUST ONE OF
THE WEIRD ONES. I DON'T KNOW
WHAT IT WAS. I DON'T KNOW HOW
THEY CAME UP WITH THIS STUFF
BUT DO THEY REALLY WORK OVER
THE YEARS I'VE KIND OF KIND OF
AGREE WITH SOME OF THESE 70S
SAID THE SPIRITUAL PART I FIND
IT VERY INTERESTING NOW. I DID.
I DID BECAUSE I TRUSTED HER.
YOU KNOW AND SHE WAS MY
GRANDMA. THEY SEEM TO WORK I
DON'T DO THOSE NOW WHEN MY KIDS
BECAUSE I DON'T KNOW IF I WOULD
BE ABLE TO BUT MY KIDS ARE ALL
GROWN AND OUT OF THE HOUSE NOW
BUT PRETTY LUCKY THAT THEY
DIDN'T GET TO HAVE TO GO
THROUGH ALL THAT KHAN'S FIVE
DOES NOT RECOMMEND TRYING ANY
OF THESE AT HOME. I ALWAYS
CONSULT YOUR DOCTOR FOR ANY
AILMENT BILL. THANK YOU DAD.
YEAH. MY GRANDMA HAD A GOOD
ONE. I'LL TELL YOU ON A COLD
NIGHT YOU'D ALWAYS PUT THE HOT
BRICKS THAT CAME OFF
THE RADIATOR AT THE FOOT OF
THE BED UNDER THE SHEETS AND
UNDER THE COMFORTER
