You probably already know just what each item in your medicine drawer should be used to cure. You know that if you have heartburn, you should eat an antacid. You know that an allergy flare up demands the antihistamine. You already know that when you’re having a headache you need to take a pain killer like acetaminophen or ibuprofen. But did you know that the items in your medicine cabinet can be used to remedy all sorts of other problems too? Try some of these bizarre remedies for common ailments.
You probably already know that an antacid like Alka-Seltzer (and other antacids) can genuinely help you feel better when you have stomach problems or acid reflux. Did you know, however, that you can use Alka Seltzer (and other antacids) to ease the sting of a bug bite also? This is because nearly all antacids (like Alka Seltzer for example) have aspirin in them and that brings down how much pain and stinging you feel when you get a bug bite. Make a paste by breaking an antacid tablet, a little bit of oatmeal and a little water. Smooth it over the bitten area and you should feel better almost immediately. This usually works better than the products that are made for the same purpose, like calamine lotion.
You already know that mouthwash can help you stop bad breath or halitosis but did you know that it can fight athlete’s foot too? Alcohol based mouthwashes are really helpful for keeping your feet and toes clean and healthy. After showering, soak a cotton ball with an alcohol based mouthwash and run it between your toes and over the soles of your feet. The alcohol will kill any bacteria that may be working to start a fungal infection.
Sodium bicarbonate or baking soda has been used for decades to clean your teeth. Also, baking soda is excellent as a tooth whitener and a truly good oral hygiene scrub. However, did you know that baking soda can be used to treat an a number of skin conditions like sunburns also? Baking soda’s properties have been found to have a neutralizing effect on your skin’s pH balance. So you can get as much relief as is possible, pour about a cup of baking soda into your bath water–under the running water tap, wait for it to entirely dissolve and then climb in and soak for 30 minutes.
You probably are already aware that you can treat skin burns with the help of aloe vera. Also, aloe vera works as a skin soother and can relieve the pain felt in burns both mild and severe. Did you know that it can help heal canker sores too? The same things found in aloe vera that soothe burns can heal canker sores. Research has proven that those who treat canker sores with aloe vera heal as much as 50 percent faster than those who use traditional canker sore remedies.
These are merely some of the uncommon ways you can use very common remedies. Rather than buying the latest OTC treatments for your ailment, why not try something you already have at home? Your cabinets are full of remedies that are excellent for more than what it says on the package–get the most value for your money!
