Home Remedies

Woman's Day magazine recommends Eight Home Remedies that really work (though they don't always know why).

1. Duct Tape to Remove Warts - just don't expect an overnight cure. Two months of duct tape with a weekly pumice stone scrub was 85% effective. Freezing was only 60% effective.
2. Vapor Rub to cure Nail fungus - apply once or twice daily. This will also remove the infected nail and a new one will grow back.
3. A 15 minute soak in finely ground oatmeal for Eczema (skin inflamation)
4. Yogurt to cure bad breath
5. A spoonful of sugar to cure hiccups
6. Gently biting a pencil to cure a tension headache
7. Olives for early stages of nausea from motion sickness
8. Salt water gargle for sore throat.
   1 tablespoon salt to 8 ounces of water, but more salt is better than less.
