Home Remedies
We could also call this section of Donabee.com
Health and Wellness, things we have learned along the way. Here is a
collection of "home remedies" for different things. You may have
heard some of these but I bet you haven't seen them all. They are
set up by alphabet so if you want achy muscle relief then hit the
'M' for Muscles. Want to know what your great grandmother would do
for a sore throat, hit 'T' for throat.

Here's a few every
day hints I have learned over the years - for more remedies, use the
alphabet above.
 |
Achy muscles from a bout of the flu? Mix 1 Tablespoon of
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. |
|
Arthritis
fast pain relief... 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. |
| Bee Stings
- .Apply a poultice of baking soda and water.
Or apply a fresh cut slice of raw onion to the sting to
draw out the poison. Tape the onion to the sting. In an
emergency once, I used salt and it worked, too.. |
| Bug Bites
- Apply a poultice of either cornstarch or baking soda, mixed
with vinegar, fresh lemon or witch hazel.....Or Apply a
paste of meat tenderizer and water. Or rub bites
with a wet bsr of soap to help relieve itching. |
|
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. |
|
Burns - Colgate toothpaste makes an excellent salve for
burns. |
| 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. |
| Have a broken
blisters...
To disinfect a broken blister, dab on a few drops of Listerine |
| Got a
bruise?
... 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. |
| Sore
throat? Just mix 1/4 cup of vinegar with 1/4 cup of honey
and take 1 tablespoon six times a day. |
| 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. |
| Splinter
remover.
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. |
|
Toenail fungus. Get rid of unsightly toenail fungus by
soaking your toes in Listerine mouthwash. The powerful
antiseptic leaves your toenails looking healthy again.
And for Your Animals: |
|
Eliminate ear mites. Put a few drops of Wesson corn oil
in your cat's ear...Massage it in, then clean with a cotton
ball. Repeat for 3 days. The oil soothes the cat's skin,
smothers the mites. |
| To Dry Clean
your Dog - Rub baking soda into his coat thoroughly and then
brush it off. It deodorizes as well as it cleans. |
| Kill
fleas instantly...Dawn dishwashing liquid does the trick.
Add a few drops to your dog's bath and shampoo the animal
thoroughly. Rinse well to avoid skin irritations. |
| Keep fleas
away from your dog - Place fresh pine needles in his
doghouse or underneath his bed pad. |
|
Rainy day cure for dog odor ...Next time your dog comes
in from the rain, simply wipe down the animal with Bounce or any
dryer sheet, instantly making your dog smell springtime fresh. |
