HEALTH - ~ 10 Surprising Home Remedies

Don't like running out to the doctor for every little thing that ails
you? Who can blame you? A trip to the doctor can be costly, not to
mention timeconsuming.
If you are in a hurry, want to save a little money, or just want to
try something different, here are ten home remedies that you might not
have known about.
...
1.Have an ear ache? Try castoroil! Dip a cotton ball in castor oil,
then pour a few drops from the cotton ball into the infected ear. The
castor oil is supposed to help draw out the infection and in turn
relieve the pain.
2.Bothered by a blister? Try dabbing mouthwash on it three times
daily. Mouthwash is an antiseptic and will help dry out a blister.
3.Hopping mad about hiccups? Chase them away with a spoonful of sugar!
A teaspoon of dry granulated sugar helps to stimulate the vagus nerve,
resetting the diaphragm and stopping hiccups.
4.Bad breath bugging you? The live bacteria found in yogurt can help
to dissolve bad breath issues. Simply add a daily serving of yogurt to
your diet.
5.Aches and pains got you down? Try taking an Epsom Salt bath.
Dissolve two cups ofEpsom Salt in your bath water and soak for twelve
minutes. If the pain is localized in a hand or foot, you can add one
cup to a gallon of warm waterin a basin and just soak the affected
area.
6.Can't beat cold feet? Try sprinkling a little cayenne pepper in your
socks! It is believed that cayenne has a natural warming effect, and
can help to get your blood flowing.
7.Hollering about hemorrhoids? Witch hazel is anatural astringent
which can help to contract the skin and blood vessels back to normal
size. Alone, it can dry out the skin, so apply it with Vaseline or a&d
ointment.
8.Steaming over a sore throat? Licorice may be your answer! The sweet
root contains a natural coating agent which can help ease the pain of
throat inflammation.
9.Nervous about a nose bleed? If pinching your nose isn't stopping it,
try nasal spray. Most emergency room visits for nosebleeds are treated
successfully with oxymetazoline, which just so happens to be the
decongestant found in common OTC nasal sprays. Simply tilt your head
forward and blow your nose clear, then use the nasal spray normally,
and pinch the soft part of your nose closed for ten minutes.
10.Duct tape fixes everything,and warts are no exception! Apply a
small piece of duct tape to a wart every three days, removing the duct
tape ad filing the wart with pumice stone in between. One study has
shown that it is 25% more effective than freezing!
