Household Remedies

Warts
- To get rid of a wart fast, use nail polish (preferably colorless so it cannot be seen). Wart shoud be gone in a week.
- Another wart remover is to use duct tape on warts on your feet for 7 days...I just heard that one! Also, I just heard that if you go in your yard and take a dandelion and break it open, dab the milk from the dandelion on the wart
Sore Throat

Insomnia
- If you cannot sleep, eat spaghetti; it relieves tension.
- Heat up a glass of milk in the microwave and drink
Ear Infections
- Use lemon juice in your ear for an ear infection
- Hydrogen peroxide works for me. Drop a few drops in the ear and lean over to let it sink in ( it feels really cool too). It actually feels like it is working. I do this a few times a day and it gets rid of it quickly!
- For ear infections, especially swimmers ear, you can clear it up by putting a few drops of rubbing alcohol into your ear and draining it immediately a few times a day. It's better to do this to both ears after a swim to prevent the ear infection completely. I've had two terrible ear infections and I use alcohol every time I swim now. Do this at the first hint of ache or itchiness in your ear.
Bowel Problems
- To rid diarrhea, heat a cup of milk in microwave (not to a boil) and drink.

- Swallow a table spoon of olive oil for constipation
- Eat Fig for constipation
- Another great tip is to take a cup of warm milk and mix a teaspoon of oil or ghee in it
- This helped me a lot, DRINK AS MUCH WATER AS YOU CAN; and eat an apple, that worked for me!
