A funny home remedy I tried from the old Foxfire series of books was that a teaspoon of peanut butter will stop the hiccups! It's always worked for us.
All my life I always heard that if you sneak up behind someone with the hiccups and poke your fingers in their ribs and yell "Boo".. it will stop their hiccups..
I have never seen that remedy work on the hiccups..... HOWEVER... !!!
I do have first hand knowledge that sneaking up behind someone, poking your fingers in their ribs while yelling "BOO" ... definitely will cure constipation ...
Never mind how I know... just trust me on this...

TWO CENTS WORTH
The story goes that a man died and was approached by the Devil who told him that he could buy his soul back for a dollar. The man searched his pockets and could only come up with 98 cent. While begging the Devil to forget the two cent he was short, an Angel happened by and hearing the Devil laughing, asked the man, "Would you mind if I put in my two cents ?" The Devil got so mad that he exploded in a puff of smoke and the man's soul was saved. The moral: Sometimes putting in your two cents worth makes a difference.

According to the Foxfire books, if a person had a tapeworm all you had to do was to starve your self for several days and then get a bowl of warm milk, hold it close to your nose, and progressively move it away from your body.
According to the book the tapeworm would follow the aroma of the warm milk, when it started to crawl out of your body, all you had to do was to grab it and pull it the rest of the way out, then dispose of it.
I do not know if this remedy works, but it was printed in the Foxfire book series. The book said that it works.

Think I'd just keep the tapeworm.

For sore throat... mix honey and lemon juice together and warm .. then give a teaspoon per dose as needed ... some folks also add a little bit of booze to it to make you sleepy ...
Stop buying that expensive "Body Wash" and use the same shampoo that you wash your hair with to wash your whole body..I've been doing that for over forty years.. works just as good as that so-called body wash stuff and is whole lot cheaper..
Stop buying "Bar" soaps... use liquid soap ... Bar soap is made with things that will solidify and stick to the sides of the drain pipes and the walls of the RV's holding tanks...
This sticky residue makes stuff like hair, dirt, skin cells, etc... stick to the walls of the drain pipes which is the cause of many clogged pipes and is what makes that awful stink.
Stop buying single-ply toilet paper.. it cost 4 times more than two-ply.. and will NOT harm your RV's sewer system.
When shopping, look for the "Day Old" counter where yesterday's breads and rolls are and look for "Dated" meats that are close to the expiration date and have been marked down in price...
Both of these can be frozen and used later..
I have to laugh when I hear people say that they would never buy "Stale" bread...
I ask them ..."Do you buy a fresh loaf of bread every morning and throw it away every night.. or do you keep a loaf of bread until it is used up before you buy another loaf.."
I always get a "Blank Stare" from them while they think about what I asked..... some people... sheeezeeee....

I was out shopping one day, accompanied with 7 year Grand Daughter, I stopped in at the day old bread store and bought a few items. When we got home, DW asked where we got the bread. Grand daughter answered and said, "Papa and I went by the USED BREAD store on the way home."

A sinus nettipot or rinse bottle works great for stuufed nose and sinus pain relief. You only buy the kit once and it just uses tap water and saline solution. Beats nasal sprays.
