Old wives tales-whatever you might want to call them..they work. Found a great article in Woman's Day home remedies. Some of the Dr's are even suggesting these for those patients who are getting tired of antibiotics all the time. My children have admitted being told by Pediatrician that my ideas that I have suggested are not so radical. WOW.
Duct tape-I have actually not heard about this: removing warts, yes this has been proven that the duck tape plus a pumice stone to remove the dead skin. Maybe it suffocates the warts and the tape has an irritant that might make your own systems immune kick in.
Vapor rub...to cure nail fungus. OK this is another wild one-Using vapor rub once or twice a day has shown that it works according to patients, maybe it smothers the infected nail.
Oatmeal to soothe Eczema:Oats have anti-inflammatory properties. Try to soak the area for 15 minutes. Can be used as a paste or inn the bath. The oats reduce the redness.
Yogurt to cure bad breath: Bad breath can come from your or your stomach(i did not know this)
Yogurt can neutralize the bad breathe effect and the acid that lives anywhere between the mouth and the stomach. Now what do you think of this? I love yogurt
Olives for motion sickness: since I have all kinds of motion problems. Found this interesting but have not tried. This has to be done at the very beginning before the sickness starts. The olives are said to release tannins which work to help dry the saliva which in turns should help with the reaction of sickness.
Salt water for sore throat:The water helps draw out the fluid which temporary reduces swelling and the pain. Really does work but it is short lived like most other throat treatments. OFCOURSE it does nothing for the real problems whatever they are.
Some new tales to think about and some old ones. IF anyone tries one of these let us all on the blog know. Will make for an interesting discussion.
