Here are some more home remedies; thanks to my mom and her useful household hints and handy tips.
For A Sore Throat:
Mix a clove (which is antiseptic and fights infection) with 1/4 teaspoon powdered ginger and 1/8 teaspoon cinnamon (to fight inflammation). infuse the tea in 2 cups boiling water; stir in 4 teaspoons honey (soothes irritation). sip throughout the day until your throat feels better.
For Urinary Tract Infection:
Baking soda makes the bladder more alkaline, which prevents bacteria from multiplying. drink a solution made with 1/4 teaspoon of baking soda mixed in 8 ounces of water at the first sign of symptoms. continue this once a day until you see a doctor, get a culture, and start taking antibiotics.
For Restless Legs:
Tonic water: use a 6 ounce glass of tonic water before bed might calm symptoms of restless legs syndrome;the quinine it contains helps stop repeated muscle contractions.
For Athlete’s Foot:
A saline solution provides a hostile environment for fungus, decreases excess perspiration, and softens skin so antifungal meds can penetrate deeper. soak your foot for 5 to 10 minutes in a mixture of 2 teaspoons of salt per pint of warm water.
For Eczema:
Packed with inflammation reducing antioxidants, olive oil is the basis of many moisturizers;used alone, it is free of chemical irritants you may find in store bought creams. rub 1 teaspoon per square inch of skin, creating a seal that keeps skin from drying out. for serious cases, cover oiled skin with plastic wrap overnight.
