Photographer Karin Berndl and art director Nici Hofer created a book that showcases traditional home remedies for common illnesses including fever, cough, constipation, flatulence, and fatigue.
Titled Vinegar Socks, the book offers homemade Austrian treatments as alternative therapies to common ailments.
Here are some of the favorite recipes they shared with The Daily Mail UK.
Vinegar Socks for Fever
Ingredients
500 ml (17 fl. oz/2 cups) cool water
1–2 tablespoons vinegar
1 pair of long, woolly socks
Fill a bowl with cool water then add vinegar. Soak the socks in the solution and wring them out slightly. Wear it over your feet and calves. Replace the socks with a freshly soaked pair if the patient’s temperature doesn’t go down after five minutes. If the patient’s feet or hands are cold or if he or she starts shivering, remove the socks.
