When you have a tiny health problem, do you usually go to the doctor, get something from the drugstore(药店), or use a home remedy(治疗)?
In fact, when people have a cold, a fever, or the flu, they usually go to the doctor for help, or they get some medicine from the drugstore. But many people also use home remedies for common illnesses. Here are some simple home remedies.
Wash the bite. Put some meat tenderizer on a handkerchief and then put the handkerchief on the bite for half an hour. To avoid being biten, it's helpful to eat garlic or take garlic pills.
Put the burn under cold water or put a cold handkerchief(手帕)on it. Then apply aloe veragel(芦荟膏)to the burn. It's important not to put ice on the burn.
Lots of people eat hot chicken soup when they have a cold. They find that it clears the head and the nose. Some people rub oil on their chest for a cold. Other people drink a mixture of red pepper, hot water, sugar, lemon juice, and milk or vinegar.
Put an ice pack or cold cloth on your head, or wash your face with cold water. It's also a good idea to put your hands into hot water and leave them there for several minutes. Also, you shouldn't read or watch TV.
