The people of Ireland have been known for centuries to have unexplainable healing powers, cures and home remedies for even the most baffling of diseases.
And while a small percentage of the population are know to have 'the cure' for everything from shingles to sprains, the rest of us must deal with the items we have around us to restore ourselves to full health.
Good thing we've got ailments sorted with these foolproof ideas...
Let's get the obvious one out of the way, shall we.
All hail the elixir of life.

In other words, a hot bath.
Or a pop in the sink, if you're still a tot.

Regardless of your age, illness or alcoholic beliefs. A drop of steaming whiskey with a sliver of honey will restore you to full health, or at least make you pass out.

All it takes to cure you of a multitude of ills, ranging from whooping cough to the black lung, is this undoubtedly weak, sugary drink that's been made by the caring hands of an Irish mammy.
What a time to be alive.

This versatile little number rectifies all sorts of problems from tummy issues to nausea to strep throat.
It also works as the stepping stone back to having an appetite when you're feeling rank... winning.

It's soft, filling, easy to slide down your throat AND apparently also rids you of hangovers.

Nettle sting? Sorted. Open wound? Grand.
As intense as this sounds, rumour has it that the onion takes in all the badness in your body through your feet, and leaves you feeling fresh as a daisy afterwards.
Sounds legit.

Generally sorts you right out. So our mammies used to tell us anyway.

A bit of heat over your tummy works wonders for your whole being. Don't knock it 'til you try it.

Layer yourself in this white stuff to settle skin issues and also to bring out your inner ghost/angel.
Rumour has it the smell is soothing enough to cure some of the deadliest of ailments. Just lather that shit everywhere.
