There has been a modernization trend going on in several aspects of our lives that we have almost forgotten that there are some natural remedies that we can use. Some of them are practically right under our noses – inside our kitchen cupboards, or just outside the house just waiting to be plucked and used for such purposes. With the growing trend to go back to nature, it is high time that we re-discover some rather unorthodox solutions to common, everyday problems that we run to the doctor for medication.
Aloe vera. Usually found in your gardens or potted, aloe vera is a virtual natural cornucopia of remedies. Place it around the house and it will absorb toxic chemicals such as formaldehyde right off. Got a nasty burn from your kitchen chores? Tear off a thick strand from the plant and rub the gel-like inside onto your scathed or burned area for an immediate topical cooling agent. Hair needs a quick shine, volume or just problematically dry? Squeeze the insides of the plant onto water and use it to massage your scalp and hair for instant results!
Garlic. While it is true that munching on garlic can cause malodorous breath, it does give you a lot of medical benefits. If you have a toothache, just crush one garlic and then put it on the teeth. The taste would be a bit bothersome but the chemicals in the garlic would soon numb your nerves and ease the pain. Eating garlic would also lower your heart disease risk and lower blood pressure levels as well.
