When we have a headache, it's really not necessary to always eat half a box of Nalgesins and when some other part of our body hurts, we don't always need to immediately run to the pharmacy and leave all our possessions there - at least if we know how to deal with things we already have at home . We present to you unusual home remedies that really and have been proven to work.
For a headache: an ordinary pencil
When we are stressed or full of worries, we subconsciously clench our jaw and teeth, and the muscle that connects our jaw to our shadows gives us a headache. All you have to do is place the pencil in your mouth between your teeth (but don't bite it) as this will automatically relax your jaw.

For sore feet: tennis balls
Pain in the legs after standing or walking all day can be caused by free mini massage drive away quite simply. We simply roll a tennis ball under our bare soles for a while, but of course we can also use anything else that is at hand and can be rotated: for example, a can or a bottle.
For hiccups: sugar
When you can't stop hiccups, eat a teaspoon of sugar. This will stop the hiccups in a few minutes by affecting the nervous muscles. Of course, it is never wise to overdo it with sugar.

For bad breath: yogurt
Live microorganisms in yogurt according to some research reduce the impact of bacteria, which cause bad breath in our mouths, as they create an environment that is not favorable for the life of these "bad" bacteria.
For unpleasant odor when sweating: baking soda
If you are bothered by the unpleasant smell when you sweat, you can instead of deodorant use a more natural preparation: baking soda. Simply apply it to your underarms or legs with a slightly damp cotton pad and say goodbye to smelly t-shirts.
For nausea while driving: olives or lemons
When we get sick while driving, we start to produce more saliva, which makes us feel like throwing up. Nausea is alleviated by tannins, which are an integral part of olives and which they dry out our mouths, and lemon also has a similar effect.
For eczema: olive oil
The best remedy for eczema and other skin irritations is olive oil, which is full of antioxidants. Olive oil is extremely moisturizing, so it is no wonder that it is a basic ingredient in many lotions, and when applied to a sensitive or irritated area, it will nourish and soothe the skin.
