What's a home remedy? It's a simple way to treat an illness at home, without medicine. Throughout history, there have been many home remedies. Some don't work, or are dangerous. For example, one home remedy advises you to put butter on a burn. This will make the burn worse, however, not better. So do you know which home remedies really work? Scientists believe that these home remedies really are effective.
For long time, doctors have recommended drinking any hot liquid to relieve any cold symptoms. However, research shows that hot chicken soup is especially helpful.
When you can't sleep, a nice hot path before bedtime can help. In one study, nine women with insomnia took a hot path 11/2 hours before bedtime for two nights. The next week, the same women took a lukewarm bath. The women slept better after the hot paths than after the lukewarm ones.
Ginger can help you feel better if you feel sick to your stomach. It may also help prevent motion sickness. Drinking ginger tea is one way to ginger. To make the tea: Use a s**** piece of fresh ginger. Take the skin off and cut the ginger into little squares. Put these squares in a cup with a little sugar and add boiling water. Let the tea set for five minutes before drinking.
Soaking in an oatmeal bath can help itchy skin. Put one or two cups of oatmeal in a bathtub filled with warm water. The oatmeal will help stop the itch. If you have insect
bites or a sunburn, the bath will make you feel better. Baking soda can help bee stings to stop hurting. Make a paste of baking soda and water and put it on the bee sting.
You can cure a headache without *****. Although no one understands how it *****,
something called acupressure seems to help headaches.
Although these home remedies work, not all home cures do. If someone tells you a home remedy, be careful. Always ask your doctor if you aren't sure. And if your symptoms continue, be sure to see your doctor.
