Handy tips and home remedies that work

Whiskey is by far the most popular of all remedies that won’t cure a cold, Jerry Vale.

Natural remedies might not be full bullet proof solutions, but they are healthy and also save you a lot of money on the medical bill. The problem of over-medication is growing rapidly, and some people are making tons of money from of it.

• Hiccups: Have someone scare you; drink with you head down from the wrong side of the glass or hold your breath for a few seconds.

• Constipation: Drink lots of water; eat fruits, veggies, fibre filled foods, and prunes; go to the bathroom at the same time everyday; do more exercise and have an active lifestyle.

  

• Conjunctivitis: the golden rule, do not touch or rub your eyes! Practice good hygiene, wash your hands frequently and thoroughly with soap and warm water, change your towel daily and don’t share it with anyone. You’ll also need to stop using eye cosmetics and contact lenses. Rinse your eyes with physiological saline or cold water. Get regular eye check-up and reduce screentime.

• Piles (haemorrhoids): If you want to avoid getting piles, you should go to the bathroom every day like clockwork, drink more water to prevent constipation, eat food rich in fibre (fruit, vegetables, legumes, etc.), and avoid alcohol and spicy foods. Do not use toilet paper, but wet wipes, warm water, and apply haemorrhoid creams.
