Home Remedy

     When you have a minor health problem, do you usually go to the doctor, get something from the drugstore, or use a home remedy?

     In my experience when I have a cold, a fever, or the flu, I usually go to the doctor, or buy some medicine in drugstore. But my grandma always said to me to use home remedies for common illnesses. I will give you explanation, suggest, or maybe some simple home remedies.

     Bee stings and insect bites

Wash the stings and insect bit. Put some meat tenderizer on a handkerchief and then put the handkerchief on the bite for half on hour. To avoid insect bites, it is helpful to eat garlic or take garlic pills.

     Burns

Put the burn under cold water or put a cold handkerchief on it. Then apply Aloe Vera gel to the burn. It is important not to put ice on the burn.

     Colds

I eat hot chicken soup when I have a cold. I find it clears the head and the nose. Sometime I rub oil on my chest for a cold and drink a mixture of red pepper, hot water, sugar, lemon, juice, and milk or vinegar.

     Cough

You can drink warm liquids or take some honey.

     Headaches

Apply an ice pack or cold cloth to your head, or splash your face with cold water. It is also a good idea to put your hands into hot water and leave them there for several minutes. Also, you should not read or watch TV.

     Insomnia

If I in this situation I will drink a large glass of warm milk. It is also a good idea to soak in a warm bath.

You must try this at home.
