Are you falling sick often? It could be because of low immunity. If you’re susceptible to fevers, headaches or a sore throat, these home remedies will help you reduce them considerably with just a few ingredients you can find in your kitchen. Here are some of the common illnesses that can be reduced with organic ingredients. So, let’s get right to it.
1. Sore Throat
Mix 1 teaspoon of ginger, honey, 1⁄2 cup of hot water, and 1⁄2 squeezed lemon. Gargle this mixture when it’s hot. Honey coats the throat to hydrate it and also has antibacterial properties.
2. Fever
A lukewarm tub bath or a sponge bath will help reduce a fever and as the water evaporates from the skin, it will cool the body and bring the temperature down.
3. Stiff Neck
To relax a stiff neck, run hot water on your neck in the shower then quickly shift it to cold water. Repeat this two to three times in the span of twenty seconds each. This will increase and decrese blood flow that’ll help relaxing the nerves.
4. Insomnia
Sip on a cup of chamomile tea before you hit the bed. It calms your senses and helps you fall asleep faster.
5. Headaches
Place an ice pack on the back of your neck. Ice reduces inflammation that helps cure the headache faster.
6. Hangovers
Hangovers are caused majorly due to dehydration. The best thing to do is hydrate yourself by eating watermelons or drinking a lot of water. Also, get plenty of rest.
7. Chapped Lips
Since chapped lips are caused due to dryness, it’s important to hydrate them with either butter or ghee. Even vaseline really helps.
Sometimes, you can use staples at home to comfort your body when you’re sick instead of popping pills. These remedies could save you the trouble of heading to the doctor for some minor common health problems.
