For sore throat

“For a sore throat there is a remedy that comes from within: drinking human urine, although no more than a spoonful, along with stretching the neck in every direction and rubbing it. And turpentine is also used for a sore throat: one swallows a spoonful and also rubs it on the neck, and then the area is wrapped in a woolen kerchief overnight.”
