Let the mixture sit for 30 minutes, then apply it as a massage oil for instant relief for aching muscles.  Did you know that toothpaste makes an excellent salve for burns? Before you head to the chemist for a high-priced inhaler filled with mysterious chemicals, try chewing on a couple of curiously strong  peppermints. They'll clear up your stuffed nose.  Sore throat? Just mix 1/4 cup of vinegar with 1/4 cup of honey and take 1 tablespoon six times a day. The vinegar kills the bacteria. Cure urinary tract infections with Alka-Seltzer.

Balm for broken blisters... to disinfect a broken blister, dab on a few drops of strong mouthwash, a powerful antiseptic.  Vinegar to heal bruises... soak a cotton ball in white vinegar and apply it to the bruise for 1 hour. The vinegar reduces the blueness and speeds up the healing process.  Porridge Oats for fast pain relief... it's not for breakfast any more! Mix 2 cups of Quaker Oats and 1 cup of water in a bowl and warm in the microwave for 1 minute, cool slightly, and apply the mixture to your hands for soothing relief from arthritis pain.  Well, I never!!!
