Soap On Mosquito Bite - BY ANNA S.
When you get a big mosquito bite, take a bar of soap and rub it on your mosquito bite. Don't wet the soap, just rub it on dry. Wash off any excess soap before you go to bed. This takes the itch and redness away from the mosquito bite and makes it look smaller.
Burns - BY KEALY
I welded for a couple of years and would get really bad burns. There are two things that helped me a lot....one is honey and the other is bag balm. They both work well to help the healing process along.
Home Remedy For Mosquito Bites - BY CATHY L.
The best thing to use for Mosquito Bites is banana peels. Just rub the bite with the inside of the peel. The itch will stop immediately. I always keep them in the freezer, so they are always available. All the grandchildren are amazed at how quick this remedy works. When they do get a bite, they always come running and ask me for the banana peel from the freezer. They know I always keep them on hand. Why pay a high price for over-the-counter ointments and sprays for bug bites? You can have instant relief from a simple banana peel that ordinarily would have been thrown in the trash. Try this, it really works.
Indigestion - BY GINGER W.
A simple solution for indigestion we have found is a half teaspoon of baking soda to half cup of water...the soda brings the PH back to normal, if it is too acidic. It really works well, and fast.
Soothing Sunburns - BY MANDY
My mom told me about this. To soothe sunburns, simply apply either vinegar or Noxzema. cools down your skin wonderfully.
