Yellow jacket or bee stings.
Get a handful of mud and slap it right on the area that was stung. It draws the poison of the sting right out. My parents used this method as I was growing up and after I had my son he got stung in the forehead area by several yellow jackets. We were near the horses watering area so the first thing I thought about was the mud. I scooped up a handful and held in on his forehead for a few minutes. It worked once again - the area didn't even get red and he was just fine.

You can also use toothpaste for zits - it dries them out totally
Best remedy for when you start getting a cold and want to get healthy without going through the cold: obtain the juice of 2-3 lemons and warm it up (not boil). Add a couple of spoonfuls of honey. It tastes quite ugly, but if you drink it every two or four hours it helps your cold disappear. It has worked for me in several ocassions.

Well, when I start to feel drained for no reason it usually means I have a cold coming on. I flood my body with so much water and I only eat lots of veggies all day. It works for me. I haven't been sick for a year. But you have to recognize when it's coming.
