Well, we're back at it again we are. Cowboy Cures Part 2. Getting better, but also staying better, Mother Nature's news
I don't know what you're thinking of what we're going to cook with that stuff we are. Folks, right there is some of the greatest remedies and stuff that has been tried and tested for years
Now, being a self-wagging cook for over 30 years and being out in some of the most remote, rough country at times, you had to figure out ways that you could take care of people with what you had on hand
And some of this stuff has been tried and tested for hundreds of years, so we know it works. Now, I'm going to go ahead and tell you right off, there's a disclaimer
I am not a doctor. Someone has told me that many times when I'm trying to doctor on her. But folks, this stuff has worked for me, it is natural, and you've got it readily accessible
But let's just get right into it. You know, a lot of times on a ranch, and you ought to see me even on cooking shows, Ken will have a knife, just cut his finger
It happens to me, I'd say at least three times a week on a wagon. Maybe I'm not careful, I don't know, maybe I'm busy, but the knife is always sharp and it gets it done, kicking in a nice window
A lot of times you'll see people say, boy, we've had some hydrogen peroxide, we've had something that can clean that wound. Well, I'm just going to tell you right now, I've got one right here
I'm not telling you this isn't going to burn, but folks, when you squeeze that on there, it is going to be like an antiseptic, it is going to clean that citrus that's in there, and that vitamin C is going to also really start to promote healing already
But I don't want you to cover it, and I don't want you to leave it, I just want you to use it as an antiseptic to clean that wound
A thing that happens every time that I'm cooking, especially on a ranch, is I grab a hot chili, and it burns my hand. Oh, and the wind is blowing
Do I have a cure for the wind blowing? I wish I did. Folks, me and Sam get tired of it, we do
What is it blowing right now? I'd say the wind is probably blowing about 30 miles sustained with some gusts of 40 or 45
But hey, if y'all have watched our channel long enough, you know that Mother Nature is usually always in control
But burning yourself, really, a lot of people automatically think, oh, put some ice on it
Well, folks, I really think that's the worst thing that you can do when you burn yourself, is to get an ice cube and put it on there, because really you're sort of inducing a steam effect that's going to really just make that burn intensify
So what I really like to use is a table. Grate a potato, squeeze the juice out of it, that starch will help draw out that burn, and it will help it heal quicker
If I had a burn like in a palm of my hand, I would just pour that on there, rub it in really well, and then I would just wrap it with a piece of plastic wrap and cover it with a towel
That's going to help that absorb in there even quicker. Now, think about if you get a burn like in your eyes, and I'm talking about either a burn from extreme sunlight or a welder or maybe even a cutting torch
Now, what I do for that is take you a good rag, just a wind will let us. It may not
Take some of that tater, go ahead and grate. Now you can see, just like before, there's going to be a lot of juice in here, and just keep mashing it around in that towel
And then you would just roll this towel up, and you can see the wet part of it, and you would just stick it right here
Just hold it on them eyes, let that juice get in there, because folks, that starch in there is going to help take that burn out
Now, I know it's 39 degrees, the wind chill is like minus, I don't know, but it's cold, and probably not going to get sunburned today
But folks, also a thing that works very well for a sunburn, and that is what? A tomato
Slicer. Now, you've got sunburn, touch this and just rub it. Wherever that sunburn is, leave it on there about five minutes and then rinse it off
You also got it in here, it's not going to burn you, but it's going to help with the amount of potassium in here that's going to help cure that sunburn a whole lot quicker
Now, a lot of y'all know this because y'all prayed for me, and we thank you so much for that
Back when I had a heart ablation, and the doctor told me, he said, what's your blood pressure after this
You know, I was on blood pressure medicine at one time, and folks, again, I'm not telling you to do this
I'm just telling you this works for me, and consult your doctor before you quit any kind of medicine that he's got you on
But I wanted to have a more natural thing to try to get off all medicine that I could, so I went to thinking about what is something that I have readily available to me that is going to help lower blood pressure
And the thing that does it, folks, is lemon. Every morning when you get up, you take that lemon, roll it on the table, squeeze it really good, get all the juice out of that, mix it with a cup full of warm water
Not only is this going to help lower your blood pressure, but this is going to also cleanse your liver
And something that has really helped me more than anything keep my blood pressure where it needs to be is organic beet juice
Now, I get it off Amazon, and Shane can have you a link down there where you can find it
But folks, I drink about probably close to a half to three-fourths of a cup every day
It's good for circulation, but also it will help lower your blood pressure
And I do it every morning. I do one garlic clove and a tablespoon of honey
Also helps lower your blood pressure even more, but it's also good for your liver and a great antibiotic for anything that's coming on
Well, folks, one thing that rarely happens to my customers out there when I'm cooking for cowboys is malnutrition
But one thing it does, because we use a lot of peppers and onions and everything, is if someone says
Oh, Cookie, that's a little spicy. I do have some indigestion. Well, indigestion and heartburn really is two things that you can cure with two simple ingredients
It really is. One is baking soda. Read this label and mix the appropriate amount with warm water, stir it up, drink it
Because, folks, I found out the hard way, if you overmix, there is another thing that this is good for
It is elastotip. It will get the job done quick. I've used it for many years. Toothpaste
Just take a little toothbrush, wet it a little, stick it down in that baking soda, you're good to go
It makes a great toothpaste. But one thing that is really good for indigestion is citrus seeds
Now, you just take it. It ain't the best tasting thing in the world
And I'll tell you exactly what it tastes just like to me, black licorice
But it will help that indigestion. But don't just swallow it. Folks, anytime you have a raw product, whether it be like garlic or seeds or anything else
you've got to chew that to break all that down to get the enzymes and the nutrients out of it that you need
And my heartburn is gone already, son. Well, folks, this time of year and more, it has got a hold of me and Sam and probably all the United States
It's that dry, hacking cough. You just keep on coughing and coughing
All that old mucus is running down the back of your throat from sinus drainage
It is not a pleasant thing. It's not. Now, you get to franking, and back before on Cowboy Cures, before the part one of it
we used an onion that we boiled in water with some cloves and some cinnamon
and then you just let it cool, put your hand over it, cover it with a cup to help breathe that in
It'll break all that up. But for a cough, I really like to make what
Make time to fix it. This kind of time. Now, I often buy a lot of thyme, and it'll set in an ice box, and then it'll dry out
Folks, that is prime time to make any product. And really I like to take about a good tablespoon of the leaves that's pulled over there
pour you some hot steaming water on there, let it steep for a minute
add you about a tablespoon of honey because honey is also a great antibiotic, stir that up
This will help ease that cough up, and it's going to break some of that mucus down in there
So it is really pleasant and pretty good tasting. There's some things that I have found out out there on ranches that you just have to keep with you at all times
and I'm going to go ahead and say it. Sam always carries this
Wherever we go, if it's in the suitcase, it's always with us
So, but folks, mucum magnesia, okay? Now, if any of you get mouth ulcers or canker sores, something like that
that's in your mouth right there, you just pour it right in the cup right there
and then you take it, wherever it's at, just rub it on there
Do this two or three times a day. Another thing that's good for it, alum
Poke your little alum on there, it's going to dry that out even quicker. Let's talk about what
One of these guys wears a hat like me. What's his name? Quaker Oat. Yeah
But one thing that it is really good for, and that time of year it's coming up pretty quick
Oh my gosh, mate, the wind got it again. It's so good for mosquito bites, wasp bites, anything like that, that you've got an insect bite
So to do this, all you really need is about a tablespoon of them good Quaker Oats
Mix your little hot water with it and just make it to where it's supposed
You can put that right on that bug bite, wrap it up with saran wrap, cover it with a towel, leave it on there
It really works well for any kind of bug bite. One thing, folks, that I found out too, and my brother is diabetic
and he's always telling me you've got to keep them numbers down, keep that A1C down
Well, a thing that really helps him and a thing that we love to eat more than anything, and sometimes it's just okra
Now I'm not talking about breaded and fried it. I'm just talking about using a little olive oil, put it in your skillet, brown it up really good
Me and Shan eat it all the time, but it will help lower that A1C in a hurry
One thing that happens to me every once in a while, and I get it on occasion, and that is gout
Now a gout is high, something that's really high in your body that is uric acid, which is taking place, and it can be a lot painful
It even feels like a bed sheet weighs 70 pounds or thicker than it does, but I found something that really helps that
and I always go to it when I have a little battle with gout, and that is just straight cherries
I really like to go ahead and mash them up a little bit and then eat them
because I think you're going to get some more out of it than just chewing it. But if you'll eat about, I'd say, a fourth of a cup of cherries morning and night, it'll help you with that gout
I got to paying attention to these people that was on this Mediterranean diet for a while, and them folks are healthy
I mean, what is it really? Good, healthy oil, and that is good, healthy olive oil
I go over there to the cabinet, and I take me a little old shot of olive oil
Now sure, you can use it to cook with, but there's a lot of times, folks, I'm not cooking
So I take about a tablespoonful every day. It really helps. It's good for your cholesterol. It is a great thing
Well, we thank you all for stopping by, and hope you really enjoyed these cookies, cures, and homemade remedies we are
Be sure to check out that first video because, folks, there is a lot of great tips in it there is
I want to always tell you, too, there's a time and there's a place for real medicine
If you need to go to the doctor, I'm not telling you don't go, but, folks, one of the best things I think you can do
to maybe prevent this before it ever gets so bad is with these natural remedies, these cures that have been passed down from generation to generation
I'm just telling you, these have been tried, tested, and true, and they always work for us
Everything we use today will be listed down there in the little links below
We thank you all so much for watching, but it is with great pride and honor and always a privilege to salute all our servicemen and women
and all the veterans who have kept that old flag of flying over town. The rest of you, come on in here. I'm going to get you really good and close because we're all healthy. We can hug tight
God bless you, each and every one, and I'll figure out how I'm going to feel better shortly
Plus, also, cowboys, chickens, and feeding better. Nature, we don't like to hear them
Getting better, staying better. What mother not think remember Mother Nature? I can't, you know what, I can't hear you talk
Can you not? No. Why? Because it's in there. Well, that's probably a blessing for you, ain't it
Isn't it? I'm going to change the summer photoshoot. What? It's so awesome
So, I like to act like, oh, you're laughing, and you're getting your tan, and then the sun is going to come out
