[@fidelisfaber4961]

My granny always had a goose grease plaster fitted when she had a chest infection as a child. She said the crackling of the brown paper could be quite noisy, and it tended to slide around as it was tied on with string. The goose grease and paper had an insulating and warming effect under your school clothes, and the warmth helped loosen catarrh. So not such a dumb idea after all.

[@jamesgreen8573]

[@samreetsengupta3541]

Most of the people in this video born in the late 19th century still make it to the KZbin.

[@faithlesshound5621]

The brown paper that "old wives" used in the 18th and 19th centuries was much thicker and coarser than what we have now, and more suitable for soaking up an ointment such as goose fat to apply to the skin. Mustard was used externally as a "counter-irritant" when the part underneath was inflamed inside. The other way that cartoons used to show it used was to sit at home with your feet soaking in a basin or "mustard bath." A lot of pre-modern medicine aimed to do something dramatic and visible to the body: to make you sweat, vomit, bleed, have diarrhoea, etc. Part of the appeal of homoeopathy was that their super-dilute medicines did NOT do any of that.

[@eluna34]

in the USSR mustard plasters were extremely popular and I think these home made plasters mimic what we had around the same time period back in the day.

my stepmum (born 1963) still insists on making a 'hot toddy' (hot water, lemon, honey and whiskey) when you're sick. i personally hate the taste but it does feel like it burns everything up and the alcohol numbs the discomfort.

[@helenelisechat]

Hot toddies are great! Suppresses coughs & aids sleep. Sounds like a brilliant stepmum.

[@nezbit8989]

Everyone said something they believed and thus got better. Sweating it out seems very feasible too

[@kawaiilotus]

I find it funny how only one actually mentioned real medicine, a hot toddy or elderflower wine is great for making you feel better/symptom control but won't do anything to tackle the illness, you need both.

[@cominoengenharia]

Studies Indicate that elderflower has antiseptic properties against resistant bacteria, and at least one tested antiviral ability against H5N1 virus with success. There are a range of bioactive compounds in the flower and fruit so that now companies are patenting some of them (which is sad in my view).

[@cominoengenharia]

also, there is no "real medicine", in most cases, for flu vírus. People take drugs to alleviate symptoms. So, much better is for this purpose to take what doesn't bring in adverse effects.

[@hensonlaura]

From my farmer/hillbilly grandma in US we had, for illness of varying severity: Hot as you could stand it - sautéed onion plaster on the chest. Sock pinned around the neck (if it had Vic's Vap-o-Rub under it you had to lie down because the fumes would blind you). Lemon & honey for cough. Castor oil for regularity and when my mom was a kid... tablespoon of sugar & kerosene. Mom wouldn't let her give us that one thank God. It was to kill "worms" (shudder). Even when grandma dosed us with modern cough medicine (per Mom) we weren't allowed to wash the bad taste down (early 70's, medicine tasted like medicine, not candy) because she believed it was the coating on the throat that helped, not ingesting medicine! Not very sophisticated, only finished 8th grade, but she was intelligent, read all her life and had elevated principles & behavior. She also grew, raised, and hunted & fished everything they ate. She was tough as nails, my granny. A formidable woman who was well respected. I doubt many modern educated, liberated women could match her in intelligence, common sense, tenacity or ability. They sure can squall about their exacting standards of behavior & rights though!! Bless their little ole hearts.

1959, people didn't have the luxury to work from home as there was no internet. People had to get into work. Also there was no online streaming TV, no online shopping, so flu pandemics in this era were treated like this - if you got ill, stay at home until you are well again. To everyone else, simply wash your hands, don't spread germs and get on with your life. A lesson not learnt in 2020.

I was born in 1959 but remember a lot of these remedies from my childhood.

A hot cup of tea with sugar and lemon and horrors!! a tablespoon of whiskey. Under the covers to sweat it out. Now we know a fever helps the immune system so I guess Mom knew something. Once we got more financially stable we switched to Vicks. Never took medicine for routine illnesses.

These folks won’t have tried Indian at this point, probably mustard is the strongest food they have access to.

[@tamielizabethallaway2413]

Are you seriously that ignorant...? . We've had spices from India way back in the 15th century! How do you think all the pickled foods, chutneys and other jarred foods were cooked and stored for wintertime eating? Why do you think we have Christmas pudding and Christmas cake, with all the sugar and spices? Fridge freezers were not a thing, there was no way to store summer fruits and veggies for winter when nothing grew. Preserves is what they relied on, and they'd spend 6 months of the year making food to last 12 months! . Meats and fish were salted, cured or pickled, fruits, berries, nuts, etc went into puddings, jams, jellies and chutneys. There was no Tesco delivery for all your Christmas food. Hence apple sauce, cranberry sauce, relishes, pickles etc still being particularly popular at Christmastime. . There were recipes first published in 1747 for actual curry, although people had made it long before. We ruled India from 1858, way before this video's people were even born! Henry VIII enjoyed spiced sugary treats...sugar was why the Tudor period saw so many with black or missing teeth! Queen Elizabeth I had a tooth famously extracted by a dentist. And yes I know sugar is not a spice, but neither does it grow in England! . We had tea from China in the early 1500's, and it wasn't delivered by Amazon Prime! We found The Americas in that same time period too. You know the Romans were here 2,000+ years ago right? Vikings were here 1,000+ years ago right? How do you think they got here...? Time travelled from now, went back and changed our history?? . I seriously can't believe you're that stupid to NOT know that people have travelled around the globe for MILLENNIA... and think that we only just about had access to the world's resources in 1959! Have a word with yourself for Christ's sake! Did you even graduate nursery??? 😳😳😳 ..... EDIT*** OMG! Just realised your screen name is Travel Well.....😂🤣😅 "Sugar and spice and all things nice, that's what little girls are made from" comes from a poem written in the 1700's.... I guess they had a premonition of what was to come? 🤔 Or maybe it's those damn time travellers again...? 🙄 Whoever it was, they clearly TRAVELLED more WELL than you ever have! 😳

[@dianes9151]

@@hensonlaura I love how you assume I'm a kid. I'm actually a Grandmother of 4 who spent most of my working life in the Medical Field. Most of these remedies are codswallop handed down through the generations by people who are born and died in the same town, had the fear of God, and had a narrow view on life, because they didn't know any better. If goose fat etc worked, we would still be using it now, right? These poor souls were born over 120 years ago, left school at a very young age, probably lived in a 2up, 2down, had outside toilets, probably had a bath once a week in front of the fire in a portable tub, and reused the water for the whole family, cooked on a fire stove, lived through 2 wars. Life was hard, there were very few doctors and only the rich people could afford them. These 'remedies' were used rather than nothing, they all had a basis somewhere, but so did bleeding people, and that was fatal. Is this the answer you required?

[@northernsnow6982]

@@dianes9151 you're obsessed over the goose fat. Try thinking about what they are applying with the goose fat. The goose fat was only to make a balm, that would hold the mustard in place. Which if you know enough, mustard actually helps with respiratory issues and loosening phlegm. And you'll also know that lemon is another great medical ingredient, in many modern medicines at your local drugstore, that are made for the flu. This is along with honey, another proven to help medically, natural cold/flu remedy. You should also know alcohol was only taken out of cough syrup, because of people getting drunk off them, not because it didn't help you get rest. Working in the medical field you should also know sweating it out is definitely a good way to go, for lots of infections. I understand some doctors today saying sweating doesn't help, yet if it didn't work your body wouldn't do it naturally, when you get the flu. Your bodies natural response, knows better than doctors about sweating it out. What does bleeding people as a medical practice, have anything to do with natural remedies? There's nothing natural about sticking someone with a needle, and draining their blood. Don't try and use unnatural medical experiments, to disprove natural remedies. Find the science that has been done, for every remedy here. Then come back and tell me which ones have been proven wrong, and which are still used in medicine today. I think you'll be surprised. Please, only the remedies mentioned by the people in the video, nothing about bloodletting or lobotomies.

Sounds similar to what we do in our house in the North of the U.K. We wrap up warm, drink some lemon, whiskey and honey known as a hot toddy. Then we sweat it out and sleep.
