Athlete?s foot

Sprinkle baking soda on your feet and between your toes, or apply a paste made with one tablespoon of baking soda and lukewarm water. Wait 15 minutes, rinse, and dry your feet thoroughly.

Black Eyes and Bruises

Firstly, treat the injury for 15 minutes with an ice-pack wrapped in a towel, to constrict the blood vessels. Remove the ice pack for ten minutes to allow your skin to warm up, and then repeat the treatment. Switch to heat the next day to dilate blood vessels and improve circulation (a warm, wet facecloth will work). To get rid of the discoloration, eat a few pawpaws. An enzyme in the fruit makes it easier for the body to re-absorb the blood trapped under your skin.

Bloodshot Eyes

If your eyes itch, your problem is probably allergies. A cold facecloth held over closed eyes will shrink blood vessels and reduce redness. If you?re eyes don?t itch, the problem is fatigue or a head cold. A warm facecloth will help your eyes relax.

Blurry computer vision

Tape a piece of newspaper to the wall about two meters from your computer screen. Every 15 to 30 minutes, look at the newspaper and bring the headlines into focus. Then look at your monitor. Do this five times, and then get back to work.

Burn on the roof of your mouth

If you over-nuked your leftover pizza and scorched the roof of your mouth, use an over-the-counter cough lozenge with benzocaine to cut the pain. If you don?t have any try sugar.

Cold Sores

Hold a wet tea bag on the sore; the tannin from the tea acts as an astringent.

Shin Splints

Arch your toes back towards your body while gently rubbing your calf. Start behind the knee and slide your hand down the muscle to the heel, then repeat. Rub along the length of the muscle, not across it.

Frosty finger

Heat up your digits by immersing them in warm water. Avoid rubbing your fingers together; it may damage the skin.

Hangnails

Use manicure scissors to trim of any sharp, dried skin around the edge of the nail. Then rub petroleum jelly over and around the nail, and leave overnight. The jelly will trap moisture and soften the dry skin underneath.

Heartburn

Chew a stick of sugar free gum ? the increase saliva will help your stomach acid flow, and it will also coat and protect your esophagus.

Hoarseness

Your vocal chords need rest, so don?t speak ? or even whisper. To get rid of the frog in your throat, take five to ten minutes shower, drink warm herbal tea with a slice lemon, and avoid caffeine, smoke, alcohol, and large or fatty late-night meals.

Ingrown Toenails

Soak your foot in war water to soften the nail. Then roll a small piece of cotton to the thickness of a candle wick, soak it with iodine, and place it between the skin and the tip of your nail. Wrap the toe with gauze, tape it, and change the dressing daily until the nail grows out.

Sunburn

Take an oatmeal bath. Wrap a cupful of oatmeal in sheeting or cheesecloth and hang it from your tap, so that the bath water runs directly over it as the tub is filling. No one knows exactly how the oatmeal works to soothe the pain, but you will feel better.

Nosebleeds

Sit up, so that gravity will lower the vein pressure inside your nose. Tilt your head forward slightly to keep blood from running down your throat.

Poison Ivy

If you know you?ve touched the stuff, you have ten to 30 minutes to wash the area and prevent a skin reaction. Soap and water work fine.

Rashes

Rub a paste of crushed vitamin C tablets and water on your skin.

Sensitive teeth

To prevent pain, smear a dab of petroleum jelly over your gums before bed.

Sore feet

Pour a handful of hard, uncooked beans into your slippers and walk around a few minutes. The rolling beans create an instant message. Then hold your feet under the bath tap. Run the water on hot one minute, cold the next. Alternate for ten minutes, ending in a cold rinse. To prevent future pain, sp[read marbles on the floor and pick then up with your toes.

Sore throat

For mild sore throat, there?s nothing better than gargling with warm salt water. You can try an old Roman trick: blend tomato juice with two cloves of garlic and a dash of Worcestershire sauce. Then drink it down.

Spicy food

To reduce the burn from a fajita, order a dish of rich ice cream, dip into the sour cream that?s already on the table, or send the waitress for a beer or margarita. Capsaicin, the substance that gives pepper their zing, dissolves readily in alcohol and fat. Rice and bread are also effective.

Splinters

Soak the area in warm water for up to 15 minutes. This makes the wood swell, which often causes the splinter to pop out on its own. If you want to pluck it with tweezers and you?re having trouble spotting the little nuisance, press a penlight to the sore spot. Light will pass through the skin and highlight the splinter?s angle and depth. If that doesn?t help, pour a thin layer of white glue over your finger. Let it dry, and then peel it of. The splinter will usually come off with the glue.
