1. The best way to remove excessive earwax or annoying water from swimming is to
put some hydrogen peroxide or alcohol on a cotton swab tilt your head to one
side and drip it into your ear. It may fizz as it dissolves earwax or brings
the water to the surface. After about 25 sec drain your ear onto a washcloth,
repeat up to 3 times.
2. Remember
B.R.A.T. for diarrhea Stands for Banana, Rice, Applesauce,
and Toast (with white bread). Eat these things to help get rid of diarrhea.
3. Give children
who are teething a frozen bagel, carrot sticks or otter
pops. They act as chew toys and numb the gums.
4. For earaches apply heat. I like to have my kids lay
on a hot pad.
5. Black licorice, high fiber foods and
lots of water will cure constipation.
6. The chemical
reaction between baking soda and vinegar creates a cooling effect that will soothe burns. Next time someone
gets burned mix equal amounts of both ingredients and apply to burned area.
7. For sore throats sip this mix: heat up 1-cup water, add
1-Tbsp lemon juice, and 1 &1/2-Tbsp. honey.
8. Gargle with
warm salt water to help relieve sore throat pain or mouth sores.
9. Put mud or
baking soda mixed with water over bee
stings to remove the
sting.
10. The best way
to get ride of dry chapped
lips is to rehydrate
yourself! Just drink lots of water. Chapstick can help too but often times is
dries the lips out more.
