Next time you wake up with a sore throat or a few spots, perhaps you don’t have to run straight to the doctor. You could try opening the kitchen cupboard instead! There are many natural remedies hiding there. In the past, people had to use natural remedies to cure health problems.

GARLIC
Garlic has a bad reputation because of its strong smell, but it’s great for your immune system! If you have a cold or the flu, you can add chopped garlic to hot water with a little honey and lemon and make some tea. Got a few spots? You could try rubbing garlic on them. Garlic has antibacterial qualities so the spots will disappear in no time.

VINEGAR
People have used vinegar as a natural remedy for over 6,000 years! It’s great for minor cuts or itchy rashes. Do you have a sunburn so painful you can’t move? You could try adding one cup of white vinegar to a cool bath. This will soothe your skin.

HONEY
Next time you have a sore throat, try swallowing a spoonful of honey. Like garlic, honey helps destroy bacteria. If you have a cut or a graze, just put a little honey on it and cover it with a plaster. It might help you with insomnia, too. Drinking a glass of warm milk with some honey in it can help you sleep.

TEA
Can you feel a headache coming on? Boil some water and make yourself a nice cup of tea! The caffeine in the tea will open up the constricted blood vessels that cause a headache. Also, if you suffer from hay fever and have itchy, watery eyes all summer, put cold, wet tea bags over them. The tannin in the tea will really help!

BAKING SODA
Do you have smelly feet? Sprinkle some baking soda in your shoes and have odour-free feet all day long. Baking soda is a great natural antiperspirant. It can also help with indigestion because it neutralises stomach acid. Just mix a teaspoon into a glass of water and drink it slowly.

GINGER
Do you have an upset stomach? You could try chewing a piece of ginger. You can also do this before a journey if you suffer from travel sickness. Ginger may also help you if you have bad breath.
