Answer 2

Simple start for home: Get a washcloth and use warm water to rinse your face, preferably a few times a day. Any soap would help too, but there are kinds that you can get at pharmacys and even grocery stores that are specially for your face. Also, some studies have shown that stress will cause pimples. Just ignore the pimples, it happens to enough people to call it common. The less you worry and the more you focus on washing your face, etc. there is a good chance they will improve.

Answer 4

My home remedy tip deals with how to get rid of mice in your home.

Mice are allergic to Oil of Peppermint and will not frequent a property where they can smell it. Just place a few drops of "Real Oil of Peppermint" (not the imitation or extract stuff) on a cotton ball and place anywhere you see or suspect a mouse problem.

I have a small mousery in my home because my hobby is "Mice as Pets". So, I myself, do not try to chase them away. But it will work for those interested.

1.) Grapefruit Seed Extract, for eliminating athlete's foot. I couldn't get rid of it with other products, so... having a bottle of GSE on hand for other things, I decided to try it on my athlete's foot, and, by golly, it worked... in only 3 days!

2.) Heinz apple cider vinegar for curing food poisoning, (and most other upset stomach problems). I take 2 shots, straight from the bottle, (although they say you can dilute it in a glass of water for those who can't take it straight). From the time I take this remedy 'til the time I'm better is 20 minutes, (at which time you'll get the "runs" and your system "cleans itself out!). No kidding!
I got more, but for only 2 points, I'm not gonna waste my night here!

Answer 6

It's best to avoid sunburn if at all possible but if you do get one, use vinegar to "draw out" the fire. Apply it for several minutes. It takes a little while to help but it does work. And if you really need IMMEDIATE relief for sunburn and you DO NOT have broken skin in that area, pat rubbing alcohol on it. I know this sounds painful but it doesn't burn. It actually cools it. The relief doesn't last long but when you are really in pain, it helps a lot. I used it on my children and now on my grandchildren. They weren't too eager about it at first but after letting me put it on their sunburn the first time, they started coming in yelling for the alcohol!

Answer 7

You can make an all natural cough syrup by copping some onions up and put sugar on it over a low heat until the sugar melts. It taste sweet and has sulfur in it which use to be used before there was penicillin.

Answer 10

Noxema on sunburns........it stings at first but helps it heal faster in the long run........I also use it on chafing when needed, you just put it on and wipe it off after about a minute but don't rinse or wash it off with water the key is to just wipe it off with a soft dry cloth..........

Answer 11

Take aspirin for a sun burn. Your skin has a fever and the aspirin ruduces the fever and takes away the hot feeling. It heals faster too.
