*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?
*Did you know that Colgate Toothpaste makes an excellent salve for burns?
*Before you head to the 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 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.
*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.
*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.
*Honey remedy for skin blemishes... 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 therapy for toenail fungus: Get rid of unsightly toenail fungus by soaking your toes in Listerine Mouthwash. The powerful antiseptic leaves your toenails looking healthy again.
*Easy eyeglass protection... to prevent the screws in eyeglasses from loosening, apply a small drop of Maybelline Crystal Clear Nail Polish to the threads of the screws before tightening them.
*Cleaning liquid that doubles as bug killer... 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.
*Smart splinter remover: 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.
*Hunt's Tomato Paste boil cure... 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.
*Balm for broken blisters... to disinfect a broken blister, dab on a few drops of Listerine, a powerful antiseptic.
*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.
*Quaker Oats for fast pain relief... it's not for breakfast any more! 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.
*Toothpaste without fluoride clears up tricky pimples. (If you use toothpaste with fluoride it can cause pimples.) Lemon juice and raw garlic is also a way to rid acne.
*Just drinking a hot cup of unsweetened tea will help cure a case of bad breath.
*Soaking a cotton ball in blanched green tea is a great way to reduce scars.
*Celebrities swear by using used cold tea bags to soothe and reduce dark circles underneath your eyes. Although almond oil is considered the best at removing dark circles. (With almond oil just massage the area with the oil at night before going to bed.)
*When it comes to itching, taking a peppermint bath is a wonderful way to reduce the itch.
*To remove blackheads apply undiluted lemon juice 2-3 times a day on the affected areas.
*To whiten teeth, rub the inside of the orange peel against your teeth. Another remedy is using the bark of a walnut tree on your teeth, which is extremely helpful in removing stains.
*Milk is a great way in helping to reduce any kind of burn, just dip a cloth into milk and place onto the burn for the best relief.
*Sprouts, alfalfa, or sunflower seeds help with stress.
*Yogurt provides relief from insomnia, cramps, and migraines due to the fact that it is so rich with vitamins A, B, and D.
*Vick's is one of the many home remedies to help fight off ringworm and soothe the skin from that terrible itch when applied one to three times a day.
