Salt is good for most fungal and bacterial infections in their early stages. Raising the temperature and adding a pinch of salt is useful in treating nipped fins, fin rot etc.
Methylene blue is a disinfectant.
Metrogyl and Praziquintal are good medications for internal parasitic related ailments.

Anti ICH of Rid all contains Piperazine and Methylene blue.

I think Common salt and Epsom salt can cure most the diseases. However a medical kit including the medicine list as mentioned by Rajivjee is must for all keepers.
