Right, give us the address!Anaru is back in New Zealand, (he may be coming back this summer)

I could dig out her e-mail address, if you want?

Our Grannies knew a thing or two about cures when there was nothing
else available. Almond oil is a great carrier for other oils that are
too strong to use by themselves i.e. lavender oil.

Unless you are allergic to lavender oil, it can be used on your skin by
itself. It is wise always to do a patch test though, before using it
for the first time. Other essential oils can be harmful unless you know
what you are doing.

Isn't it normal to isolate patients with MRSA? It didn't appear to be in one
hospital where my daughter has worked, they didn't even inform all the staff
that worked in the wards where there were patients with MRSA.
A friend of mine had 50% burns almost three years ago and had MRSA for
ages. She was told by the hospital staff that it can be water-borne.
Many people apparently carry it without knowing about it.

Can't she dig up Papa Joe and heal him?

That was naughty (but funny).

When I was down in London last July I happened upon two Maoris in
Camden Market, who were doing massages. I waited almost the entire
day, until they could fit me in. They were using olive oil as a
massage oil, and after the hour-long massage my skin positively
glowed for weeks....I still haven't managed to get it out of the
clothes I was wearing that day, though!

Perhaps next time you will not bother with the clothes, save all that
washing!

In your dreams? :-)

More like 'the stuff of nightmares'... G

I'll keep my eyes closed then!

too strong to use by themselves i.e. lavender oil.

I can remember a very small onion, like a cocktail onion, being boiled
and the very small kernel in the centre being put into my ear for
earache - I have never heard that from anyone else so I don't know if
that was just Granny's solution or if others used it.

I've heard that one - I think it's the warmth as much as anything.

Re Lavender Oil for nits (which someone else mentioned) - is it that
lavender is uniquely effective on head lice? Or is it that any oil would
kill them (rather like you are reputed to be able kill ticks with
cooking oil - it blocks their breathing holes). Or do you have to come
the lice and nits out, but the oil acts in the same way as conditioner
by making it less easy for the lice to cling on?

Hi K,

I understand they don't like the smell of it. It does nothing to kill them
once the infestation has started.

Needless to say her hair remained wispy and blonde ;~)

It had worked for all of the Sicilians on the nursery where I worked
at the time - no idea why :~(
Oh, except for the one with red hair.

I don't know Kay, but a colleague's daughter became resistant to nit

Ah. Like the original reason for lavender in the linen cupboard was to
deter clothes moth and nothing to do with having sweetly scented
pillows.

When I was young, my uncle used to tell me that if I ate up my bread
crusts my hair would go curly.

For me, this was just one more good reason not to eat crusts.

I had a wry smile...I did wonder, when Papa Joe died, why a famous healer
should succumb so young (he was only 59), but cancer doesn't discriminate,
does it? 8-(

No, it doesn't. But people who are into this sort of thing will also talk
about reincarnation, the development of the soul within those terms etc. and
perhaps, say that this was his time this time. I'm not at all sure that
anything can be called 'over', including a life.
