Really like this article. I wanted to add a couple of things: For minor burns or scalds (in addition to the suggested aloe), try an organic lavender essential oil direct – I use the dropper and allow 1-3 drops to fall directly on the burn (depending on its size). I’m not kidding, it’s a natural analgesic – the pain is gone in just a few seconds and it lasts ages. The other thing I wanted to mention was how potent tea tree or lemongrass essential oils are on athlete’s foot. If you add a few drops to a foot bath, a few drops to some carrier oil and massage into the toes etc., and a simple neat drop on any nail fungus, you’ll be amazed at the results. Cheers!

The garlic in the ear really does work for an ear infection! I don’t use the oil though, I just chop a sliver off a garlic clove and stick it halfway into my ear. It’s a very cheap, easy and effective remedy for an ear infection.

Hey Simmons, something else that is effective for hot/spicy food relief is plain yogurt. Much better than cold water or anything, dairy seem to neutralize the heat in food. But keep ‘er plain.

Courtney, I know that for diarrhea what works is to grate an apple and eat it. That works because the grating brings out the pectin and it’s the pectin that helps.

Arnica has been used in Europe for centuries. It’s great on bruises.

Witch hazel is good to have on hand as well. Nice on the skin after shaving. And will actually prevent hemorrhoids

This isn’t a remedy but more of a tip: If you need a personal lubricant, shaving gel, massage gel etc. take some flax seed, soak them in boiled water for about 15 min. then simmer for about 15 min. let settle and strain whilst hot. store in a jar in the fridge with a bit of hydrogen peroxide in it to keep it fresher longer – it does go off. handle with clean utensils.
I use about 2 parts water to seed, but experiment to get the thickness you want.

Hydrogen peroxide is also a great thing to keep on hand.

Thanks for the post, you think these simple remedies would be something everyone would know but in today’s world of over the counter fixes it’s easy to forget.

I know a few of these remedies I will be doing tonight to try and get over this horrible cold I’ve been battling!
