Household Tips

Tweet

My sister-in-law sent me some household tips on email, so I thought I would share a few of them. 1. Everyone knows that two aspirin can cure a headache, but did you know that drinking two glasses of Gatorade can relieve earache pain almost immediately, without any unpleasant side effects. 2. Instead of using a high-priced inhaler filled with mysterious chemicals, try chewing a couple Altoids peppermints. They can clear up a stuffed nose. Who knew? 3. Achy muscles? Mix 1 tablespoon of horseradish in ½ cup of olive oil. Let the mixture set for 30 minutes, then apply it as a massage oil, for relief of aching muscles. 4. Sore Throat? Just mix ¼ cup of pure apple cider vinegar with ¼ cup of honey and take 1 tablespoon six times a day. The vinegar will kill the bacteria in your throat. Just remember that it has to be the pure apple cider vinegar “with the mother in it.” Braggs brand is available in most grocery stores. 5. Cure urinary tract infections with Alka-Seltzer? Who knew? Just dissolve two tablets in a glass of water and drink it at the onset of symptoms. Alka-Seltzer does not back this claim, but I guess it’s worth trying. There were other tips too. I will share some of them later. I feel that antibiotics are being overused and can eventually have no effect, if taken too often, so trying some of these COULD be a simpler solution. Always consult your doctor before trying anything new. I don't think any of these things would hurt you though.
