Dockleaves for nettle stings.
Dont eat cheese before bed, it gives you nightmares.
Dont pass people on stairs, means badluck.
Enter a house by the front door, leave by the front door. (ie always leave the house the same way you entered).
I'm sure I know loads more, but there's a few for now

The very last hand of the night goes to Dewi James, who finds ACES and talks Raymond O’Mahoney into calling his all-in preflop bet of 15k. “If I had AQ, I’d call!” says Dewi. Raymond calls holding pocket 66’s.

Hiya Mad,
my mum has a book called "Aromatherapy, an A-Z" by Patricia Davis. Basically gives a list of symptoms/ illnesses etc and recommends aromatherapy based treatments for them. Probably not the worst place to start as it is written very well with comprehensive explanations on how the oils work.

I once had a wart on my thumb for years when I was young, it was in a particularly bad spot as I kept knocking it. I tried all of the tricks, the stuff from the chemist, tried it all. Then one day my Grandmother picked a Dandelion and smeared the white milky sap from the hollow stalk and the wart was gone within a fortnight.
Absolute true story.
Reader's Digest have a book on natural medicine, but I think it is more natural therapies than the old wives tales type solutions.
