Q - T

 

"I DO NOT SNORE", says the snorer to their significant other, then the significant other tape records you snoring one night and plays the incriminating evidence against you. At first you think it's some wild animal that escaped from the local zoo, but soon you come to the realization, after saying a million times, "That's not me, is it?" well, you come to the realization that you snore. So here are some cures:

  1. Losing some weight reduces snoring. So get on that diet!
  2. Alcohol is another no no, because it loosens the muscles and makes snoring worst.
  3. Sleep on your side, it makes the snoring a little lower.
  4. Have your doctor order you a cervical collar, it may reduce the snoring sound.
  5. Apnea, if you have snoring and you stop breathing for a bit, you may have this serious condition called, Apnea. So visit your doctor!

Here are a few tips to get rid of the common sore throat:

  1. Eat garlic, yes, if you've read any of the other cures on this website you'll find that garlic is the leading treatment to many problems. It is because Garlic contains a antiviral and antibacterial agent. So eat your garlic, it's good for you. You can also get garlic pills, but I prefer the fresh garlic.
  2. Now here is a little drink that will help sooth a sore throat. Add lemon juice (from one lemon) some honey, to a glass of hot water. You'll feel a lot better instantly. I actually like to do this, but I will put the lemon and honey in a chamomile tea.
  3. Gargle with warm salt water.
  4. Once you get rid of the sore throat, get rid of your toothbrush, it may give you the sore throat again, and you don't want to get it back, so time to go to the drugstore and get a new one.

So you wanted to get that golden suntan, but for some odd reason you look more like a lobster, well, you've just acquired one very nice, painful, sunburn. No fear though, there are some cures to help you through the pain:

  1. Aspirin first, it will reduce the pain.
  2. A cool wet compress will also make you feel better instantly.
  3. Soak in a tub of cool water and add a cup of white vinegar to the bath.
  4. Generously apply aloe gel to any burned area.
  5. If the burn is very bad, please go to the doctor.
  6. One other note, be very careful when going out in the sun, overexposure prematurely ages the skin and also greatly increases your risk of skin cancer. So be careful.

OUCH! My tooth hurts. Well it can be cause by many things, but here are some temporary quick fixes to the problem:

  1. If your toothache is caused by trapped food you should rinse the area with warm water and swish it about, it might losen whatever is causing the pain.
  2. A cotton ball soaked in lime juice can be placed on the tooth. Actually since you have the cotton in your mouth why not try an imitation of the Godfather, well, it's just a suggestion.
  3. You can also try using this poultice, steep a teaspoon of yarrow in hot water, drain the liquid with a piece of gauze, then put it on the tooth.
  4. Now if you have a constant toothache, please visit the dentist, he won't hurt you, I promise, maybe I better not promise, but go anyway, you'll feel better.
