Neosporin + Bandaid

Answer 2

I live in Southern AZ, about an hour from the MX border, so we have a lot of homeopathic and naturopathic remedies here, but these are my favorite ones that actually work:

Peppermint tea/chewing on a peppermint leaf for nausea/ upset stomach.

Papaya fruit/juice for indigestion.

Aloe vera for sunburns, burns and cuts/abrasions.

Ginger for motion sickness/nausea.

Cactus juice is also supposed to be good for your skin and immune system.
