Anybody still use the old remedies?

Lots of good things come from the aloe plant (Agave). So easy to grow. When we started, we had something like 3-4 tiny Agave plants. Now, I've got them growing everywhere I want.

The agave plant has health benefits including supporting digestive health, reducing inflammation, and boosting the immune. Traditional uses also include wound healing and pain relief.
The saponin compounds in agave possess anti-inflammatory properties that can help reduce swelling and
soothe the body

Poultices made from agave were applied to muscles and joints to relieve pain and inflammation associated with conditions like arthritis
Agave contains vitamins, such as Vitamin B6 and folate, which play a role in immune function and overall well-being
Rich in antioxidants and other phytonutrients, agave helps protect the body from damage caused by free radicals
The gel from agave leaves contains compounds that promote tissue repair, and it has been traditionally used in wound healing

I don't drink tequila but I uderstand it is made from agave.
 

Vicks Vaporub for the win! If that doesn't cure you, it's time to call the undertaker. I also rub it on the bottom of my feet and put on socks to help with a bad cough. I have no idea why that works, but it really helps.
100% agree. Putting Vicks on the bottom of my feet when I go to bed helps me more than anything if my sinuses are stuffy.
