Healthy Habits from the olden days

So frequently health practices become obsolete in the days of modern medicine. I know that with alternative medicine that may not be the case, however I was reading about cradle cap at the Health Forum and correlated that the same oil techniques that my own mother used on me are still in practice today. I started thinking of what other practices are still in use and which are debunked. One debunked wives tale is that you can’t shave with a razor on your face or it will grow back thicker. I’m glad this was finally proven wrong.
