Thread Content

You must have been troubled by toothache, and you must have also experienced persistent nosebleeds. How was it resolved at that time? Is it by tilting the head back and waiting for the bleeding to stop, allowing blood to flow back into the throat? In fact, this approach is incorrect. Read on for many useful home remedies that can help deal with minor health issues. 　　1. Seasonal fatigue: Seasonal fatigue often occurs during the change of seasons; make yourself a \"sleeping pillow\". Place more fragrant, antibacterial plant leaves under the pillowcase: laurel, ferns, hazel, pine needles, mint, and rose petals. 　　2. Swollen eyes: Apply a compress soaked in celery juice to reduce swelling; cut celery into small pieces, put them in a cloth bag, and then submerge the bag in boiling water. Remove after 15–20 minutes, cool it down, and apply it to the eyelids for 10 minutes. 　　3. Toothache: The aromatic compounds in clove oil can relieve pain and eliminate bacteria. Dipping a cotton swab in clove oil and placing it on the affected tooth can help relieve the pain. 　　4. Hiccups: If the usual methods (a. Drinking a glass of cold water slowly in large gulps ； b. Hold yourself with both arms, take a deep breath, then hold your breath for as long as possible. If that doesn’t work, try using a laurel leaf extract to stop hiccups. Place 3–4 bay leaves in a cup of boiling water and let them soak for a while; then take 10–15 drops each time you get hiccups. 　　5. Blood vessel blockage: Alcohol and garlic are probably the best ways to clear blood vessels. Crush 40 grams of garlic and mix it with 100 milliliters of liquor, then let it sit for 10–15 days. Take 10 drops, 2-3 times a day, 30 minutes before meals. This method can clear blockages, restore elasticity to blood vessels, and also treat chronic headaches. 　　6. Excessive appetite: Tibetan therapy: Press the area between the upper lip and nose with the tip of the middle finger for a few minutes. Drink a glass of mineral water or tomato juice before meals. 　　7. Stings: If you “soak” yourself, the stings will come out on their own. Take a hot bath first, then use double-layer paper towels to wipe the skin in order to squeeze out the thorns. Another method: Apply a drop of vegetable oil to the skin around the prick. It penetrates the skin and softens the thorn, after which it can be removed using forceps or a sterilized needle. 　　8. Cough: Massage the chest with alcohol or liquor to warm it up, then apply a thin layer of warm medicinal wax immediately, leaving it on until it cools down. Use this method to provide assistance until recovery. 　　9. Dizziness: Do not lie down or close your eyes, as this will only worsen the symptoms. Red peppers can help you. Pour some hot water, add some crushed chili peppers to it, and drink it slowly. Water and chili can raise the temperature of your blood, stimulating blood flow to the brain and thus relieving headaches. If you don’t have chili peppers on hand, find a comfortable place to sit, loosen your collar, and massage the solar plexus in a clockwise direction. 　　10. Pustules: If the pustule has already broken through the skin and is red and swollen, using disinfectant is no longer effective. Iodine tincture should also not be used, and pressing on the area is even worse, as it will make it more noticeable. Wipe with alcohol (liquor, toilet water), then mix equal amounts of toothpaste and men’s shaving balm; apply the mixture to the pustule and wait about 15 minutes until it dries, after which remove it carefully. The pustule will shrink and turn white. 　　11. Body waste: Apply vegetable oil to the body and massage it for about 10 minutes; it’s best to use a dedicated bath brush. Then take a hot bath and carefully use a bath ball and bath soap to remove the vegetable oil. After that, the pores open and sweating begins to remove waste from the body. 　　12. Stress: The simplest breathing exercises in yoga can help you stay calm, and they can be practiced even during working hours. Find a comfortable position: you can sit or stand, and take slow, deep breaths. The exhalation time should be twice as long as the inhalation time. Try to concentrate, focusing only on the process of breathing: you can even “hear” the air circulating not only in the lungs but also in the abdomen. To relieve stress, about 10 minutes of doing this is sufficient. 　　13. Bad breath: One reason for unpleasant breath is dry mouth. It is usually due to smoking, long conversations, and stress. Lemon slices can help you get rid of bad breath. Place the lemon slices on the tongue for 5-7 minutes, sucking on them from time to time. 　　14. Nosebleeds: Do not lie down, do not tilt your head back, and do not use cotton balls to block your nose. It is necessary to sit down, lower the head slightly forward; it’s best to place an ice pack on the bridge of the nose. If none is available, wet a handkerchief with cold water and then press it firmly against the nostril from which blood is flowing for 2–3 minutes. During this time, breathe evenly through the mouth. 　　15. Low blood pressure: When you feel your blood pressure starting to drop, change to a comfortable sitting position, loosen your collar, and massage the solar plexus in a clockwise direction. Or wipe the sun with a few drops of lemon juice or perfume*. Then, one can drink a cup of coffee with a moderate strength. 　　16. Sweaty hands: This is usually due to misalignment of the vascular ducts, or it may be caused by nerve problems. Drink 30 drops of valerian, motherwort, or peony extract daily, and in the morning soak your hands in water mixed with oak leaf or chamomile extract (one tablespoon of extract per liter of water). 　　17. Migraines: They are often caused by excessive fatigue, stuffy indoor conditions, hunger, and anxiety, and may also be due to genetic factors. The apple cider vinegar steam bath method can eliminate or at least reduce headaches. Put an equal amount of vinegar and water in the pot, and bring to a boil over low heat. When steam begins to emerge, lower your head above the pot and breathe in the steam; 60–75 breaths are sufficient. 　　18. Burns: Keep a pot of geraniums; they are particularly effective for treating burns. In the case of scalds caused by boiling water, place fresh geranium leaves over the wound and wrap it with a bandage. Repeat after 10-12 hours. Usually, burns heal within a few days without leaving scars or marks. 　　19. Joints: (1) When the joints start to ache, take fresh cabbage leaves and apply honey inside the leaves. Use it to wrap around the knees as knee pads (it’s best to use elastic bandages), and remove them once the soreness subsides. (2) Heat ordinary sand in a pot and place it on the heels, so that the joints will warm up on their own. This formula is particularly suitable for gout, but it is not appropriate for those with varicose veins. 　　20. Fine wrinkles around the eyes: Use the thumb to press on the * point located 1 centimeter away from the outer corner of the eye; press each * point 3 times per minute. 　　21. Discomfort after drinking: Drink a few glasses of water (preferably honey water) before going to bed; it will help reduce the discomfort the next morning. If you still feel unwell when you wake up in the morning, then neither pills nor salt solutions will help; apply mustard plaster to your calves and place an ice pack on your forehead. Your symptoms will ease in half an hour. 　　22. Dark circles under the eyes: If your dark circles are not caused by chronic diseases but rather by lack of sleep, apply a wet compress soaked in cold strong coffee (3 tablespoons of coffee mixed with 100 grams of hot water) to the area under your eyes. Caffeine is a very good vasoconstrictor, and this method is contraindicated in patients with glaucoma. 　　23. Preventing colds: If you are preparing milk coffee and sandwiches for breakfast, you can spread a thin layer of butter on each slice of whole-grain bread, along with 2-3 cloves of crushed garlic. Some cheese and vegetables can also be placed on top of the garlic layer. The secret to such a breakfast lies in the fact that garlic can eliminate all bacteria, while milk and coffee can remove the garlic taste. 　　24. Hair loss: Grate a washed potato, extract its juice, then add 2 tablespoons of aloe vera juice and 20 grams of honey. Apply this mixture in circular motions to the scalp, cover the hair with a towel for 2 hours, and then wash it thoroughly. Performing this therapy twice a week will yield results. 　　25. Sore throat: When you have just caught a cold and feel an itching or discomfort in your throat, mix two teaspoons of apple cider vinegar into a cup of cool water. Drink one-third of it, and rinse the rest with water once per hour. Usually, the pain goes away within a day or two. 　　26. Smoking: The correct way to eliminate nicotine from the body: Take 2–3 tablespoons of oats (with the hulls, if possible), wash them, and pour them into 2–3 liters of water. Then bring to a boil over low heat and cook for another 15–20 minutes. Then cover the pot, place it in a warm place for a day and night, filter it, and put it in the refrigerator. Take 120 grams three times a day, half an hour before meals. 　　27. Insomnia: If you suffer from frequent insomnia, prepare some lavender essential oil or fresh lemon. Half an hour before going to bed, drop 1–2 drops of lavender essential oil or lemon juice on a light bulb; the evaporating substances act on the brain, helping to relax and calm the body.
