medical problem, you should go to your family doctor. But there are many
solutions to your health problems that you can find around your house!
I’d love to share with you some alternative health methods of solving
simple health problem with things that are commonly found around your
house. This section is dedicated to sharing ideas of what you can do for
yourself and your family to help prevent colds and flues, and other
simple ailments that may help to reduce your pain, discomfort and much
more. If you have a home remedy that you would LOVE to share…I’d love
to post it on my site to share with others.
You have a first-degree burn Putting ice on your burn cuts circulation, and you need healthy blood cells for healing. Instead, expel excess heat by running cool water over the burn for several minutes, then cut an onion in half and let it rest on the wound. Onions contain a mild analgesic. Another method is using tomato's which contains lycopene, a natural anti-inflammatory, so it calms inflamed skin. And the wetness of the tomato juice helps draw some of the liquid out of the burn, reducing swelling. Slice a large tomato and apply pieces to damaged skin. Leave on for five minutes, then remove, letting the remaining juices fully dry on skin. Once dry, rinse skin with cool water. Repeat twice daily until discomfort ends. Toe Nail Fungus
Some products on the market take many months to stop the infection - some have adverse side affects!

You have a sliver
Light a candle and pour melted wax on your hand, and let the wax harden, then peel it off. This should free the more stubborn pieces. Then use the sticky side of duct tape or roll a lint brush over the area to pick up any stragglers. Gently, of course.
You feel like being sick
Sailors swear by ginger to suppress seasickness and general nausea. But there's an acupuncture trick that works just as well if you're feeling queasy. Find the pressure point "pericardium number six": From the heel of your palm, measure three finger widths toward your elbow. In the center of the wrist area, tape a golf ball snug against that point, and your stomach should calm down.
You have
A Urinary-Tract Infection
You
have a
Scrape or Gash You can also use tea bags. The tannic acid in tea has an astringent effect, prompting blood vessels to constrict more quickly, which slows the flow of blood. Using light pressure, hold a cool (not warm) tea bag against the cut for one minute. Rinse, then cover with a bandage. You have a Skin Blister The skin under a blister is already growing in a sterile environment, so popping it won't speed the recovery. You need to keep bacteria away and the bubble intact. Apply an antibiotic ointment like Neosporin, and then protect it with a bandage.
You
have a Side Stitch You have a Razor Nick Clean and apply pressure to the cut, then wipe the top of your antiperspirant with a tissue, swipe the fresh stick with a Q-tip, and dab some onto the nick. "The aluminum chloride in deodorant can help close the nick. You have a Sore throat Gargle with warm salt water (1/4 teaspoon of salt top ½ cup of water) and do this several times a day. Also you can drink a glass of hot water with one teaspoon of lemon juice with some honey. You’ll feel better almost instantly
You
have low energy Even persistent, heavy, deep coughing will stop in about five minutes and stay stopped for many, many hours of relief.
Cough
medicines in kids often do more harm than good due to the chemical
makeup of these strong drugs, but Vicks vapor rub on the bottom of the
feet was found to be more effective than prescribed medicines for
children and in addition to a soothing and calming effect on sick
children they will go on to sleep cough-free for hours every night.
Blisters are
caused by skin rubbing against your shoes, and are made worse by
sweating. Deodorant works on your feet just like it does under your
arms: It stops sweat glands from producing sweat.
Before heading out, roll deodorant—any kind will do—on your soles. Aspirin is made of salicylic acid, a potent anti-inflammatory that can reduce pain and itching. Crush three aspirin and add a few drops of water—enough to make a paste. Apply mixture to the bite. Leave on for two minutes, then rinse with cool water. Repeat twice daily until pain and itching stop. Remove warts with duct tape Experts found this remedy could clear warts in two months. There are a few theories about how it works. One is that duct tape irritates warts, causing an immune system reaction that attacks them. Another is that the tape removes the virus-laden skin cells. Apply a piece of tape that's the same size as the wart and leave on for six days. (If tape falls off, replace ASAP.) Remove tape after the six days and clean area with soap and water; leave tape off overnight. In the morning, reapply tape, keep on for five days and repeat until wart disappears. It may take up to two months, but it's less painful and less expensive than repeated doctor visits. Nix dandruff with apple cider vinegar The vinegar's acidity reduces the natural pH of the scalp and this creates an unfriendly environment for yeast that tend to overpopulate the head and cause dandruff. Mix 1/2 cup of apple cider vinegar with one quart of water and use as a final rinse after shampooing, twice weekly.
