When it comes to combating simple illnesses, I think going au naturale is still the best. Here are some of the home remedies I swear by.
How To Effectively Stop Vomiting at Home
Vomiting could be due to varying reasons like food poisoning, hangover or just early stages of pregnancy. It is quite worrisome as continuous vomiting for a long period of time may cause severe dehydration and weakness. Good thing is there is a remedy that we can use at home to ease a person’s suffering due to vomiting. Ginger has been used during ancient times to ease nausea and vomiting. They are the best anti-emetic one can find at home. The most effective way to use it is to boil ginger in water and drink it as a tea. You can also add honey to make the taste better. I also use tried using already-made ginger tea and still find it effective. If you are brave enough to stand its spice, you can also just chew a slice of ginger and it still works the same. It is still unclear why ginger can help ease vomiting but it is a remedy that I promise would deliver results.
Onychomycosis Fix
Onychomycosis is a fungal infection of the nail that causes the nail to become yellow, thick and causes the nail to separate from the skin. My big toenail was infected before and it was a horrible experience. I was shocked to see my big toe without any nail at all. I can’t wear open shoes since then. I tried to search for anything at home that I can use to fix it. I was out of Hydrogen Peroxide, and what’s left that has antimicrobial properties is my Listerine mouthwash. I just thought of trying it on my infection and when I did, I discovered that it helped in treating the fungal infection. I mixed 1 part Listerine mouthwash and 1 part apple cider vinegar to a basin of water. I soaked my feet for 30 minutes every day for three months and it really helped a lot. I refrained from wearing close and tight shoes while doing this. I also kept my toes dry all the time. I know that it worked because the nail on my big toe is growing back again. I’m glad that soon, my toenails would be back to normal.
The Magic of Garlic
When you’re one of those persons who constantly sit, stand and carry heavy weights, you might have encountered getting hemorrhoids. They are very painful that my father can’t even walk after defecating. I’ll share one effective home relief for hemorrhoid pain and even other kinds of pain. Our secret weapon for pain is garlic. Many thought of garlic as a remedy for relieving toothache, but this can also relieve hemorrhoid pain. Garlic contains eugenol. Eugenol has properties similar to that of anesthesia. First, put 5 to 10 cloves of garlic in two cups of boiling water. Second, use it to do a Sitz bath. Put the boiled solution on a basin and sit on it for 15 minutes or until pain is relieved. Lastly, another option is to rinse your anal area into the water once it has cooled down to a temperature you can tolerate. You can also crush the boiled garlic and apply it directly to your external hemorrhoids. This is a relief for pain. A person with hemorrhoids should also watch their diets and eat high fiber foods for further relief.
