Achy muscles from severe flu? Mix 1 Tablespoon of horseradish in 1 cup of olive oil. Let the mixture sit for 30 minutes, then apply it as a massage oil, for instant relief for aching muscles.

Toenail fungus
Get rid of unsightly toenail fungus by soaking your toes in Listerine mouthwash. The powerful antiseptic leaves your toenails looking healthy again.
Toenail fungus
Apple Cider Vinegar (ACV) is good at fighting finger nail fungus. One draw back is if you stop taking the medicine the fungus will be back within a week. The fastest way to get rid of fingernail is vinegar mixed with a 3% hydrogen peroxide. The mixture is fifty fifty. We should be adding it with a dropper. Some people will feel as slight pinch after awhile.This should be followed by getting the hands soaked in Clorox bleach. For mild infection use one cap for half glass of water and leave your finger with fungus for about a minute. If you have severe fungus then try one cup Clorox to four caps water and again leave for about a minute.
Boils
Cover the boil with Hunt's tomato paste as a compress. The acids from the tomatoes soothe the pain and bring the boil to a head.
Broken blisters
To disinfect a broken blister, dab on a few drops of Listerine... a powerful antiseptic.

Drink first thing in the morning. After about 15 minutes your bowels should

Constipation
Eat 3-4 apples a day to relieve constipation. It does not matter what type of
apple you eat, but I like gala or Fuji apples since they are small and crisp. It
is best to use fresh organic apples when eating apples as a snack since you will
not know what pesticides were used in growing the apples. If apples are not
organic, it is better to peel the apple before eating. In addition to dietary
changes and stool softeners, many patients with constipation need a 'clean out'
regimen to help get backed up stool out. We should not have to frequently use
enemas or laxatives to help your patient have a BM.While there are some medical
causes of constipation, such as Hirschsprung's disease, cystic fibrosis and
hypothyroidism, most patients who are constipated are normal.
Constipation
Mulberry juice has many health benefits. It is good for digestive tract
illnesses. It can stimulate digestion and assimilation of nutrients in the small
intestine. It is useful for older people for reliving constipation. Mulberry
contains many minerals and vitamins. Boysenberry juice has a gentle natural
laxative action on your bowel. When your constipation is mild, this juice will
help move things in your colon.
Heart
burn/Indigestion/Acid reflux
Drink a teaspoon of vinegar every time it happens, or just after meal. Heart
burn is often cause by lack of stomach acid. The vinegar acts as an acid and
prevents the stomach from producing a rush of acid, which causes heart burn.

Pat on natural yogurt on the sunburn area. It really helps to soothe the
skin and replenish the lost moisture
