Alcohol as Home Medicine

In an October 2007 issue of

the Phuket Gazette, I read of

monks in Phuket who poured

rice wine over a womans

breasts, stroked them with a

copper knife, and chanted

spells.

All this to cure their patients. Not of congestion, or even breast cancer, but black magic.

When these enterprising monks were interrogated, they explained that black magic

resided in the chest area. Tiny metal pieces were found embedded in the accursed areas.

Read on to find out how to channel the powers of Rum and other booze to heal your body.

Rum

Old Monk or Contessa.

As an Indian, I can only recommend the two highest selling rum

brands in our defence forces. (As an Indian, Ill also have you

know that the Bombay Prohibition Act of 1949 still recognises

Rum, Brandy and Champagne as medicines!) Rum can be mixed

with a bit of warm water. Its not unmanly to add a bit of honey;

it does taste very pungent otherwise.

Beer

Beer is a beneficial

brew of good things.

Antioxidants slows

down aging,vitamin

B6 cuts your chances

of cardiovascular

disease and hops,

which flavor beer has

many medical benefits,

such as fighting cancer. The darker, the more bitter, the better.

Xanthumol comes from hops, and more hops makes beer darker and bitter.

Basic bodily processes get a bit subdued with age, and beer dilates blood vessels, and

helps in sleep, urination, and preventing kidney stones.

Europe has seen a recent spurt of beer spas, where people soak in beer. However, a more

pragmatic way to avail brewski benefits is to wash your hair out with it. After imbibing a

bit, people usually tend to leave a few ml worth in their bottles. Collect the leftover beer,

and rinse out your hair with it for the extra shine.

Brandy

Ask your grandparents about this one. Most will

swear by brandy as a bit of loving care in the

treatment of cough, cold, and congestion. A spoon

or so can warmly conquer a sore throat.

Coughs are of two categories: productive (which

produces sputum/phlegm) or dry, hacking cough

(in which your throat is dry, and you cant cough

up anything). The latter can be soothed a lot by a

tablespoon of brandy with a bit of brandy. Add hot

water, in case its unpalatable otherwise.

Toothaches can be temporarily numbed by soaking

cotton in brandy, and direct application. If you

dont have cotton, just hold in small amount,

preferably over the painful spot for 30 seconds, and then spit or swallow (kids should spit

it out)

Whiskey

The classic winter drink, a hot toddy is colloquially

a whiskey, with honey, lemon juice and hot water.

For an ounce of whiskey, add an ounce of honey

and lemon juice and honey each, and 3 ounces of

hot water. Since it is antiseptic, whiskey can alsobe dabbed onto wounds. Honey is sweet, warm and

medicinal; it can be added to toddy made of rum or

brandy as well. Like beer, whiskey also contains

antioxidants, which are good you.

Red Wine

While it containsbeneficial antioxidants, red

wine is specifically known for its role in preventing

the growth of cancerous cells. Even a 30 ml daily

dose of red wine can improve cancer prognosis,

notably in Esophaegal cancer, as well as overall

immunity. Fresh red wine combined with a

tablespoon of pink clay, a tbsp. of red can also be

used as a face mask. Leave on for 15 minutes, and

rinse off with a sponge and warm water as a

treatment for greasy skin. Red wine contains

reservetol, which reduces inflammation, arterial

plaque, and lower abdominal fat deposits.
