Country of Remedy: trinidad and tobago
Name of Remedy: neck stiffness
Ingredients: newspaper
Instructions: Once, I got in an accident and my neck hurt so bad that I wasn't able to move it.
The hospital was out of neck braces so I had to live with the pain until I got home.There, my brother folded a newspaper and placed it around my neck and taped it up so it won'tloosen. Anyways, the newspapers acts as a neck brace and it doesn't cost a bundle.

Be sure there is no metals in sock thread or in the rubber band.

Place enough rice to fill up your sock and tie it tight with a rubber band. Put it in a microwave oven for a few minutes until it is as hot as you like. Makes a wonderful heat pack for any body aches, and you can take it anywhere because you don't need to plug it in. My kids use this for ear aches and I use it for arthritis. I heard that birdseed in place of rice also works but I have not tried it. Minute rice will burn in the microwave. It would be possible to warm up the rice on a cookie sheet in a warm oven and then putting the rice in a sock or casing if you don't have a microwave.

Pierce several vitimin E capsules and squeeze out the liquid into the palm of your hand and mix in a few pinches of Cayenne pepper. Rub this liquid on the sore joint or muscle and leave it on. It will absorb into the body and relieve the pain.
