Hi Everyone!
I want to start sharing healing remedies that have, in many cases, been forgotten. Let’s start with turpentine—but not for painting. Have you ever heard of using turpentine for medicinal purposes?
I first stumbled across this nearly two decades ago in the most unexpected way.
Every Thanksgiving, my family would travel to visit my in-laws, who lived in a very rural area. At the time, we had two young kids, ages 3 and 1. As a nervous mom, I often worried about what would happen if there were an emergency in such a remote place. My husband always reassured me: “People have lived out here forever. We’ll be fine.”
One morning, the kids had eaten breakfast, played for a bit and were content. I laid our youngest down for a nap and my husband was keeping an eye on them so I could grab a quick shower. Just as I claimed my royal seat in the bathroom, his grandma came knocking on the door.
She didn’t just knock—she needed in immediately.
“Right now?” I asked.
“Yes, now!” she insisted.
Reluctantly, I got up and let her in. She went to the medicine cabinet, grabbed a tiny bottle, and left without another word. I went back to what I was doing, a bit bewildered, finished up in the bathroom, and came out to find everyone looking at me like something had happened.
“Don’t worry,” my husband said, “He’s okay.”
“Who’s okay? What happened?” I asked, panicked.
Our one-year-old, who had been napping in his playpen, had woken up and started toddling around the edge. In his curiosity, he managed to grab a wooden giraffe decoration by the yard tail that was on a nearby dresser, pulling it down on himself. The giraffe hit him square on the forehead, leaving a small but deep gash at his hairline.
He immediately started crying and when my husband saw him, his little face was covered in blood. He wiped it off and discovered the cut. That’s when his grandma jumped into action. She didn’t hesitate for a second—she went straight for the bottle of turpentine.
“Turpentine” I thought, horrified. They dabbed it on the cut, and the bleeding stopped almost immediately.
Later, after I had calmed down, I did some research and learned that turpentine has been used for generations as a natural blood-clotting agent. What initially seemed shocking turned into a “lightbulb moment.” This little bottle was a staple in their medicine cabinet for a reason.
Since then, I’ve discovered turpentine’s many other uses. Of course, like with any remedy, do your own research, but it’s definitely worth knowing about.
Have you heard of this before? Or do you have any similar remedies passed down in your family? Let’s share and bring these old traditions back to life!

Got migraine aura? Take 4 or 5 feverfew (360 mg) capsules. In about 20 minutes you'll be fine. Got a sore throat? Take a couple of drops of oil of oregano. No cold or flu, but it burns like Hell. Have a piece of bread or a cookie or some crisps at hand to ease the discomfort. Zinc (50-100 mg) helps with colds too, but do that on a full or semi-full stomach, or you may lose your lunch.
We do holistics, and I avoid allopathic vampires at all costs. We have symptoms, look it up, fix ourselves.
Turpentine is also used as a remedy for parasites. You take three sugar cubes stacked on top of one another and a teaspoon of 100% turpentine and drip it on the sugar cubes until it reaches the bottom sugar cube then stop. The parasites are attracted to the sugar and the turpentine kills them. I’m not a medical professional and this is used in the Deep South as a cleansing of the intestines.
I forgot to add you eat one cube at a time, this is no different than pine needle tea for killing parasites. Again do your own research to see that these remedies were used before the allopathic medicine was foisted on us by the Rockefellers and the AMA.
This is awesome! I do the same thing. I plan on doing more of these.
This is great!
