The loyal spud. There is some medical evidence that suggests it can help relieve arthritis pain and maybe even cure it. Here's the full article anyways.
The potato is a cheap and homely remedy against arthritis, gout, scurvy, and rickets.
Dr. Lambe tells how he cured a case of scurvy solely with raw potatoes. One of the favourite dishes of that good old doctor was a salad composed of sliced raw potatoes and olive oil. In order to preserve the medicinal properties of potatoes when cooked, they must always be steamed in their jackets. The skin may be removed before eating, but care should be taken not to allow a particle of the potato to adhere to it. The valuable potash salts chiefly lie just underthe skin.
A raw potato scraped or powdered to a pulp is an excellent remedy for burns and scalds.
Dr. Fernie recommends the following decoction with which to bathe the swollen and inflamed joints of rheumatic sufferers. Take 1 lb. potatoes, cut each into four, but do not peel them. Boil in 2 pints of water until stewed down to 1 pint. Strain, and use the liquid for bathing the swollen joint.
Eaten to excess potatoes are apt to cause dullness and laziness - so don't eat too much of it!
