Great home remedies!

These great home remedies are..

tried..

true..

and

doctor tested!

To get rid of that

'over-stuffed' feeling...eat a little bit

of fresh..or canned..pineapple.

Pineapple contains the enzyme,

bromelain, which helps you digest your food.

Tea bags are multi-purpose.

They can:

reduce puffiness around the eyes,

dry up cancer sores and cold sores,

and

reduce the inflammation caused by

sunburn.

Coffee helps asthmatics

breathe better.

According to Dr. Bruce Krieger at

Miami Mout Sinai Medical Center,

"coffee acts as a mild brochodilator..."

and

"coffee can also prevent a mild asthma attack from getting worse."

Studies showed that

asthmatics were able to breathe better

after drinking three cups of

caffeinated coffee.

(It doesn't work with de-caffeinated.)

A little relief from colds and allergies

Colds and Allergies

Bronchitis: For mild bronchitis symptoms, use a vaporizer, take a steamy shower or turn the hot water on in the sink and cover your head and the sink with a towel (kind of a quick and easy sauna) to ease your discomfort and open up your chest.

Congestion: Red pepper, jalapenos and hot salsa will temporarily open up your nasal passages and break up congestion.

Echinacea: I drink echinacea tea at the very first sign of a cold. A favorite...Echinacea and Elderberry..mmmm!

Green tea: Green tea is a natural antihistamine, which helps both allergies and coldsSaline nose drops: Make your own nose drops by sprinking some salt in boiled water (about 1/4 cup) to break up congestion and help you breathe. (Or you can get it already bottled and ready to use at the local drug store.)

Salt water Gargle: To help a sore throat, gargle salt water several times daily.Thyme: Make a tea with thyme or add a little to your recipes when you cook to break up congestion and relieve stuffy noses.

Vicks Up: Rub a little Vick's Vapor Rub or another menthol salve on the upper chest, then rub what is left on your fingers under your nose, this can break up congestion and help you breathe more easily.

Vitamin C and Colds: Taking Vitamin C, even if you're already sick can shorten the average cycle of your cold.Vitamin C and Allergies: Taking Vitamin C also helps allergies, because of its ability to counteract the inflammation responses that are part of hay fever and asthma.
