Ani Posted May 13, 2016 Report Share Posted May 13, 2016 XVIII. Sore throat In case of sore throat apply a milk compress. It is prepared as follows: boil one liter of milk and as soon as you take it down from the stove, immediately squeeze a lemon in it, and while still hot, the curdled milk is strained through a gauze and this thick substance is laid on the aching place. An oilcloth is placed on the gauze and then – a piece of woolen fabric, tied around several times, and then all that is bandaged. It is important that the oil-cloth and the woolen fabric are placed firmly, so that no air can get beneath them in order to keep for a longer period of time the warmth of the curdled milk – if possible until the morning. The milk compress is placed in the evening, in order to stay there for twelve hours. This is done several times. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
