There are two local remedies/beliefs from Nepal and Bangladesh that stick in my mind.
In Bangladesh they think that if you eat pineapple and drink milk together you will die. So no more pineapple milkshakes, smoothies, lassis... This doesn't seem to be true as I've tried it and am still alive.
In Nepal if you have an upset stomach you take ground black pepper in hot water. You have to drink it before the water cools down and it has to be quite strong. Maybe it's the shock of the taste but this actually works. They have a proverb here "preaching and medicine - both are bitter".
