[B]<CENTER>GOOD INFO - HOME REMEDIES

1) Everyone knows that two aspirin works great for a headache, but did you know..... Drinking two glasses of Gatorade can relieve
earache pain almost immediately without the unpleasant side effects caused by traditional pain relievers.

2) Before you head to he drugstore for a high-priced inhaler filled with mysterious chemicals, try chewing on a couple of
curiously strong Altoids peppermints. They'll clear up your stuffed nose.

3) Achy muscles from a bout of the flu? Mix 1 Tablespoon of horseradish in 1/2 cup of olive oil. Let the mixture sit for 30
minutes, then apply it as a massage oil, for instant relief for aching muscles.

4) Sore Throat?? Just mix 1/4 cup of vinegar with 1/4 cup of honey and take 1 Tablespoon six times a day. The vinegar kills the bacteria.

5) Cure urinary tract infections with alka-seltzer. Just dissolve two tablets in a glass of water and drink it at the onset
of the symptoms. Alka-Seltzer begins eliminating urinary tract infections almost instantly even though the product was never been advertised for this use.

6) It's nice to be someone's Honey, but use HONEY as a remedy for Skin Blemishes? Yup! Just cover the blemish with a dab of honey and place a Band-Aid over it. Honey kills the bacteria, keeps the skin sterile,
and speeds healing. Works overnight.

7) Listerine is a pretty strong mouthwash, but therapy for toenail fungus? Sure enough! Get rid of unsightly toenail fungus
by soaking your toes in Listerine mouthwash. The powerful antiseptic leaves your toenails looking healthy again.

8) Have you ever lost a screw from your glasses? It can be frustrating to say the least! But there's an easy way to avoid
that! To prevent the screws in your glasses from loosening, apply a small drop of Maybelline Crystal Clear nail polish to the threads of the screws before tightening them.

9)YIPES! A nasty stinging insect is in the house, and I can't find the RAID! If menacing bees, wasps hornets, or yellow jackets get in your home and you can't find the insecticide, try a spray of Formula 409. Insects drop to the ground instantly.

10) Everyone has gotten a sharp splinter in their finger from time to time, and have a heck of a time trying to remove it!
Just pour a drop of Elmer's Glue-all over the splinter, let dry, and peel the dried glue off the skin. The splinter sticks to the dried glue. No time to let glue dry? Try duct tape! It's strong, and will pull the splinter out with one pull!

11) We all know tomato paste is cooked to a boil...but used "FOR" a boil??? Cover the boil with Hunt's tomato paste as a compress. The acids from the tomatoes soothe the pain and bring the boil to a head.

12) Cleaning and disinfecting the area of a broken blister is difficult sometimes. To disinfect a broken blister, dab on a few
drops of Listerine.....a powerful antiseptic.

13) WHITE vinegar removes the blues! Heinz vinegar to heal bruises...Soak a cotton ball in white vinegar and apply it to the bruise for 1 hour. The vinegar reduces the blueness and speeds up the healing process.

14) Kills fleas instantly. Dawn dishwashing liquid does the trick. Add a few drops to your dog's bath and shampoo the animal thoroughly. Rinse well to avoid skin irritations. Good-bye fleas. Seems no other dishwashing liquid works this well!

15) Rainy day cure for dog odor....Next time your dog comes in from the rain, simply wipe down the animal with Bounce or any
dryer sheet, instantly making your dog smell springtime fresh.

16) Eliminate ear mites....All it takes is a few drops of Wesson corn oil in your cat or dogs ear. Massage it in, then clean with a cotton ball.

17) Repeat daily for 3 days. The oil soothes the pets skin, smothers the mites, and accelerates healing (mineral oil or baby
oil works well too).

18) Vaseline cure for hairballs for cats...To prevent troublesome hairballs, apply a dollop of Vaseline petroleum jelly
to your cat's nose. The cat will lick off the jelly, lubricating any hair in its stomach so it can pass easily through the
digestive system.

19) Quaker Oats for fast pain relief....It's not JUST for breakfast anymore! Mix 2 cups of Quaker Oats and 1 cup of water in a bowl
and warm in the microwave for 1 minute, cool slightly, and apply the mixture to your hands for soothing relief from arthritis
pain. It's great for a facial and to soften hands too!

It's amazing how some of the old home remedies work just as well as the expensive fancy bottled "modern" solutions!

This is a very interesting topic. I myself often use home remedies, especially to treat colds. For example, at the first sign of a cold, I always make tea from raspberry jam. Raspberry jam contains a lot of vitamin C and other beneficial substances that help strengthen the immune system. I also use inhalations with essential oils such as eucalyptus or menthol oil. This is great for nasal congestion and cough. And to prevent and strengthen the immune system, I drink a glass of warm water with honey and lemon every day.

Over time, decreased levels of sex hormone binding globulin cast a shadow on the male spirit by increasing weight, emotional fluctuations and even breast tissue. However, the presence of olive oil, which amazes with its rich reserves of oleic acid, gives a rejuvenating effect. Olive oil benefits for health are that when consumed, the onslaught of high estrogen levels recedes and the gentle balance of hormones flourishes again, allowing a moderate release of male energy.
