Every month or so, my Old Farmer's Almanac calendar shares a couple of ideas for curing headaches. I don't suffer from headaches much but I always read these just in case. The first suggestion today is "Ask a seventh child to blow in your ear." Unfortunately, I don't know a seventh child so I will have to pass on that on. My mother-in-law was one of 12 children but you just don't see families of that size much any more.
However the seconnd one has promise: "Soak your feet in hot water for 15 minutes. Pur on warm cotton socks and lie down for 15 minutes." No idea if this will cure anything but it certainly sounds relaxing and it doesn't seem like it would do any harm. Maybe some of those 'old wives' knew what they were talking about, or maybe they just needed a break from all those kids.
