I'm one of those moms that doesn't like to run to the medicine cabinet every time that something is wrong.  Here we've made up a list of some great home remedies that have either been submitted by our friends or are tried and true remedies.

BELLY ACHE:   sip some creme de menthe.  Mint is said to have soothing qualities. (non-alcoholic, a sip of some mint syrup)

SUNBURN:   soak in a tub with some Nestea.  Or you can try applying some Noxzema.  Use your baby's teething ring to cool it down!  Or try soaking a paper towel in vinegar.

MOSQUITO BITES:   try applying the peel from a banana to the bite.  ( you can even keep some peels in your freezer during that time of the year)  

BEE STINGS:   mix meat tenderizer and water to make a paste and apply that to the site of the sting.  If you don't have meat tenderizer, try making a paste out of mud and water.   Or apply an onion to the area.

DANDRUFF:   use a fine tooth comb to gently "flake" off the dry skin on your scalp.  Apply a thick conditioner and then a plastic bag and leave this on for 20 minutes.  You can also put a towel in the dryer to get it nice and warm and wrap that around the bag.  The heat helps the conditioner penetrate your hair a little better.  

BLADDER INFECTIONS:   drinking cranberry juice at the first sign of a bladder infection can help to keep it from getting worse.  

TIRED FEET:    soak in a warm tub with a few drops of tea tree oil.  The menthol and eucalyptus in the oil helps them to get "revived".  

DRY CRACKED HANDS:   apply some triple antibacterial ointment to the cracked areas.  Then apply some vaseline or Crisco to your hands.  

MINOR BURN:   try applying some Crest toothpaste or aloe vera.  

HICCUPS:    cup your hands over your mouth and breathe in and out a few times.  Carbon dioxide is said to cure the hiccups.

STUFFY NOSE:    1/4  cup of apple cider vinegar and 1/4 cup of water.  Get this to boiling then make a tent over the boil and breathe in the steam.  

ECZEMA:   drinking tomato juice is said to help clear up eczema.  All you really need is 1% hydrocortisone.

GUM ON CLOTHES:   place a damp paper towel over top the gum.  Set an iron to low/medium heat and iron over top the gum.  The gum should transfer from the clothes to the paper towel.  Then toss the paper towel!  Or try WD40.  

HEMORRHOIDS:   take vitamin B6 tablets.  Or apply a red tomatoe slice to the hemmorrhoid to 30 seconds every day for a few days.

CANKER SORES:    swish around some Mylanta for 15 seconds and spit it out.  Or try coating the sore with vaseline.

DRY CRACKED LIPS:    apply some vaseline to your lips

EASE A FOOT CRAMP:    on the top of your foot between the bones that run into the big toe and second toe, rub in a cirucular motion for 60 seconds.

HEADACHE:    try cutting a lime in half and then rub it on the pounding area.

SPLINTERS:    instead of running for the tweezers, try placing a piece of scotch tape over the splinter and then pulling off the tape.  The splinter may come right out!

"BACNE":  also known as the acne on your back.  Take 1 cup of hot water and 1/2 tsp of salt.  Saturate a cotton ball with this mixture and then dab it on your back and let it dry.  Do this once a day.

WATER IN THE EAR:  hold a hair dryer set on low 1 foot away and aim it at your ear for 30 seconds to dry it out.

TEETH WHITENER 1 mashed strawberry and 1/2 tsp baking powder mixed together.  Spread this on your teeth, let sit for 5 mins and then brush like usual.

 

Please remember that this is not medical advice, only common helpful solutions.  If you have a serious medical condition, please consult your physician.
