Is the economy beating up? It's time to be creative. The next time you have an ache or pain, forget about an expensive trip to the pharmacy and try out some of grandma's remedies in place. It will save money and be gentler on your body and the environment. Recession (and gentlemen), welcome to the medicine cabinet DIY.
1. Stop the bleeding
You would think that was burned, but a pinch of cayenne pepper on a cut quickly stop bleeding and, in fact relieve pain.
2. Toothache
There is nothing so bad as the throbbing pain of a toothache. You do not want to ignore a dental problem, due to an infection near his brain can be extremely dangerous if it spreads. However, in order to reduce inflammation and pain while waiting for a dentist appointment, try to put a few drops of oil of cloves in the tooth and gums, and bite on a broken piece of garlic (which has excellent properties antibacterial). This has always worked for me.
3. Rashes and allergies
Prescription and OTC antihistamines can cause some serious side effects. Before addressing the strong things, try green tea, which contains compounds with antihistamine properties. You should drink 2-3 cups a day to get the full effect.
4. Athlete's foot
It is a foot fungus, and it stinks. Piglets air, then soaked in salt water, rinse with garlic juice, or take with diluted cider vinegar or apple white. All these things will help kill the fungus.
But be persistent, consistent and diligent: No matter what treatment you use, do a couple of times a day and stick with it until at least one week after symptoms have disappeared! Hongo excels at hiding and come back when you least expect it.
5. Acne and sensitive skin
First, you really need to see their style of life, due to imbalances in your health may appear on your skin. But meanwhile, wash face with oatmeal. It is a gentle exfoliating and extracting the oil and impurities.
6. Ear infections
Ear infections can become quite severe and permanent damage, so please consult a doctor if your ear pain has become severe.
But if you feel that your infection is mild and in the early stages, put a few drops of garlic oil or vinegar into the ear canal and lay down on the opposite side so that those drops do their job. The garlic and vinegar to create an environment that does not support the bacteria causing the infection. Repeat several times daily until symptoms disappear. (If symptoms last more than a few days, you can see a doctor!)
7. Muscle aches and bruises
After a difficult afternoon of paddling with a friend, I resigned a few days of burning and pain in the muscles. But my friend saved the day with a tube of arnica cream. He rubbed my shoulders and voila, instant relief without any pain the next day. The humble arnica flower cream makes a great kit should not be out. Use immediately to accelerate the healing of wounds, sprains, muscle aches and other pains in general.
8. Flatulence
Some foods, like beans and vegetables, are more likely to cause gas, but if you find flatulence to be too common an occurrence, try taking a digestive enzyme with your meals. You can find these at any health food store.
Meanwhile, make use of digestive spices such as ginger, aniseed, mint, cilantro and dill. You can make tea or incorporate these ingredients in your food.
9. Dandruff
Have you looked at the ingredients in dandruff shampoo? Appear to contain almost all the toxic ingredients to avoid list. It is better to try something natural first before resorting to chemicals. Many people swear by rubbing aloe vera gel on the scalp (leave for 20 minutes, rinse off). This will certainly help with dry scalp itching.
Another remedy is a rinse with apple cider vinegar. Try these remedies a few times before deciding whether to work for you. Including dandruff shampoo requires regular use to see results, so natural to take things a chance!
10. Headache and Migraine
Try peppermint or lavender oil rubbed on the temples and the base of his neck, smelling these oils can also help.
Rub a fresh cut lemon or lime on the forehead. Feverfew is a good herbal remedy for headaches.
Having a bit of caffeine through the green tea, and do not forget to use an ice pack for 20 minutes to calm the beating.
11. Indigestion and heartburn
Almost needless to say - but consider why you are getting heartburn in the first place. Did you overeat? Too much fat or spicy food? Eating late at night? Explorer of the case and try to stop this before it happens. Then write antacids.
Belching, bloating and heartburn caused by indigestion occurred because you do not have enough stomach acid to do the job. One or two tablespoons of apple cider vinegar will help break down excess food that is causing problems and bring your stomach back into balance.
12. Constipation
First, drink more water and eat more fruits and salads. You are supported by a reason, and having a lot of laxatives is not the answer. Meanwhile, consumption of a few teaspoons of olive oil mixed with a little orange or (diluted) of lemon juice can help things get moving.
Another magic bullet is 1 / 4 teaspoon of Epsom salts drunk in 1 / 2 cup of water. Sometimes, calorie restriction or avoidance of healthy fats (like good fats found in fish, nuts and avocados) can make constipation worse.
And although it is counterintuitive to some people to relieve constipation by actually reducing the consumption of grain! It is true that the grains contain fiber, but some people can not digest grains very well. Other causes of constipation include stress, depression, inactivity, and nutritional deficiencies. If constipation is chronic, it can be a sign of a more serious problem, so please check with a doctor and adjust your lifestyle.
13. Sore throat
Pain, sore throat usually a sign of a cold or flu coming on, so you do not want to ignore this symptom, but may relieve pain by gargling with warm salt water a few times a day and then soft-drink honey lemon tea.
14. Burns
So hit the heater? Ouch. Rinse with cold water first, but immediately after applying the gel of aloe vera to the burn.
For those of us who do not have aloe in the house, cut a potato and rub the fresh juice, soft around the burn.
And honey, with its antibacterial properties, is also a good topical ointment. If you can take the burn immediately, mustard is also a great balm.
15. Nausea
The classical remedy for nausea or carsickness is ginger tea or candied ginger. You can chew the raw stuff, if you will, but it's so hot and strong that it could make you feel worse.
real smell peppermint or lavender oil can also help.
Give some of these resources an opportunity - and share your own tried and true treatments, too.
