Home Remedies Anyone Can Try

Many simple and cheap home remedies work just as well or better than their overpriced drugstore counterparts. Plus home remedies rarely have toxic side effects like store-brought treatments often do. So, unless you have severe or prolonged symptoms--in which case you should consult your doctor right away--try the cheaper, home-brewed alternative first.

Common Cold
Spicy foods containing cayenne, chili peppers, Tabasco and horse radish trigger the flow of mucus. Try popping a hot tamale (remove the cheese) in your mouth instead of pseudoephedrine.

Garlic has a natural antibiotic affect. Take a clove of fresh garlic and place it in your mouth between your gums and cheek. Keep it there all day, biting into it occasionally.

For a similar but less pungent cure, make a blend of crushed clove of garlic, half a teaspoon of cayenne pepper, a teaspoon of honey, and a crushed 1000 mg tablet of vitamin C. Take three times daily with meals.

Make your own nasal spray using one-third teaspoon of non-iodized salt and a pinch of baking soda to an eight-ounce cup of warm water and then dispense it from a spray bottle.

Sinus Infection
Start with the same saline mixture as for nasal spray. Pour a little of the solution into an eye cup or the palm of your hand and sniff it up your nose one nostril at a time. Allow the solution to drain out of your nose or mouth. Blow your nose very gently after irrigating. Use a half-cup per nostril. (Do be careful though when it comes to sinus infections for they can get very nasty, if symptoms persist for more than a few days consult your doctor).

Anti-Infection Diet
For several days, restrict your diet to a thick broth made mostly of leafy greens (chard, kale, collards) plus lots of carrots, onions and garlic. You can also add a little rice, tofu or chicken if desired. Avoid all dairy products, wheat products and sugars. All produce mucus.

Sinus Herbs
Get a mixture of golden seal and echinacea in liquid form. These herbs fight respiratory infection.

Constipation
Eat two small apples first thing in the morning followed by a glass or two of boiled water with a teaspoon of honey mixed in. And of course, regularly drinking prune juice and eating a diet high in fiber keeps you regular.

Itchy Skin Irritation
Apply a paste of baking soda mixed with water to blistering skin or soak gauze in ice-cold milk and apply to the itchy area for three minutes repeat for 15 minutes. An oatmeal bath also helps.

Hay Fever
Mince the peels and inner rinds of grapefruit and lemons and simmer with a bit of water for about 10 minutes. Add honey and take one teaspoon three times daily.

Cough
Use two tablespoons of diced onion with a half-cup of honey and cook over a double boiler for a few hours. Strain through a coffee filter before using and then take a few tablespoons every four hours.

You can get many of these types of tips in such magazines as Prevention or Natural Health.
