A Collection of Home Remedies Worth Trying

I just read an article on preventing Urinary Tract Infections – something of interest to me, because I’ve had a few of them in the past few years – and there was a comment on the article with what looked like a really good suggestion. It occurred to me that there are probably a lot of great home remedies out there worth trying, before resorting to antibiotics and other modern medicine treatments. So, I figured I’d post this one here, and invite my readers to post their own.

Urinary tract infections:
It could also be an alkaline imbalance, which has similar symptoms to a UTI (bladder pressure, the need to pee, painful urination). I suggest drinking an 8-10 ounce glass of water with 2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar and 1 tablespoon baking soda (it will fizz up), followed by a couple of glasses of water. If it’s an alkaline imbalance, you’ll feel relief within about an hour. Drink a couple of glasses of that a day for a few days.

Sore throats:
Something I swear by to deal with a sore throat – before it progresses into full-blown illness – is Oil of Oregano. Take 5 drops under your tongue (and yes, it’ll burn). Don’t drink water (or anything else) for a while afterward; give it a chance to do its job, which is killing whatever’s causing the sore throat.
