How did we cure ourselves of many aches, pains and illnesses in
the past? Most of the remedies worked very well, were cheap and
could usually be found in most homes.
Did you know that? Drinking two glasses of Gatorade can relieve
headache pain almost immediately, without the unpleasant side
effects caused by traditional "pain relievers."

for burns?

filled with mysterious chemicals, try chewing on a couple of
curiously strong Altoids peppermints. They'll clear up your
stuffed nose.

horseradish in 1 cup of olive oil. Let the mixture sit for 30
minutes, then apply it as a massage oil, for instant relief for
aching muscles.

and take 1 tablespoon six times a day. The vinegar kills the
bacteria.

symptoms. Alka-Seltzer begins eliminating urinary tract
infections almost instantly, even though the product was never
been advertised for this use.

rust stain. The phosphoric acid in the coke is what gets the job
done.

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.

over the splinter, let dry, and peel the dried glue off the
skin. The splinter sticks to the dried glue.

oil in your cat's ear. Massage it in, then clean with a cotton
ball. Repeat daily for 3 days. The oil soothes the cat's skin,
smothers the mites, and accelerates healing.
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. Don't have it too hot, because you don't want to burn
yourself, Make sure you test it for heat.
Most of the products mentioned are widely available in the
United States and Canada, but perhaps not so well known in other
countries. It is not essential that you use the actual brand
name, as other similar brands are available and would work just
as well. The brand names are very well known, but if you have
any doubt about treatment, Please see a Physician first.
