an hour.

5. If your dog has fleas, a simple bath
with water and some dish soap will get
rid of them.
6. Got a splinter you can’t pull out?

7. You can make an easy sore throat
medicine by mixing equal amounts of
honey and vinegar, and swallowing a
spoonful six times a day.
8. Painful zit? Dab some honey on it
and cover with a Bandaid. The honey
disinfects the skin, helping it heal faster.
9. If the soles of your feet and very
calloused, you can grind 2-3 liquorice
sticks, mix them with half a teaspoon
of Vaseline, and then rub it into the soles.
10. To ease arthritis pain, mix two cups
of oatmeal with a cup of water, warm up
for a minute in the microwave, allow the
oats to cool down, then apply it to the
sore joints.
11. If you’re suffering from a congested
nose, you can get extra-strong mints instead
of a spray that’s full of chemicals.
Mint has powerful decongestive
properties.
12. To effectively fight a urinary infection,
drink a cup of water with a tablespoon
of baking soda (or Alka Selzer). The
infection needs an acidic environment
to thrive, and the solution is a base,
making your bladder inhospitable to
the bacteria.
13. Suffering from an infected toenail
or fungus? Soak your feet in a bath of
classic Listerine (or other such mouthwash),
diluted with a little water.
14. Infected zits and sores can be
treated with a compress of tomato
paste. The tomatoes’ acidity helps
kill the infection and heal the area.
15. If your cat is suffering from ear
mites, gently rub corn oil into the cat’s
inner ear. The oil soothes the skin while
suffocating the mites.
