Here are some home remedies for health and household uses that actually work. Don't spend money on dozens of products when you may have items at home in your kitchen, bathroom or even garage that can be used to solve your ailments.
A great advantage of home remedies is to use the same product for multiple uses. For example, it saves money and space in your medicine cabinet if you use Vicks Vapor Rub for colds as well as nail fungus. This really works. A nurse suggested that I use Vicks for a nail fungus that would not respond to other treatments and it worked like a charm!
The following remedies have been tried, tested and referred by health care professionals, homemakers, and anyone else who has had success with these solutions.
