Embarrassed by bad breath? Smelly feet? Suffer from constipation? Here are some easy cures.

Yellow teeth: Mix salt with finely powdered rind of lime. Use this as toothpowder frequently.

Arthritis: Eating 3-4 walnuts daily, on an empty stomach, will help.

Asthma: Mix 1 tsp honey with 1/2 tsp cinnamon and take it before going to bed.

Bad breath: Boil some cinnamon bark in a cup of water. Use it as a mouthwash frequently.

Bruises: Slice a raw onion and place over the bruise. Do not apply this to broken skin.

Constipation (in adults): Drinking ginger tea will help start a bowel movement.

Constipation (in small children): Soak 6-8 raisins in hot water. When cool, crush well and strain. When given routinely even to little infants, it helps regulate bowel movement.

Diarrhoea: Eat boiled sweet potatoes seasoned with salt and pepper before bedtime to cure chronic diarrhoea.

Hang-over: Eat honey on crackers. The fructose in the honey will help to flush out the alcohol in your system.

Headache: Eat 10-12 almonds, the equivalent of two aspirins, for a migraine headache. Almonds are far less likely to upset the stomach.

Hiccups: Take a large mouthful of water with out swallowing, plug both ears, and slowly begin to swallow the water. Unplug your ears and you’re hiccup free!

Smelly feet: Soak feet in strong tea for 20 minutes every day until the smell disappears. To prepare your footbath, brew two tea bags in 2 1/2 cups of water for 15 minutes and pour the tea into a basin containing two liters of cool water.

Obesity: Eat a tomato before breakfast.

Smoking habit: Lick a little salt with the tip of your tongue whenever you feel the urge to smoke. This is said to break the habit within one month.
