It’s common to face minor health problems as we go about our daily lives. In some instances, there may be simple solutions right at home to relieve these minor problems. Let's explore eight such common health issues from head to toes, and learn how to effectively treat them on our own.

(1) Headaches

If you’re having a migraine or a throbbing headache, a soothing cup of peppermint tea or lime water can help ease the tension.

(2) Hangovers

It’s important to rehydrate when you suffer from a hangover. Coconut water is packed with essential electrolytes such as potassium, sodium, magnesium, phosphorus, and calcium, making it a great option to help with hydration.

(3) Nausea

Studies have shown that ginger can help reduce nausea in various situations. Sip on 4 cups (950 ml) of ginger tea made from freshly steeped slices or grated ginger to ease queasiness.

(4) Bad Breath

Coconut oil has been used for centuries as an effective oral hygiene practice. Swish coconut oil for 10 to 20 minutes in your mouth to reduce harmful bacteria, fend off tooth decay, and enhance dental wellness.

(5) Sore Muscles

A warm bath eases sore muscles by boosting blood flow. To prevent further muscle damage and speed up the recovery process, use crushed ice in a damp towel to ice your sore spots.

(6) Skin Rashes

Aloe vera gel is effective to soothe rashes and skin irritation. Wash the affected skin area with mild soap and water, pat dry, and apply aloe vera gel over your skin. Reapply it several times per day as needed.

(7) Minor Burns or Scalds

After a minor burn, run it under cool (not cold) water for 20 minutes, then gently cleanse the area with mild soap. Apply a thin layer of honey or aloe vera gel over the affected area – make sure they do not contain additives such as colouring and perfume.

(8) Smelly Feet

Foot odour is usually caused by the growth of bacteria and fungi. Baking soda's natural antibacterial and antifungal properties can help eliminate the smell. Soak your feet in water, baking soda, and lemon mix to control odour, kill germs, and soften your skin. You can do this daily as needed.
