When I get burnt, I immediately put the burn under cold water, and while it's still wet, apply baking soda to it. Make a paste, and leave it on. The burn stops hurting almost instantly. But! If you have more than a 2nd degree burn, get to the ER pronto.

Cold sores, I hate them with a passion. I get them the first time in the sun after a absence from being in the sun for awhile or when I'm exposed to a cold windy day for a few hours. I now take the amino acid L-Lysine before I go into a situation that I know would cause them.

The only two alternatives I've found that do anything at all are Valerian and Melatonin. I use them if I have trouble sleeping.
Valerian takes care of mild insomnia, Melatonin is for serious sleeping problems (sever insomnia, scheduling, etc).
Valerian is pretty innocuous but Melatonin is tricky stuff. Any more than a few hundre micrograms for me causes intense, disturbing dreams.

Valerian for Insomnia.. Vervain for Alertness
Gotcha Cola or Ginkco Biloba for the Mind!
Ginseng for Energy! Scullcap for Lupus,
Cinnamon for Depression, Cassadra for Diabetes. I could go on but Just read Earl Mindrell's book on using herbs!

Love to.
Aloe Vera I use for EVERYTHING. Pimples, rashes, bites, stings, sunburn. If I have something wrong with me I go straight for the aloe vera plant. It fixes EVERYTHING!
I use lavender on my kids pillows - no more nightmares!
And honey. Its a cure-all. Apparently its the only food in the world that can't go 'off'.
Your turn?
