Cinnamon: Honey is an unprocessed antibacterial agent that kills

sign of a cold. Fluids: Simply Drink plenty of water. Staying
hydrated is very important, especially when you're sick and your
throat is irritated or inflamed. You should be drinking enough
fluid so that your urine is light yellow or clear. This keeps your
mucous membranes moist and better able to combat bacteria and
irritants like allergens, and makes your body better able to fight
back against other symptoms.5Saltwater gargle: . You simply need to
dissolve a half teaspoon of salt in one cup of water. Then you just
simply gargle the liquid, but remember to spit the water out after
gargling. If you dont like the salty taste you could add a small
amount of honey to sweeten the mixture. Studies have shown that
gargling warm salt water several times a day can loosen mucus,

the throat.Tea: Non-herbal teas whether they're made with black,
green, or white leaves contain antioxidants which strengthen

7. Cuts, Scrapes and Burns Cuts and burns can be really painful
unpleasant and might take a long time to heal. Here are a few ways
to help speed up the healing process at home yourself. Potatoes for
burns: Immediately after you get burned cut a raw potato in half
and place it on the burned area. The pain will be instantly
relieved, and the healing begins. This works because potatoes are
full of moisture which helps wick away the heat from your skin.
They help moisturize the traumatized area this provides immediate
relief, plus they contain several vitamins that encourage quick
healing.7Cayenne Pepper for cuts: Cayenne pepper is incredibly high
in capsaicin. It dulls the nerve endings and sends messages to the
brain to slow down pain impulses, and it stop bleeding by clotting
the blood. You just sprinkle some ground cayenne pepper on a
bleeding open wound, then wrap a bandage around it. Leave this
bandage on for an hour or two. The bleeding is stopped, and the
pain is dulled.Honey for both: Honey is a great remedy for burns,
as it helps bring out the heat, lessening pain. Its also
moisturizing, so it will encourage the skin to heal faster. And for
scrapes and minor lacerations, its a highly effective
antimicrobial, which reduces the chances that cuts and scrapes will
get infected. You just slather it on and wrap a bandage. Make sure
to change the bandage every 4-6 hours until healed.
8. Heartburn For those who have experienced it, we know that
nothing ruins a great meal like heartburn. Aloe: You should drink
1/2 cup before your meals, but look for brands that say the
laxative component has been removed. Aloe vera juice reduces
inflammation, so it quiets down any inflammation that is in the
esophagus as well as the stomach.8Baking soda: You need to mix
between 1/2 and 1 teaspoon of baking soda with a glass of water.
Because it's a base, it helps neutralize heartburn. But avoid
making baking soda your go-to remedy if you regularly have
heartburn because its high in salt and could cause side effects
like swelling and nausea.Chewing gum: To eliminate heartburn you
can chew gum after a meal. Chewing gum stimulates the salivary flow
rate, Any acid that gathers in the gut is washed away and cleared
more quickly. The clearance of acid stops heartburn symptoms.Did
you know that Heartburn doesnt really happen in the heart?
9. Bruises Bruises happen when you hit your self hard, blood
vessels near your skin's surface break and blood leaks into the
surrounding tissue. This causes a nasty looking black-and-blue mark
which will remove on its own with time, here are some things you
can do speed up the process. Leech: You can apply a live leech, it
will remove the surface blood in a bruise in a few seconds. The
leech's saliva also acts as a mild painkiller, so you won't feel
the bite. To remove it simply apply rubbing alcohol or petroleum
jelly. This is only recommended if you can be sure that the leech
is farm-raised and free of disease.9Ice the area: By putting
something cold on the bruise it will reduce swelling and help it
heal more quickly. If you do this as soon as possible, so that you
can stop the bruise from spreading so far. Wrap the ice bag in a
towel or T-shirt, and lay it over the bruise.Rest: Its recommended
to take the day off both to prevent further injury and give your
bruise a chance to heal. Because working your muscles increases
blood flow to that area.
