- After getting caught in the rain Ron has developed a fever, purging, the chills, a headache, a body ache, and weakness. It's a good thing that Justine is here to torture him back to health like usual.

In real life poor Ron was very sick when this video was shot and he was freezing laying on the cold floor but he is doing much better today :)
That's awful. He didn't have to do that.
I hope you feel better Ron. You looked terribly sick
I thought he looked a little pale and gaunt .So glad that he's feeling better !
Terrifically bad cold going around along with the plague. We were sick for days, and felt low for weeks after. Many hot drinks, soups, and rest were had!
Aww no poor guy.
Women, Nurturing, Gathering, Loving,,,,,,,,,,,. Angels of Mercy......Not Sure we (Men) could survive without These Angels.
“Mustard bath? You’re going to make me into a soup, aren’t you.” 😂🤣😄 Poor Ron. How can he be so funny when he was so sick. So glad he is feeling better. This video made me laugh so hard, honestly, it was hilarious.
Justine- Next time Ron has a cold or a deep cough, you can make him a "mustard plaster" and yes, its period correct. Grind up some mustard seed into a powder and add about half as much flour. Mix on hot water, a little at a time until the mixture resembles pancake batter. Lay a clean cloth flat and spread this mixture on 1/2 of the towel, pulling the other side of fabric over the paste. Lay your patient on either his back or his front and lay the pasted fabric on the chest of the back. Leave on about 30 minutes. Repeat as needed. So glad Ron is doing much better.
In your own stores there, do you keep many wild herbs? Elderberry cough syrup is also PC as is mullin. Peace out!
best line of the video
I was cracking up with poor Ron. But I totally lost it with the scene of Justine laying on the floor with cinnamon sticks up her nose right after she said she was fine 😂 So grateful for Tylenol now!!!
I’m sorry y’all were sick but I couldn’t help but crack up when Ron asked “Do I look ok?” With cinnamon sticks up his nose!😂Justine was trying not to crack up too!😂❤️
I can't stop laughing 😂😂😂
@@moniqua9123 After Justine fell down and they cut to her, now laid out herself with cinnamon sticks up her nose, I died!☠️⚰️😂😂😂
I'm gone, i'm cracking up, can't stop laughing !!!!! bahahahaha Sorry ur sick, but u guys have me laughing !!
It is better to look good than to feel good!
The fact that our ancestors mostly survived shows the resiliency of tough frontier people.
Get well
I had German ancestors that made their way to Iowa via Covered Wagons to become farmers. The same farmland for many generations. YEP, stilled used an outhouse up into the 1930's according to my mom.
"mostly". People died in their 40s from cholera. Entire households died.
Look up thieves oil. Thieves would dip their "Bandana" into the concoction & wear it around their faces if they went into a house where people had died.
The original use was for cleaning. Eucalyptus, mint and other herbs.
@@lynnodonnell4764 Believe it or not, there were some families who still used outhouses up into the 1950s.
@@susangarman9561 a young supervisor I had 11 years ago (he was late 20's) told me he grew up in extreme poverty and wo a modern flush toilet, only an outhouse.
I so agree.
When I heard Ron speak and saw his flushed cheeks and eyes I could tell he wasn't acting at being sick. I hope you both feel better real soon. Yes, sweat it out Justine that is the best thing for you. My thoughts are with you both x
Mycrazynan…that is the absolute truth! ❤
I hope you both recover quick! I learned to make a mustard plaster when I was a new bride. My husbands Grandmother tought me. I think she was born in the late 1890s You took a couple tablespoons of flour and a couple tablespoons of mustard powder and add super hot water to make a paste. Spread the hot paste on an old tea towel wrap the towel into thirds. The mustard will stain the towel so be sure it’s something you never plan to use again. Then wrap that into a old towel. Put it on the affected chest. It basically keeps the chest really warm for a long time. Then you drank a couple hot Toddies made with lots of booze to forget how awful you feel.
I’m surprised anyone lived back then! We’re taking resilient people for sure!! This was informative and hilarious at the same time! I don’t know if I’d have been able to perform it without laughing. Great job you two!! 😂😂
Took us about 10 times to do it without laughing 😃
My Nana made mustard plaster when we were young. Thick and pasty she smeared it on a cloth and laid it on our chest. She would add mint to it to also help open nasal passages. Cinnamon and barley tea was another thing she would do with a touch of brandy or rock and rye. Gee it felt like I stepped back in time to Nana's home. Thanks and I truly hope Ron and you feel better.
Looks like Blackadder with pencils up his nose and underpants on his head.
My house in Old Town Alexandria, VA was built in 1820. I often think and wonder of how the first owners lived.
Thank you for this and take good care.
I love that area. So beautiful.
“Does it look okay?” 😂😂😂 I’m very sorry Ron was sick, but that line made me laugh!
made me laugh too! I hope Ron feels better soon.
Turn him into a soup! 😂Oh goodness.
Me too...
My German grandmother used to simmer sliced onions in honey. When the onions were very soft she would use the syrup for coughs and sore throat. You can strain the syrup into a jar.
My mother made something similar, she called it onion tea!
@@mandabean.2405 garlic simmered in olive oil is great for ear infections.
Yes! It works! Small children are hard to give it to so you can chop an onion and pour hot water on it and place the bowl close to the child. Be careful when the water is hot so that the child doesn’t burn it self. It’s the fumes that stop the coughs.
Yes, onion tea!
Without a doubt one of the best videos I've seen on TH-cam! The image of Ron with mustard plaster on his forehead leaning back with the cinamman sticks up his nose is priceless. Their willingness to live real is si much fun to watch. Glad you are getting better
Justine, you really have a rare talent. I think this has been my favorite one so far. How much does Ron love you to stick cinnamon sticks up his nose on your say so!
"Trust me, I know what I'm doing. I read it in a book!" 😂
This is too cute!!! The cut away to Justine on the floor with the cinnamon sticks up her nose was too funny!!👊❤❤❤
It warmed my heart to see the two of you helping each other through the grippe. Get well soon, my dears.
My mother used to make me a hot mustard plaster for coughing and bronchitis. Worked well. Hot chicken soup and tea with honey. Get well Ron I hope Justine feels better fast 🙏
Mustard player on the chest worked for my mom as a child when she had pneumonia
I had mustard plasters when I was little too. Works well. Just don't get it on your skin!
What is a mustard plaster?
@@cher3093 my mother would take an old pillow case. She then mixed flour hot water and mustard powder Making a paste. She would put the paste on the pillow case and top it with saran wrap then fold over the bottom of the pillow case. That would cover my chest with a towel over. It gets very warm. Helps break up congestion.
@@karenhummel49 so it just gets hot?
An electric heat pad would accomplish the same.
Guess those plasters would also work for back pain or even menstrual cramps/pain
The love I see in that room will cure any illness..Bless you both hope ron is feeling better
try honey n lemon in tea, or in a spoon. hot lemon n honey tea is a very old remedy, honey is not just a natural sweetener it is also a natural antibiotic used for sickness n wounds.
Justine, take the mint leaves and cinnamon sticks and ginger candy and water to make a hot tea for him. Or add fresh ginger and lemon with the other ingredients to make a hot tea for Ron to drink and get better. Some fresh garlic and water to make a hot tea helps too. Feel better Ron and Justine.
Dear Justine, In the Soviet Union, we used mustard plaster in the 1980s when I was a child. It was bought at a pharmacy. Plasters were applied to the chest and back for a few minutes. (that is, closer to the lungs). this is an irritant that should cause a rush of blood, and strengthen the fight of the immune system against the disease. They are not applied to the head.
Yes! Mustard plaster takes me right back to my Soviet childhood too :)) Wonder if Justine is going to use cupping, another popular home remedy from those times.
They used that in America too, until allopathic medicine took over in the 1930s and declared everything else "quackery." Boiling citrus peel, pith and all, for several hours and then drinking the water sweetened maybe with some honey, is a powerful cure.
Mustard plaster is still used. In fact, I used one this past Winter when I had a bronchitis.
@@charlottekey8856 gonna try this next time someone in my family has congestion - thank you!
@Sara V. what is YMMV?
It is amazing how these “old wives tale” natural tricks have been used for centuries and still work flawlessly today. Maybe we need to go to back to these remedies. They seem so much healthier. Love y’all’s videos Ron and Justine! This was so sweet to see y’all taking care of each other❤️
It will go to go back to like that when the when the power goes out and you don't have it no more you will be back like that making candles like she does and all the stuff she's doing it's coming to that
Yes, we can't just ignore old wives tales and old old remedies. Some are harmful (putting butter on burns seals the heat in--not good) but some are helpful. We just need to figure out which ones work, and why. Also, anything consumed can interact with other ingested medications, so we gotta watch out for that
The secret is - only strongest survived:) that's it. Millions dyed from simple illnesses

@@msjadhav5192 If you lived past childhood and childbirth (women) and war (men) and the plague du jour, you were pretty much guaranteed to live to 70+. So, yeah there are some good things about the bygone eras which we have forgotten, but there was a lot of crap that no one should have to deal with and it's a good thing we don't have to
I’m dying 🤣🤣with the cinnamon sticks 🤣All of them he says 😂
The timing of this video is crazy! This week I'm home sick with Covid. Thank you for making me laugh when Ron was putting the cinnamon cloves in his nose. I hope we all feel better soon. 🤒
I hope u feel better we had in Nov.
Feel better. I had it over Christmas 🎄
Hope you feel better fast. We are finally over it. Still have no taste or smell.
@@karenhummel49 How long has it been? My taste and smell went away last night.
@@bettyjoelauper Thank you 💖
Mistress Justine, if you make a plaster with the ground mustard seeds you will find it helpful in relieving the congestion in his chest. It is also helpful with easing sore muscles.
I know a Japanese woman who drinks barley water tea every day in the winter! Her health is very good.
I need to get barley....
Mustard poultice on the chest to clear the lungs and bring down a fever. Lol, remembering the boiled onion bath from "Where the Lilies Bloom".
This was still sort of "the humors" - heat draws out heat, and heats up the body too. Like spicy stuff to get the circulation going.
That barley water looked mucilaginous (kinda slippery) too, good for a cough and sore throat.
Poor Ron, get well!
awe, Justine is such a good caregiver to you Ron, your a lucky guy, a little stubborn but she has a good heart :)
It takes the two of you to care for one another in sickness and in health. A well oiled machine I'd say! Xo another great vid
Laughter is the best medicine, so thank you, I feel so much better!
Any illness is awful. Sending lots of sympathy and well wishes for a speedy recovery 🌈
thank you!
That is a beautiful, loving embrace! I think Ron is in good hands !!
Oh my. Ron I hope you feel better soon. Justine will fix you up fast. Get that mustard plaster on him. My granma swore by it. It worked to . So did that honey and whiskey and lemon mixture.😉😉
Wishing you a speedy recovery Ron and you too Justine, you're a real Florence Nightingale xxx
Poor guy, and Justine too. Hopefully just colds. Prayers for you both 🙏
I think it must have been frightening to fall ill in those days, and frightening for the loved ones as well. Place on top of that being isolated... . I'm not sure about putting cinnamon sticks up your nose, but ginger syrup is very good to use; especially if you add fresh lemon and honey. Not sure about the mustard plaster and bath. I think back then they were still operating on the idea of the four humors. The barley water is actually very nutritious and gentle on grumpy bowels. I don't think I could survive a cold without oranges, tylenol and chicken soup. And I can't imagine being ill with a stomach flu with no indoor plumbing. I feel like such a princess after watching this. Hope you two feel better soon.
“You’re going to turn me into soup aren’t you?” 😂😂
"Satan's own privy..." I can relate to that. Love the way you say "I read it in a book." It could become the channel's motto.
As always I love what you produce - fascinating and rewarding to all who watch. Thanks, Justine and Ron.👍
It's the equivalent to today's, "I saw it on TH-cam.'
Yeah i lol when she said that. Although, if she had an orange I think she would share with ron
I got a kick out of when Justine kept saying "I read it in a book!" Lol...😆
@@lindatabler9687 😄
We did mustard packs when we were little. Take mustard powder and make a paste. Put it between 2 pieces of cloth and put it on the chest with a towel over it. It naturally heats up. We would put camphor on and then the mustard pack. Opens the air ways.
I hope all is well soon. My little family has been I'll this past week or so. No fun at all. I do think a picture of you both with cinnamon sticks up your noses would make a great Christmas card. 😁
No!! Ron is sick?! The poor man :(. Good thing you're there for him Justine, he will be right as rain (pun intended) quickly with you taking care of him. Edit: I sent this message before seeing the actual video. I hope you get better soon too Justine! Oh boy the both of you are a pair, wishing you both a speedy recovery!!
Please take care of yourself and each other. Much love from Washington state. Please be safe.
“Trust me….I know what I’m doing. I read it in a book”! LOL!! Our Drs at the hospital say this and just laugh😂😂😂
The amount of knowledge that has been forgotten is amazing! They knew how to do so much, including taking care of the sick. Great job you guys!
Willow bark tea, pine pitch, burdock etc...there are dozens of very effective wild medicines.
I wasn't expecting Ron to be really sck !! What a trooper to give us this video when he obviousreally sick !! So interesting and sad to see how it really was back in the early days !! Justine keep reaing those books !!
She is so caring you are both lucky having each other
You melted my heart the love and concern you have for each other. ❤
You could just take a look at Ron and tell he's sick for real and I know laying on that cold floor wasn't doing him any good. Thanks for doing the video but it could've waited. Ron and Justine you're real troopers. I think the mustard is supposed to go on your chest? The cinnamon sticks up your noses cracked me up 🤣 Along with Justine kept saying " I read it in a book"
Ron is sick but he still has a sense of humor
Yeah, I loved the whole thing! She kept saying "Trust me! I read it in a book!!" Lol.....🤣🤣🤣
😂🤣
It's the 1820s equivalent of "I saw it on the internet" 😂 Poor Ron - a very sick guinea pig!
Oh gosh, I hope you are both doing well! I just had the omicron for 3 weeks and I can really relate to how awful you feel!
Take care and God bless!
I was always taught to put mustard plasters on the chest for a chest cold.
Cinnamon is very hot and can burn skin but it is great in a tea with ginger and
this is hilarious timing! my husband and I are both recently down sick, I don't think I will be putting cinnamon sticks up my nose though! LOL
come on! Be a sport ! 🤣
I might put some in my tea though!
Pine needle tea would give Ron that vitamin c boost he needs
GOD BLESS and heal you both
God bless you Justine, for knowing how to Care for Ron ❤️❤️❤️
Holy moly! Ron is sick. 😢
Being out in the rain…..
I can’t wait until this is on.
Oh no! its awful feeling sick. I have just come out of a bout of not feeling too well myself so i can relate. Get better Ron and Justine. We love you!!! And thank you for putting this together even though you not feeling well. Professionals to the end.
Everything that Justine tried to do to keep him from getting sick was to no avail. A change of clothes, warm blankets, a nice warm fire, and a warm drink could not stave off the cold that was coming. Ron you stay in bed and do everything that Justine tells you to do. You’re both so lucky to have each other.
The two of you and your approach at presenting real-time historical living is absolutely SENSATIONAL !! ❤💞❤
Actually all of it is very helpful in tea’s like ginger which soothes tummy and is an antiviral. Mustard makes a great poultice to put on the chest for cough and congestion. I still use these when my family is sick. Candied ginger helps upset tummy as does candies dried papaya. Many different teas help different health issue’s and fever.
Feel better soon, healing prayers from Pennsylvania coming your way!
This looks like me doctoring a friend a few weeks ago, only I used rice water for his stomach. Made echinacea tea with mint. Next day he was fine.
My grandma used to make heating pads with mustard seeds, she kept them near wood stove to make them warm when we were ill and gave them to our bedsheets for the night. Hope you both will get well soon. Thank you for making content for us even when you should fully take care for yourself ❤️
Justine, you are a 19th century Hermione Granger - I read it in a book! Being book smart is good, as long as the book is right! But most of the household and home making books of your day had good sensible information!
I’m so sorry I laughed so hard. Both of you have a wonderful sense of humour. I so enjoy these videos.
Poor Ron looks sick IRL!! What a good sport for doing this and thankfully Justine is a good lady for taking care of you. I think in this day in age, we need to go back to more natural remedies for colds, etc. Hope you both feel well soon.
Yes, Ron IS actually sick with cold or this plague in real life, so it was easy for him to portray someone who would have been ill in that time period.
And he and Justine are very good sports, to be suffering like this, and STILL making their video.
I know I wouldn't be able to do it, as I'm just awful when I get sick, (which is often, due to having several chronic illnesses) and it isn't pretty. Lol
I don't know if Justine is really ill or just acting, as she didn't say, (I think she might really be ill as well).
I almost split a gut when you put that cinnamon up his nose 🤣🤣🤣🤣
Prayers for a speedy recovery for you both! 🙏
When it panned to her with the cin. sticks up her nose we roared with laughter here. You guys are great.
Hope Ron is better now. Looks like Justine did everything she could to make him better. What a team. Keep the videos coming. Ron you are a trooper to do this video while you were really sick.
Willow bark the inside part of it where it is still green, fresher the better. pound to a paste
and make a "tea" of it. something like 1 part bark to 5 parts water.
it has been a long time so don't quote me on that.
but it is a good remedy for headache and body pains
Lol I am enjoying this one. I am a retired nurse. Cinnamon sticks is a real attractive look for you Ron. Lol Mustard and Cinnamon. You guys did a good job. 😊
When your that sick you'll try just about anything to feel better. I hope that it worked for you both,I thought it was to funny though when Ron said "are going to turn me into a soup".
The alchohol will make you sweat the fever, lemon honey and hot tea helps the throat. I'm not sure what ginger does. The mint tea helps you breath, however you can boil it and breath in the steam that helps to. Good luck and I'm praying God's many blessings and grace for you both.
Yep. Wipe alcohol on palm and feet and get worm. You have to worm and make blood circulate in vessels vessels
Ginger helps with nausea and stomach upset.
@@bernadineweber4382 does it still work? If so how do I fix it?
Ginger is also an anti-inflammatory, along with green tea.
@@August84118 thank you I need anti- inflammatory for bad arthritis.
I love this channel! It's so interesting! ❤️ The cinnamon sticks cracked me up. 😂
Cinnamon sticks (and orange peel) in the nose…. That was hilarious! Hope you got well pretty quick. I could tell Ron was really sick. Yikes. My favorite thing is when Justine says, “I read it in a book” as if that makes it fact. This is my favorite show! 🤣❤️
You guys are the best!!
I am more into this channel than I've ever been into anything before.
Being bought up on a farm in the country in the early 90s, I see similarity, although nowhere near as basic. The fire was the heart of the home.
Keep up the great cooking too!
Welcome aboard!
Mustard proteus. On the chest. It does have benefits. Yep mama caught it too. Good that you showed Ron how you both have to be partners in life. Great video
Great video! That pot with the barley water in it looks a little…. Well ya know!
Our poor,poor pioneers,so brave and strong. Unfortunately we all fall I'll from time to time. May God bless you both. I've had cold myself,getting better everyday though. 🙂💞Love to you both.
Prayers for you both. Get well soon and God bless 💖💖
A tea made from dried mullein leaves is supposed to be good for coughs.
You two remind me of Eugene and I, We met and fell in love in Honolulu in 2013. But by unforeseen circumstances we are separate from each other right now. Your video capture's make the time spent apart from each other more bearable. I love how you two are always thanking each other. God bless you both with joy, abundance, and all of the good things that our creator bestows.
The look on her face when she tells him they need to go up his nose... Priceless. Love this channel. So informative.
I hope you both get well soon. I was sick after Christmas I had the same stuff. It's took me almost 2 weeks to get better
"I read it in a book"...It's called Arsenic and Old Lace. ha ha Just playing
"I have more in store for you". Run Ron!!! Run!!!!!
Yes, the real life struggles are the best videos . Thank you for them. Heavy snow winter has gotten me down. Headache.....January 12, 2024.. God Bless
Aww no! I hope Justine can get some oranges for her cold cure she used on Lucy
😂😂😂 you r too funny
No oranges. But you guessed it right
@@lydiabond5393 🤣🍊
@@WaiferThyme if I could have afforded oranges they'd be up in Ron's nose as we speak!
@@EarlyAmerican hahahahaha 🍊🍊🍊👃
You guys do a great job. I really enjoy your videos.
Adoro a esta pareja ,pronta mejoría Ron y Justine , abrazo grande para ambos 🙏💞
Feeling better Ron and Justin. We love you guys. 🇺🇸🥰
They take such good care of each other !!😘😘
I love how concerned you both were for each other. so much love in this video!! 💗💗
I'm currently getting over covid! Thank you for video! Much love get better!
Thank you I hope that you recover quickly and 100%! Take care.
Remember how they used to make mustard plaster? I think it was to treat congestion and draw out toxins if I remember.
Bless both of your hearts. You guys are such a sweet and loving couple. ❤❤
I am so sorry Ron is so sick.... Thank you Justine your a very good woman to take care of Ron
This is the funniest thing you guys have ever done! How the heck did you both keep a straight face? It’s the message to Ron at the end, absolutely hilarious!❤❤
When that camera…cut to justine with those cinnamon sticks up her nose…I could not help but bust out laughing. 😂That is just excellent editing. I REALLY LOVED this video! So sweet and such good learnings! Thank you! ❤
