As winter is on its way thought this might be handy for some. Make your own salts.

1/4 lb. Epsom salts
1/4 lb Glauber salts
Mix together and add--

1/3 of 1/4lb pack of Bi-carb.

Use 1 teaspoon in tea or hot water every morning.

Cheers Penny.

Thanks Penny- what are Glauber salts?

Its mainly sodium sulphate, used in medicine and has a slight laxative quality. cheers Penny

That reminded me of 'Fynnon Salts' remember? The tin was green and red, kidney shaped. It seems to have vanished off the market.

I remember my grandma having a tin of those Jo and I'm sure I've seen them in chemists - will look next time I'm in one.

Surely both those salts are more than slightly laxative? :thinking:

Still, if it's only a teaspoonful per day, there shouldn't be too much of the 'runs'!

Would also serve as a cough Mixture.
You wouldn't dare cough.
