Thrifty Tips for February 16th

Photobucket



Yesterday as I was speaking to a sick friend I became inspired.  Lightning didn't strike and no light bulbs flashed over my head, but my focus for today's post came to me like a shot.  Thrifty ways to cure or at the very least ease booboos, owies and other ailments.  Okay...booboos may not be an "ailment."

Got a cough?  Chewing two Altoids Peppermints helps clear it up by literally clearing up phlegm and congestion.  Who'd have known?

Oh...and though this is certainly not a pretty thing to note...Altoids also are good for revealing gas.  Again...chew two.  

Got a toothache?  Put oil of clove on a cotton ball and apply to the tooth.  If you lack the oil of clove, and I'd be surprised if you did have it, soak a cottonball with some vanilla extract and put that on the tooth.

Okay...I'm really not trying to get you sick here, but if vomiting is a problem, drink plenty of tea.  The tannins in the tea will relax the stomach contractions that can cause that heaving.  

Upset tummies are also calmed by flat cola.   It works especially well on nausea.

Leg cramps (restless leg at night) can be alleviated by (don't laugh) placing a fresh bar of soap under your bottom sheet by where your feet will be.  Apparently this works really well for restless leg syndrome and when the RLS comes back it is advised to just change the soap.  Give it a shot.


Warts giving you the blues?  Cut a square of banana peel.  Rub the inside of the banana peel on the wart and then tape the square to the wart.  I don't have a wart so I haven't tried it, but supposedly something about the potassium works the wart out.

Nose bleeds may stop more quickly when you try this quirky home remedy.  Get a nose bleed?  Have someone place cold keys behind your neck and back.  I heard that a cold washcloth works that way too.


FREEBIES


Like Nine West on Facebook and while supplies last, you can get a free sample of their Love Fury perfume.  The bottle is very, very cute.  It looks like it has a very high high-heel stuck in it.  Maybe my definition of cute is not quite like yours.  :)  Follow the link below.
