Here are some very basic things we can do with our household-available resources when we talk about commonly experienced aches and pains or illnesses:
1. Toothache (due to a cavity).
Out of toothache drops? Need not worry, this simple trick does the same effect.
After a gargle of lukewarm water with an amount of table salt, get small pieces of a freshly chopped garlic and carefully put them inside the tooth cavity. The warm salt solution will work as a mouthwash and will help soothe the aching gums while the garlic will work as a natural antiseptic due to its antibacterial properties. For added pain relief, apply your favorite menthol ointment by a light massage just outside the aching region.
Works all the time, adults and children alike.
2. Rashes
Whether its due to the summer heat or diaper allergies, rashes are very uncomfortable and hard to deal with, specially with the little ones.
One common practice done in easing irritating rashes is applying petroleum jelly. But there is a better alternative--cornstrach. Cornstarch, unlike petroleum jelly (which is technically a wax) which feels warm, cools the skin while leaving it dry and non-greasy.
More to it, applying cornstarch every during diaper change instead of a baby powder is guaranteed to keep babies free from diaper rash. How economical, it's even cheaper than both the petroleum jelly and baby powder! That's why I definitely recommend these to all moms out there.
3. Cuts, Bruises, Wounds
Loyal to iodine solution for cleaning wounds and bruises? Here's another great alternative, commonly for free. Locally known as malunggay, Moringa is a very powerful antiseptic that can be applied topically, just like any commercial antiseptic, but with less stinging sensation.
What to do? Just pick some young Moringa leaves, crush with clean hands until enough extracts come out and apply directly to the affected area previously washed with mild soap and water.
