Common Remedies For Common Conditions

It is time to discover medication in your own kitchen. Since thousands of years we have been given “home remedies”, especially by out grandmothers. For every acute or chronic condition they seemed to have a solution in their kitchen. Let’s see what we can find in our kitchen.

In case acne is as a persistent problem, use yogurt. Yogurt has lactic acid which works as a natural  exfoliate. Its application will not just clear acne but will provide you with clearer skin tone and a glowing skin with reduced fine lines. Another remedy is to use coarse salt to scrub your skin with. Add in it neem oil.

In case you have been attacked by mosquitoes and this has lead to skin inflammation; no need to panic.
All you need to do is crush down a small dosed tablet of aspirin, add an ounce of water to make a paste and apply it on the inflamed area. This is because it carries salicylic acid which is actually a potent ingredient used in acne medicines.

In case of minor burns, in kitchen itself or otherwise, prepare solutions of green tea or black tea. Soak a towel in either of the cold solutions and apply on the area. The inflammation of the vessels will be reduced due to presence of phytonutrients in these teas.

As soon as you realize that you have encountered food poisoning try eating a burned toast. This is because the tannic acids present in the charcoal of the burnt toast and tea nullify the toxins. They also help in getting better faster. A critical problem we face is mouth pain, especially kids. The worst is that it is difficult to give them a regular medicine for the same as they hardly co-operate. In such a condition, you should try giving them “mint stuff”. Anything that bears mint in it; candies, tea, gums; would do the job!
