You probably already know precisely what every single thing in your medicine cabinet should be used to cure. You know that when your belly hurts, you should reach for the antacid. You know that an allergic reaction requires the antihistamine. You know that a headache calls for ibuprofen or acetaminophen. Are you aware, however, that nearly all of the items in your medicine cabinet can be used for all sorts of other ailments also? Look at these uncommon remedies for very common problems.
You are aware that you must take an antacid like Alka Seltzer to help calm heartburn or a stomach that is acting up. Did you know, however, that your Alka Seltzer or other antacid can be used to ease the pain of insect bites? This is because nearly all antacids like Alka Seltzer have aspirin which helps ease the pain and stinging you feel when you are bitten. Make a paste from a smashed up antacid, some oatmeal and a small amount of water. Put it over the bite and you will observe that it stops hurting almost immediately. This often works much better than those products that are created for the same purpose, like calamine lotion.
You already know that you can stop bad breath by using mouthwash but did you know that you can use it to fight off athlete’s foot also? Alcohol based mouthwashes are truly good for keeping your toes and feet clean and in good health. Try soaking a cotton ball in the mouthwash and then rub the cotton ball over the soles of your feet and between your toes after every shower. The alcohol that’s in the mouthwash kills any imminent fungal infections that might be building up.
Sodium bicarbonate — baking soda — has been used for decades for cleaning teeth. In addition, baking soda is excellent as a tooth whitener and a truly good oral hygiene scrub. Did you know, however, that baking soda can be used to treat conditions like sunburns as well? Baking soda has properties that have a neutralizing effect on the skin’s pH balance. To get as much relief as is possible, pour about a cup of baking soda into your bath water–under the running water tap, wait for it to entirely dissolve and then climb in and soak for about 30 minutes.
You probably already knew that you can treat burns with the help of aloe vera. It will soothe your skin too and reduce the pain brought on by burns–no matter how severe. Then again, did you know that aloe vera can get rid of canker sores too? The same properties found in aloe vera that help skin burns can help cure your canker sores. Studies indicate that individuals who use aloe vera for treating canker sores heal up to 50 percent more quickly than those who use regular canker sore cures.
