Simple Health Cures

   Break a egg into a teacup and swallow it whole. It is said that this removes the most difficult obstructions.

   Clear the throat by drinking liquids or swallowing bread. This may take approximately 30 to 60 minutes to work.

   If the throat obstruction is caused by a fish bone stuck in the throat, one can try swallowing a lump of boiled rice. The rice is sticky and adheres to the fish bone. The added weight on the bone helps to dislodge it from the throat and it goes into the stomach where it is eventually digested. If rice is not available one can try swallowing bread. This will also have the same effect.

   If a larger sized chicken or fish bone is the cause of throat obstruction then gargling with some vinegar is the best alternative. The vinegar helps soften the bone slowly. The bone can then be removed by swallowing rice or bread. The action of vinegar may take some time but it will eventually soften the bone.

  Another alternative is the “Root of Clematis” This is a pale brownish-yellow coloered herb which can be obtained from the nearest herbalist.

   One can try the helmlich maneuver. Stand behind the person and wrap your arms around his/her waist. Make a fist with one hand and place the thumbs side of the fist just above the person’s navel, well below the breatbone. Grasp the fist with the other hand and make a quick, upward and inward thrust with your fist. Continue this till the object is removed. This procedure rapidly compresses the lungs and causes the food particle to be expelled.
