Home remedies

I thought some of these were neat. I havent tried them all but I think they will be worth trying to remember. Thought I would share.

Headache - Drinking two glasses of Gatorade can relieve headache paint almost immediately.

Burns - Colgate toothpaste makea an excellent salve for burns.

Sore Throat - Mix 1/4 cup of vinegar with 1/4 cup of honey and take 1 tablespoon six times a day. The vinegar kills the bacteria.

Urinary Tract Infections - Dissolve two Alka Seltzer in a glass of water and drink it at the onset of the symptoms. Alka Seltzer begins eliminating urinary tract infections almost instantly.

Skin Blemishes - Cover the blemish with a dab of honey and place a band-aid over it. Honey kills the bacteria, keeps the skin sterile, and speeds healing. Works overnight.

Toenail Fungus - Get rid of unsightly toenail fungus by soaking your toes in Listerine mouthwash. The powerful antiseptic leaves your toenails looking healthy again.

Splinters - Just pour a drop of Elmer's glue all over the spliner, let dry and peel the dried glue off the skin. The splinter sticks to the dried glue.

Broken Blisters - To disinfect a broken blister dab on a few drops of Listerine (a powerful antiseptic)

FOR PETS
Dog Fleas - Dawn dish washing liquid does the trick. Add a few drops in your dog's bath and shampoo the naimal thoroughly. Rinse well to avoid skin irritations. Goodbye fleas.

Dog Odor - Wipe down your animal wiht a Bounce or any dryer sheet instantly make your dog smell springtime fresh.

Eliminate Ear Mites - Take a few drops of Wesson corn oil in your cats ear. Massage it in, then clean it with a cotton ball. Repeat daily for 3 days. The oil soothes the cat's skin, smothers the mites and accelerates healing.

I wonder what's in the Dawn that rids the dog of fleas?

I hope they don't just move onto you while your washing. LOL

Very interesting. I have actually never heard of those. The two I have heard about dryer sheets is keep one in a belt loops or tucked in the waist of your pants to keep mosquitos away. Then put one inside your pillow case to keep your pillow smelling fresh, that is actually one that I do. lol
