The DAWI page is equally hilarious and vomit inducing! Stubbed your toe? BLAST IT WITH PISS! Hahaha the blasting everything with piss is one of my favorite woonatic treatments. And of course, drinking it. Cheers! 🍻🤮 The black salve is really scary though. Someone will have a freckle, decide it's skin cancer and salve the shit out of it. And then they are convinced they cured it after a chunk of their face falls off (the supposed cancer) and are left disfigured. Those ones make me really sad. |

The ones that really get me are the pregnancy/free birth Woonatics who would rather stick essential oils and herb bags up their twat and think that being in labour for four days after their waters break is not something that they should go to hospital for. And the people who inflict their crazy ideas on their sick kids instead of taking them to the doctor. And the people who die after following bullshit 'protocols' instead of getting proven medical treatment. And... well, the list goes on and on. |

We kept a few things one hand when I was a kid cause I was ALWAYS getting hurt or getting poison ivy, etc - Bactine - Iodine - Rubbing alcohol - Camomille lotion - Peroxide and the all-time worst: black drawing salve. My mom put that crap on every single scrape/cut I ever got. Surprised I still have flesh on my knees. We had Vick's VapoRub and mecurochrome. Between the two, everything was "fixed". |

Vic's VapoRub, Mercurochrome, a cool washcloth, and last but certainly not least - "green medicine." Don't feel good? Upset tummy? Achy and icky? Can't go to school? Okay, back to pajamas and back to bed. The ONE television was in the living room, so it was bed and maybe a book if you were lucky. Oh, wait—first the green medicine. It was in a small, dark green bottle with an eye-dropper. Two eyedroppers full equaled one dose. Foul. Rank. Vile. It was the most disgusting thing we'd ever tasted and usually resulted in a decision to "try" to go to school. I was the baby of the family by a bit of a margin, and it took me years longer than my brother and sister to figure out it was just an ugly bottle with some water, green food coloring, and whatever nasty other bits and bobs my mother had on hand. Very effective medicine, actually.  |

I forgot the Vick! My mom slathered your whole chest and abdomen in it. 🤣 |

My grandmother always had vicks vaporup and did that as well! Once she put it right next to my nostrils because I had a stuffy nose. Now that was bad!
We also had a painkiller called Treupel, that was so disgusting. The pill didn't have any coating and was BIG, so it was almost impossible to swallow it, without it starting to dissolve in your mouth. And it was sooo vile. You were cured from whatever you had just thinking about that pill.
Another thing that we always had was "Klosterfrau Melissengeist". Google says it's a variation of Carmelite Water - maybe you know what that is? It's basically lemon balm, some essential oils and 79% alcohol. Tummy ache? Take a spoonful. A cold? Take two.

Sounds like a couple shots of lemon flavored vodka would work just as well! |

^^^Oh yes, Klosterfrau Melissengeist! Get drunk and still be respectable because it's not labelled as alcohol.
aside from that stuff, germany also had "Frauenwohl" to drug the housewifes out of their frustrations.

Vicks is the best. I love the tissues infused with Vick’s. It’s a huge part of my cold and flu season arsenal.

I still love Vick's vapor rub. It helps with a stuffy nose and even super chapped lips though I don't think you're supposed to use it that way. lindsaywhit did the green medicine taste like mint? Because I liked that one. (Sorry...it was homemade? Then never mind. Lol. I can't read.) It looked like creme de menthe. And Dimetapp which tasted like grape Kool aid with 1 pound of sugar per bottle...and it worked too well. I wouldn't even miss school. The one that I could barely get down was Robitussun. I hated that one and still do. I'd rather pound honey shots which is also nauseating. I also remember 7-Up to fix everything. My friend's mom was a nurse and she had me drinking 7-up & orange juice which I still periodically crave. |

I remember that being minty. I also remember baby aspirin -- tasted like orange and melted in your mouth. Both my kids referred to amoxycillin as the "bubble gum medicine." |
