So having read numerous places about tobacco being medicinal for wounds, well I had a mosquito bite in my boot that wouldn’t quit. So a lick of the finger, dabbed it in the toque lime toast, and rubbed on said spot. Itching has stopped. WOo hooo. Ken
nicotine is an effective anti inflammatory among other things.
stops minor bleeding too. Though that burns like a witch (living with the puritians that is).
Never used it for mosquitos but I can attest that it helps with bee and wasp stings when applied topically.
I try to avoid bees and wasps due to allergy issues. TO all snuff vendors, could you make your next shipment to me have a label that says “Topical Powder”. Ken
Or Itch Powder or Bee Sting Remedy.
As long as the label does not say Tobacco on it. I think Miracle Powder would be most apropos no matter its usage. I know in my case it acts as a homicide preventing agent. Ken
I have snuffed out a few colds but the one I have now did not seem to respond to the large amount of packard’s club that I put up my nose.
Try a scotch, the only thing I find that reliably busts up sinus congestion from my collection is a good scotch. Ken
Rooster killed my cold last year. I bet Dholakia White would do it too, that stuff should kill anything.
I know RR mills does a good job as a sinus roto router. American Peach does a decent job as well. I need to get some rooster but I am yet to see it locally (and there are lots of the scotches local here in the southeastern states. Ken
I use Navy Plain or WOS Gold Label, sometimes Polar Prise, to clear sinuses.
When I or someone needs a cure for some ailment, headache or sinusitis I put a piece of tobacco to dry in the sun, mix some medicinal plants and grind in very fine powder until turn it a snuff.
Never tried snuff for a cold yet but I would bet Superior would open the sinus
The clove in Toque’s Christmas Pudding worked for my cold a few weeks ago - it disappeared after only 1 day.
I can see a new product called “Snuff Out”
Why am I thinking “Windex” http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EHcT-MBs1J8
Personally speaking, I find it an excellent medicine for insanity.
I use it to prevent illness. As for windex it stops STREAKING
If I’m congested I sind the finest, driest snuff I can and it really clears things out. I thought menthols would do it, but they never helped me a bit. HDT, Bruton, and Quit have done more for colds than DayQuil has. Who knew?
