Remedies

                                 

These are home health remedies that have been emailed to me or that I found on the Internet.  I have not tried them all and do NOT guarantee the effectiveness of them.  If you try one and it works, or if you have one that works for you, please email me.  Thanks.

Warts

• Try taping a slice of garlic to the wart. Be sure to first protect the surrounding skin with petroleum jelly.

This was forwarded to me by my mother.  I already knew and used several of these but a few of them are totally new to me and I will be trying them soon.

Reheat Pizza
Heat up leftover pizza in a non-stick skillet on top of the stove,

set heat to med-low and heat till warm. This keeps the crust

crispy.  No soggy micro pizza. I saw this on the cooking channel

and it really works.  Mona, Orlando, FL

 

Easy Deviled Eggs
Put cooked egg yolks in a zip lock bag. Seal, mash till they are all

broken up.  Add remainder of ingredients, reseal, and keep mashing

it up mixing thoroughly, cut the tip of the baggy, squeeze mixture

into egg. Just throw bag away when done easy clean up.

Expanding Frosting
When you buy a container of cake frosting from the store, whip it

with your mixer for a few minutes. You can double it in size. You get

to frost more cake/cupcakes with the same amount.  You also

eat less sugar/calories  per serving. Kathy, Mesick, MI

 

Reheating refrigerated bread
To warm biscuits, pancakes, or muffins that were refrigerated,

place them in a microwave with a cup of water. The increased

moisture will keep the food moist and help it reheat faster.

Dave, Camden, DE

 

Newspaper weeds away
Start putting in your plants, work the nutrients in your soil.

Wet newspapers put layers around the plants overlapping as

you go cover with mulch and forget about weeds. Weeds will get

through some gardening plastic they will not get through wet

newspapers. Linda, Monmouth Jct., NJ

 

Broken Glass
Use a dry cotton ball to pick up little broken glass pieces of

glass- the fibers catch ones you can't see! Olive, Santee, CA

 

No More Mosquitoes
Place a dryer sheet in your pocket. It will keep the mosquitoes

away. Diane, Moran, SC

 

Squirrel Away!
To keep squirrels from eating your plants sprinkle your

plants with cayenne pepper. The cayenne pepper doesn't

hurt the plant and the squirrels won't come near it.

Kathy, Maumelle, AR

 

Child's Bike Hint
If you purchase a new bike for your child, place their picture

inside the handle bar before placing the grips on. if the bike is

 stolen and later recovered, remove the grip and there is your

proof who owns the bike. Janet, Carthage, IL

 

Flexible vacuum
To get something out of a heat register or under the fridge

add an empty paper towel roll or empty gift wrap roll

to your vacuum. It can be bent or flattened to get in

narrow openings. Donna, Anderson, SC

 

Reducing Static Cling
Pin a small safety pin to the seam of your slip and you will not

have a clingy skirt or dress. Same thing works with slacks that

cling when wearing panty hose. Place pin in seam of slacks

and - voila - static is gone. Pam, Maple Rapids, NH

 

Measuring Cups
Before you pour sticky substances into a measuring cup,

fill it with hot water. Dump out the hot water, but don't dry

the cup. Next, add your ingredient, such as peanut butter,

and watch how easily it comes right out. Kim, Goldsboro, NC

 

Foggy Windshield?
Hate foggy windshields? Buy a chalkboard eraser and keep it

in the glove box of your car. When the windows fog, rub with

the eraser!  Works better than a cloth!  Alicia, Tampa, FL

 

Conditioner
Use your hair conditioner to shave your legs. It's a lot

cheaper than shaving cream and leaves your legs really smooth.

It's also a great way to use up the conditioner you bought but

didn't like when you tried it in your hair... Kerry, Canada,

 

Goodbye Fruit Flies
To get rid of pesky fruit flies, take a small glass fill it

1/2" deep with Apple Cider Vinegar and 2 drops of dish

washing liquid, mix well. You will find those flies drawn

to the cup and gone forever! Barbara, Birch Run, MI

 

Get Rid of Ants
Put small piles of cornmeal where you see ants.

They eat it, take it "home, & can't digest it so it

 kills them. It may take a week or so, esp. if it rains,

but it works & you don't have the worry about pets

or small children being harmed! Teresa, Mitchell, SD

 

Take baby powder to the beach
Keep a small bottle of baby powder in your beach bag.

When your ready to leave the beach sprinkle yourself and

kids with the powder and the sand will slide right off your skin.
