Mom’s Tips for Home Remedies

Do you recognize this? You’re dealing with something, and your mom always seems to have an ointment that helps.
When we had a minor ailment at home growing up, my mother always knew something that could help. I’ve written down a few remedies for you. Read on to see how these home remedies can help!

Lemon

If you regularly suffer from heartburn or a bloated feeling, start the day with a glass of warm water with lemon. This stimulates digestion and helps hydrate the body. Lemons are rich in vitamin C. It is said that drinking lemon water can also help balance the body’s pH levels and promote liver function.

Honey

A spoonful of honey is effective for a sore throat. Honey is known for its antibacterial and anti-inflammatory properties. It works as a natural soothing agent, which means it coats the throat and reduces irritation. Additionally, honey has antimicrobial activity, which helps fight infections. Honey is also found in cough remedies.

Garlic

When you have a bad cold, it’s good to eat extra garlic because it contains allicin. That’s a compound with powerful medicinal properties. Regular consumption of garlic reduces the frequency of colds and shortens recovery time. Garlic also has antiviral and antimicrobial properties, which support overall health.

Chamomile

If you’re having trouble sleeping, drink a cup of chamomile tea before going to bed. Chamomile is known for its calming properties, which can help promote a good night’s sleep. It contains antioxidants such as apigenin, which have a mild calming effect.

Ginger

Feeling nauseous? Ginger is known to be effective in reducing nausea. It contains gingerols, compounds with strong anti-inflammatory and antioxidant effects, which can help reduce muscle pain and arthritis pain, and support digestion.

Oatmeal

A great remedy for skin irritation is taking an oatmeal bath. This can be especially soothing for the skin. Oatmeal contains unique antioxidants that have anti-inflammatory and anti-itch properties. Finely ground oatmeal in bathwater also helps retain moisture in the skin, which has a soothing and protective effect on irritated skin.

Note: This is a DIY product. If you decide to make and use it yourself, it’s at your own risk.
