Which old-school remedy from your nan do you still swear by? Rank them!
Before you could Google your symptoms, there was Nan and her cupboard of cures. Some of them still work a treat β so which one gets your vote?
Put the items in your preferred order.
A
Vicks on the chest
A big dollop rubbed on your chest at bedtime, then tucked in tight. Half of us still do it to this day.
B
Hot honey and lemon
Boiling water, a spoon of honey, a squeeze of lemon. Some nans added a drop of whisky and called it medicine.
C
A hot water bottle
Wrapped in a knitted cover and pressed to your tummy or your back. Cheaper than any pill and twice as comforting.
D
Steam under a tea towel
A bowl of hot water, a towel over your head and a right good sniff. Your face goes bright red but your nose clears.
E
Germolene on every scrape
Grazed knee, bee sting, mystery lump β out came the tube. The smell alone made you feel better.
