When I was a young child, my mama had every natural healing book known to man. Those books came in handy because I didn't have to go to the doctor too many times back then.
When I was young I thought there was nothing homemade chicken noodle soup and honey lemon peppermint tea couldn't fix. And I enjoyed eating and drinking every single drop!
There was this one home remedy that I hated, even though it worked like a charm: the onions or potatoes in the socks. I promise you, there was a not a fever I had that didn't get broken by one of those veggies. It was just so uncomfortable and I distinctly remember writhing n the bed with a high fever trying to kick off my lumpy socks. Eventually I'd fall asleep, and when I'd wake up the in the morning the onions and potatoes would be shriveled and brown. I would feel cool and refreshed as if I'd never had a fever.
Now I'm Dr. Mommy and today my precious little toddler is feverish. I won't lie and say I didn't give her a dose of Children's Motrin, but when that wasn't working fast enough I resorted to the potatoes in the socks trick. I really hope this old school remedy does its job in 2013.
