Natural Remedies In Your Own Home

Over the past few years I have been seeking ways to lead a greener, healthier life. I would like to rely on natural cures as opposed to over the counter medications and drugs and chemicals. With the number of recalls that happen daily, there is no better time than the present to rely on homeopathic solutions for what ails you. Here are a few to keep in mind, including cleaning solutions for your home.

  • Use baking soda and vinegar to treat a clogged drain,
  • Baking soda is wonderful for controlling blemishes and oil on your skin, take a bit, wet with water and rub over the face and neck, wash away and pat dry,
  • Use an over ripe avocado to restore moisture in your skin. Smash it up and smooth it over your face and hands then rinse and pat dry. You'll be amazed at how soft and hydrated your skin feels,
  • Use olive oil for a hot oil treatment to restore balance and to your hair,
  • Suffering from congestion, eat onion and garlic. They are both great to open the airways,
  • Drink 1-2 tbsp of apple cider vinegar at the first signs of food poisoning to settle the acids in the stomach and neutralize the toxins,
  • Use ice cubes to deoderize your garbage disposal. Toss a few in and grind away!,
  • Experiencing muscle cramps, grab the tonic water and drink away, the quinine in the water will soothe away muscle cramps,
  • Cranberries do fight urinary tract infections, as does baking soda. Toss 1/4 tsp in 8 oz water and drink up,
  • Have a toothache, swish with a bit of peroxide as needed to control the pain until you can see a dentist,
  • Got an earache? Chop up a clove of garlic, soak in olive oil over night. The next day strain the oil and place a few drops in your ear. This will neutralize bacteria in the ear,
  • Drop your cell phone in water, place it in an air tight container of rice to absorb the water,
  • and as always if you have a cough, sip tea with honey and lemon

Stay happy and thrive!
