I found some of these first aid remedies that you can do at home to be
\npretty good ideas…now if they work, that’s another story.<\/p>\n
You Have a First-Degree Burn<\/p>\n
The trick: Smother it with onions. Icing cuts circulation, and you need
\nhealthy blood cells for healing, says Martin Ehrlich, M.D., of Beth
\nIsrael Medical Center, in New York City. Instead, expel excess heat by
\nrunning cool water over the burn for several minutes, then cut an onion
\nin half and let it rest on the wound. Onions contain a mild analgesic,
\nsays Dr. Ehrlich.\n <\/p>\n
Your Hand Is Full of Thorns<\/p>\n
The trick: Coax them out with candle wax or duct tape. Light a candle
\nand pour melted wax on the hand, let the wax harden, then peel it off,
\nsays Dr. Tallman. This should free the more stubborn spines. Then use
\nthe sticky side of duct tape or roll a lint brush over the area to pick
\nup the stragglers. Gently, of course.<\/p>\n
Your Tooth Is Killing You<\/p>\n
The trick: First, make an appointment with your dentist. Then suck on a
\nclove near the throbbing chopper. The oil in the clove acts as a mild
\nlocal anesthetic, says oral surgeon Richard Crinzi, D.D.S. Plus, it will
\nfreshen that dragon mouth.\n <\/p>\n
And the best one, which I will definitely try….<\/p>\n
You Feel Like Puking<\/p>\n
The trick: Make a golf-ball bracelet. Sailors swear by ginger to
\nsuppress seasickness and general nausea. But there’s an acupuncture
\ntrick that works just as well if you’re feeling queasy, says Dr.
\nEhrlich. Find the pressure point “pericardium number six”: From the heel
\nof your palm, measure three finger widths toward your elbow. In the
\ncenter of the wrist area, tape a golf ball snug against that point, and
\nyour stomach should calm down.\n <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
