Catching cold, or coming down with the flu is pretty common in winter, and its a horrible feeling every time. Having a sore throat is one of the worst feelings for me, and while there are plenty of drugs and pills that actually do a pretty good job of either covering up the discomfort or reducing it in some way, there are also plenty of totally natural remedies and things to help you get better. Here are a few quick and easy thing s to try at home. None of them involve any drugs or weird, potentially dangerous substances, so anyone can safely do it.

1. If you feel like you are coming down with a sore throat (that lumpy sore feeling you often get after a long day outdoors) try gargling with strong salty water. Dissolve 1-2 tsp of salt in a glass of warm water, and gargle it like mouthwash, after you have brushed your teeth. The idea is that the salt kills bacteria in your throat.

2. For sore throats wear a soft scarf to bed and around the house. This helps because the body can more easily fight off infections when temperature is kept close to actual core body temperature. Your neck and throat lose a lot of heat, and even very slightly lowered temperature is better for bacteria to survive in. Continue reading ‘Home Remedies For a Sore Throat’ »

You can help cure sweaty armpits by keeping away from foods that have strong aromas. Culprits are fish, garlic, onions and spices. Because these foods have their own pungent smells, they can cause armpit sweat to whiff even more.

If you’ve had no luck with regular deodorants, ask your pharmacist for an antiperspirant that contains an active ingredient that can minimize sweating. Or you could consult your doctor who might prescribe a stronger deodorant or medication. If your problem is really severe, you may need surgery.

You may want to try some natural remedies. It is said that malt vinegar is very useful to decrease armpit sweating. Apply a small amount on each armpit at night before going to bed. Wash it off thoroughly in the morning and then use your antiperspirant or deodorant. Shave your armpits because hair holds onto sweat which enables bacteria to breed.

Apparently aluminum chloride also works well. You can obtain this from your pharmacy. Before going to bed, wash your armpits well and dry them thoroughly. They must be completely dry, so use a hair dryer if necessary. When applied to damp or wet skin, the solution can aggravate the skin.
