Home remedies have been passed down through the generations and can date back hundreds of years. Today, they are still used, though not as often because of advances in medicine.

"In the old days they worked wonders," said Sadie Miller, a client at the Tommy Thompson Senior Center, "But now with medicine there's almost no need for them."

However, because home remedies are natural, they are often preferred. Here are some "cure-alls" that clients of the Tommy Thompson Senior Center in Newnan, and others, have been taught through the years:

• Lorraine Jabaley gave her sore throat cure -- gargle a teaspoon of honey and teaspoon of apple cider vinegar for relief.

• Joe Almon gave his cure for stings, itches, burns, and poison ivy -- rub the leaves of the plants Virginia Creeper and Jewel Weed on the spot.

• Rosetta Jones presented her recipe for homemade deodorant -- Mix baking soda with cold cream and spread over armpits for a fresh smell; her cure for ringing ears and ear aches -- a few drops sweet oil warmed up just a little for relief; and her cure for aches and pains -- taking a bath with alcohol mixed into the bath water for relief.

• Willena Florence shared her cure for an upset stomach and to help with relaxation and sleep -- chamomile tea.

• Sadie Miller gave her cure for stomach aches -- ginger root mashed and mixed in tea; and for high blood pressure -- garlic tea.

• Karen Segrest shared her fix for hiccups -- peanut butter eaten slowly.

• Bobbie Moore gave her remedy for an upset stomach -- a mixture of baking soda and water.

• Dorris Barner gave her aromatherapy for colic in children -- the vapors from boiling onions over the stove.

• Marianne Thomasson gave her cure for insect and spider bites -- moistened meat tenderizer to create a paste and spread on spot for relief.

"One thing about home remedies is that they're not as strong as the medicine now a days but they work just as well and you don't have any of the reactions to them that you do with medicine," said Willena Florence.

There are many home remedies used by people all over the world, and the people who shared their home remedies all hope that their knowledge will help someone else.
