Seaweed as a natural cough remedy.
The knowledge that this lovely Irish woman holds is priceless! The information she shares with her audience reminds me of my motherland where I grew up (Russia Rostov-on-Don.) Back in those days people didn’t run to the doctor each time they had a cold or some other minor issue. People knew about natural remedies. And it’s not like just certain people knew about this knowledge, all knew about it. It was an awareness among the people, knowledge passed down from the ancestors. I was just a small child back then, but I can remember a few of the natural remedies. Every Russian person knows about using raspberries in hot tea, together with lemon and honey for things like sore throat, or cough.

This is another natural remedy that comes to mind when I’m thinking about my childhood and what my parents used on me, and my siblings when we were sick

This is another one for congested chest or a cough. My parents boiled potatoes, and let me breathe in the steam

No wonder why I love my sunflower seeds. It’s the favourite snack for Russians. Every Russian neighbourhood has babushkas sitting on benches eating sunflower seeds, and gossiping about everybody.

Even Vladimir Putin and Dmitry Medvedev can't resist the overcoming love for sunflower seeds which exists in the heart of every Russian.

On Telegram

Today I wanted to browse various channels, but stumbled across a recurring message:

'Access to this channel is not allowed with a version of Telegram from the Google Play Store!'

Alright, so Google is censoring third-party apps.

The solution: remove Telegram, if you have it from Google Play Store!
Get your application 🔗directly from Telegram as APK!

Installation is easy.

Also consider to get other applications as APK outside of Googles service. For example: Brave, Protonmail,...

I know it’s not supposed to be funny, but it is.

#Hiisi is a sacred place among the Baltic Finnic peoples. In pre-Christian times the word meant a burial ground and / or cult site, such as a sacred grove.

Toponyms containing the word hiisi are relatively common in Southern Finland and Estonia, and are usually found in the vicinity of ancient settlements, hill-forts, burial grounds, and fields of prehistoric agrarian communities, with the actual hiisi being at the center of the community — in every sense of the word.

According to cultural historian Veikko Litzen, the hiisi-toponyms (seen on the map) in Pertteli show that during the early days of Christianity in Finland, this community was divided into two factions: the Christians, whose village center later became the site of the local church, and the Pagans, whose life continued to revolve around the hiisi.

Typically churches were built on top of or right next to the hiisi, but not in Pertteli. The hiisi is some 5 kilometers from the church.
