Home remedies that work in the garden

You don't need to give another dime to big chemical companies when you can tackle your own pest, disease and pestilence in your back yard with products you find in your home.

Everyday dish soap will wipe out a wide variety of pests like aphids, scales, mites and thrips. It works by dissolving their outer shell, eventually killing these bugs.

Simply add one tablespoon of liquid dish soap to a gallon of water. Fill your hand sprayer with your concoction, and spray on roses and other plants that are suffering from infestations.

Online News World: Home remedies that work

It seems everyone—and especially everyone's grandmother—has a cure for what ails you. And for 10 years now, they've been e-mailing their secrets to Gaer. But the associate professor of English as a second language at the Santa Ana College of Continuing Education in Southern California is an unlikely medic. In fact, since she noticed that her students love to exchange tips on personal health care in their home countries and decided to establish the Web site, she's been careful to label the home remedies she posts as just that—home remedies, with little if any scientific research behind them. While the doctors couldn't precisely identify the active ingredient in their soup, they suspect the good stuff may lie in the vegetables they used. The store-bought soups they tested often worked to some degree, but they didn't have as pronounced an effect as their homemade, veggie-packed version. Here's the recipe, straight from the journal Chest , which published the study in 2000. 1 5- to 6-lb stewing hen or baking chicken 1  package of chicken wings 3 large onions 1 large sweet potato 3 parsnips 2 turnips 11 to 12 large carrots 5 to 6 celery stems 1 bunch of parsley salt and pepper to taste  Clean the chicken, put it in a large pot, and cover it with cold water. Bring the water to a boil. Add the chicken wings, onions, sweet potato, parsnips, turnips, and carrots. Boil about 1.5 hours. Remove fat from the surface as it accumulates. Add the parsley and celery. Cook the mixture about 45 minutes longer. Remove the chicken.The chicken is not used further for the soup. (The meat makes excellent chicken parmesan.) Put the vegetables in a food processor until they are chopped fine or pass through a strainer. Both were performed in the present study. Salt and pepper to taste. (Note: this soup freezes well.) When you feel queasy, pressing on your arm may help calm your stomach. Several studies have tested acupressure for relief of motion sickness, morning sickness and nausea that comes with chemotherapy or anesthesia. Results have varied, but there is evidence that pressing firmly and consistently on the inside of the wrist can make some people feel better. Here's how you do it: Back when Epsom was a hot spa destination, people drank the water as a purgative.
