List of Ingredients
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.
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.
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.
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, honey soothes the throat.
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.
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.
Listerine is a pretty strong mouth wash, 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.
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.
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.
Everyone has gotten a smart 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!
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.
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.
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.
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!
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.
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. 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).
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.
Quaker Oats for fast pain relief....It's not 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!
Now...don't you feel so much smarter? It's amazing how some of the old home remedies work just as well as the expensive fancy bottled elixirs! Recipe
