Vegetable Oil for Brittle Nails



If brittle nails are confiscating the beauty of your supple hands, give them a treat of vegetable oil. Rub vegetable oil to your hands and nails before hitting the hay, and cover them with a plastic wrap. It will allow the oil to penetrate the nails and skin of your hands, and prevents them from getting dried.

Tennis Ball for Achy Feet



Standing on your feet for long hours may cause soreness and ache in the feet. Give the tennis ball a try to take away your pain. Put a tennis ball beneath your foot. Roll it forth and back many times, giving special focus to the aching areas. Rolling them on a bottle of frozen water can also give you relief from the throbbing pain.

Stripped screw head? Use a rubberband to get a grip to remove it.

It may sound crazy to think that something as simple as a bandage could heal something as complicated as psoriasis, but for some lucky folks, that might be all it takes. Back in the 1980s, Ronald N. Shore, a doctor from Johns Hopkins Hospital, discovered that when he covered a spot of psoriasis with a regular adhesive bandage for three weeks, the skin covered by the adhesive–but not by the gauze pad–healed completely. He went on to repeat the treatment on other lesions on his patient’s elbows-and these also healed completely. Dr. Shore noted that this trick seems to work best when combined with other psoriasis treatments; it appeared to be effective on its own for only a minority of patients.

Make like an ancient healer. Acupressure is an ancient Chinese healing art. Think of it as needle-free acupuncture. Use your left thumb and index finger to press the areas next to the inner eyes on both sides of the bridge of your nose. At the same time, use your fingers and the heel of your other hand to grab muscles on both sides of the spine at the back of your neck. Put pressure on all four points for about one minute. Press out the pain.

Weird as it may sound, giving your sinuses a finger massage will increase circulation to the area and help erase the pain. Here’s how: Using your index fingers, press hard on the outer edge of your nostrils at the base of the nose. Hold for 30 seconds, release, and repeat three or four times.

Natural Remedies: Arthritis

Did you know more than 15 million people over the age of 45 complain of osteoarthritis? If you feel pain and stiffness in yourjoints caused by inflammation, see our natural remedies for arthritis.

  • Ice your affected joints right after doing an activity. Don't allow them to become inflamed.
  • Capsaicin—the "hot" chemical in chili peppers—can relieve the pain of arthritis. You can find it over the counter at drugstores. Don't get carried away with this idea and try smearing yourself directly with chili peepers—that's a higher potency than most skin will tolerate.
  • Increase the amount of fish in your diet or take fish oil pills.
  • Exercise regularly.
  • Stretch for 18 to 20 minutes a day. Focus your stretching where it hurts the most, but increase flexibility all over.
  • Pack a small jar with golden raisins and cover them with gin. Eat nine raisins every morning, squeezing the extra gin back in the jar.
  • Bee-vemon contains anti-inflammatory peptides that act against the pain and inflammation of your arthritis. If you're allergic to bees, do not use this remedy without the supervision of a doctor. Even if you aren't allergic, buy a bee sting kit from your pharmacy and keep it handy.
