Who needs to call the doctor or a friend to ask for advice, when you can remember these 4 simple home remedies for common maladies.
Found them in the March issue of Woman’s Day.
 
Chapped lips: Try some honey and Vaseline. Wet your lips with warm water, and then apply a thin layer of honey. Let it dry. Takes just a few seconds. Then put on a layer of Vaseline and leave your lips alone for 15 minutes. Then take it all off with a q-tip. Do it daily for a few days.
 
Starting to feel sick: Salt water not only sooths inflamed tissues in your throat but also loosens mucus which helps flush out irritants like allergens and bacteria. They say gargling with salt water 3 times a day even cuts respiratory infections.  How much salt? Half a tsp in 8 ounces of water.
 
Bad Breath: Chew on a fresh sprig of parsley for a minute or two.
 
Stomach cramps: Chamomile tea!! Often works like a charm!!!
