List of Ingredients
INDIGESTION - add a spoonful of Ground Cardamon into a cup
of coffee.
INSOMNIA - Eat a lettuce sandwich before going to bed.
CAR SICKNESS - Eat some crystallised ginger.
A cure for HEADACHES, without using chemicals. Take a lime,
cut it in half
and rub on your forehead. The throbbing will go away.
To get rid of HICCUPS (or hiccoughs) take a small sip of
apple cider
vinegar. That's it - hiccups have gone (or so I am told).
Or - a spoonful of sugar- this also does the trick.
To stop mosquito BITES itching apply a tiny dab of
haemorrhoidal ointment.
(When I received this one I asked how on earth they found
out this worked
and was told that a very young member of the family had read
on the box
"stops itching and irritation" so gave it a go!!!)
Insect stings - rub a slice of raw onion on the sting as
soon as possible.
SUNBURN - Mix equal measures of Aloe Vera Gel and Honey then
apply to the
affected area. The aloe aids in healing the damaged skin and
the honey has a
natural analgesic effect. Users will not really notice the
"sticky"
sensation that would be assumed with just plain honey.
BURNS - to take the pain out of a small burn make a paste
from baking soda
and water and apply gently to the affected area. Swelling
and pain will
disappear.
When you have a cold to prevent a SORE NOSE, use cotton
based toilet tissue
instead of the regular "Kleenex" type.
SPLINTERS - If a splinter is too small to extract with
tweezers, put some
Elmer's Glue on the spot and let it dry. Then pull the glue
in the opposite
direction to that which the splinter entered. It works great
- no tears, no
traumas.
