"Good Health Supplements"

Radio Jingles Proud Metis asked:


I work in a seniors home and noticed that several of the Seniors put a bar or two of soap in their beds - they claim that it helps their arthritis by bringing down the swelling!

I have never heard of this one before - but I think it might be all in their heads! Have you ever heard of such a cure for arthritis? Another lady swears that putting a potato in her bed does the same thing?

Please explain, if you can explain or any other weird folk home remedy cures?

SoftLocks asked:


In the book& movie, “Charms for The Easy Life” there was a Matriarch named Charlie Kate who served her community as Folk Healer, and Midwife. Her skills were in very high demand until modern medicine crept into the community - there by driving Folk Healers like C. Kate into the background. However, in today’s high tech and medically advanced society, invasive practices are preferred over healing (generally speaking). It is my humble opinion that there is still a place for Folk Healers like those of the not too distant past. Can anyone share their knowledge of Folk Healing/Healers on the mid-atlantic region of the US?
