Nobody
can deny the wonders and effectiveness of modern medicine. However,
there are home remedies that can be excessively useful too, so instead
of spending so much money on expensive medication, use the following
home remedies to cure the following medical problems:
Duct tape for warts removal
In 2002, doctors experimented on removing warts using duct tapes and
compared the results with method of using nitrogen to remove warts. It
turns out when individuals wore the duct tape on their warts for two
months and later exfoliated their skin with a pumice stone, one day
every week, their warts disappeared. In fact, the freezing method using
nitrogen just worked on only 60% of the individuals. On the other hand,
more than 80% individuals’ warts disappeared who used the duct tape
method. Dr Robin Blum, dermatologist, thinks it either the chemical
adhesive in the duct tape that cures the wart or maybe the duct tape is
the source of irritation in the skin. This stimulates the body’s immune
system to attack on the wart and eventually get rids of it.
Using Vapor Rub to get rid of Nail fungus
Just search the internet and you will find many individuals’
testimonials that claim how vapor rub help them cure their nail fungus.
Even Dr Blum states that many of her patients have vouched how effective
vapor rub is on nail fungus. Some claim that it is the methanol in the
rub that get rids of the fungus while other believes that the thick gel
stops’ fungus from growing and thus killing it. If you use vapor rub on
the fungus, it not only kills the fungus but get rids of the infected
toenail as well. Eventually, a new and fungus-free nail grows in its
place.
Oatmeal helps in soothing Eczema
According to Dr Robin, oatmeal helps in reducing inflammations. Experts
recommend grounding the oatmeal so that it becomes a thick paste and
then applying it on the affected skin for around fifteen minutes. The
oatmeal paste not only reduces the inflammation, but it also has an
anti-histamine property. Dr Robin explained that this would help
decreases the level of histamine on the skin that is responsible for the
inflammation.
Eat yogurt to get rid of bad breath
A bad breath can be a result of two things – the stomach or the mouth.
Yogurt has been neutralizing powers that can treat bad breath. According
to Dr Robert Meltzer, gastroenterologist, the yogurt neutralizes the
acid between a person’s mouth and stomach that causes bad breath.
Eating sugar to cure nonstop hiccups
Dr Edgar Engelman gathered 20 patients in 1971, who were experiencing
uncontrollable hiccups. Some of the subjects even had hiccups for more
than six weeks! He asked them to eat a spoonful of sugar and voila! The
subjects’ hiccups disappeared. Dr Andre Dubois believes that eating
sugar changes the nervous impulse in the mouth. This would stop the
diaphragm’s muscles from contracting spasmodically. So next time you
suffer from non-stop hiccups, just eat a spoonful of sugar.
