There is a book that I saw in someone's home about twenty years ago, called Old-Fashioned Health Remedies That Work Best: Low Cost Natural Time-Tested Health Boosters You Can Use at Home for Successful Self-Care by L. L. Schneider.

I never even opened it, and have no idea if it's any good.

But they have it used at Amazon:
