In the world of home-remedies, there are dozens of natural-cures for just about everything that ails you. However, many of these deceptively ordinary remedies have been around for hundreds (if not thousands) of years and for good reason! Here are 6 of the oldest time-tested home remedies for common health concerns with scientific backing for exactly why and how they work.

1.Chicken broth to Cure the Common Cold
Fats and proteins naturally present in chicken-broth nourish your body, providing much needed calories to counter the loss of appetite that frequently afflicts us when we’re sick. The broth is also intensely hydrating, which thins out mucus to relieve congestion, helps the body to regulate temperature and facilitates the removal of toxins which would otherwise impede the healing process if left to circulate through the bloodstream.

2.Use A Damp Tea Bag to ‘Pull Out’ A Bee Sting
The tannins in tea leaves are a powerful anti-inflammatory remedy which can help to reduce swelling around a bee sting, thus making the stinger easier to remove. Simply apply a damp black tea-bag over the bee sting and leave it there until the swelling goes down. Once it does, the stinger will slide out easily.

3.Take Castor-Oil to Relieve Constipation
Castor-oil is one of the oldest household staples in the world of home remedies because it’s good for so many things. Probably the most famous of these uses is the oil’s ability to relieve constipation. Castor-oil works by stimulating contractions throughout the small and large intestines and helps to move impacted stool. The oil also prevents the intestinal walls from absorbing moisture from and dehydrating fecal matter – one of the primary causes of constipation.
For adults, the dosage is 1-2 tablespoons taken orally. For children, 1-2 teaspoons is recommended.
4.Drink Willow-Bark Tea for Aches & Pains
The drinking of willow-bark tea for pain is one natural remedy that dates back thousands of years – to the time of Hippocates Willow-bark tea works due to its high concentration of salicin which is very similar in chemical composition to the active ingredient in aspirin. As such, willow-bark tea may be consumed in place of aspirin or any other over-the-counter pain-killers to treat everything from headaches and menstrual cramps to tendonitis and arthritis.
5.Drink Ginger Ale to Cure a Sick Stomach
Ginger-root and ginger root extracts contain several natural chemicals which are known to relieve nausea by inhibiting the nervous-signals which induce vomiting and by stimulating the muscles responsible for moving materials down through the gastrointestinal-tract, thus preventing them from coming back-up the esophagus.

6.Soak Skin in Cold Milk to Heal Burns
For instant relief of a burn, try soaking the affected skin in cold-milk. The temperature of the liquid will help to stop skin from continuing to burn while simultaneously cooling away the pain. The fats and proteins in milk will also nourish your skin and help speed the healing process.
If the burned body part is small enough to fit into a container of cold-milk, you can completely submerge it for 15-minutes. Otherwise, try making a poultice by soaking a clean cloth in milk then apply it to the burn. You can also use cold yogurt for a similar effect if you find milk to be too messy or if you don’t have any on hand.

Baking-soda is a powerful versatile ingredient that can be used for anything from cleaning to treating skin and health-problems
It is usually used for rising dough, but it can also treat and prevent numerous diseases and conditions and whiten clothes.
Besides this, people use baking soda as an effective odor absorber and a carpet freshener as-well as an all-surface cleaner. However, baking-soda can also be used for aesthetic purpose and can drastically improve your beauty.

1.FIGHTS ACNE: Baking-soda is an effective remedy against acne and pimples – just prepare a paste with some water and use in directly on the acne to get rid of it.

2. TEETH WHITENER: To keep your teeth looking pearly white, create your own paste with a teaspoon of baking-soda and water. Once a week, rub the paste onto your teeth, let it sit for five minutes, and then rinse your mouth

3.FRESHENS THE BREATH
If you’re suffering from bad-breath, you know that those mint drops do nothing. They only hide the underlying problem of halitosis, but baking-soda can eliminate bad-breath effectively and quickly. Put a teaspoon of baking-soda in a glass of water and mix until it dissolves, then gargle the solution to disinfect your throat and oral cavity and eliminate the bacteria. Repeat the process every other day for best results.

4.FEET SOOTHER 
Create your own foot bath with a tablespoon of baking-soda and warm water. The baking-soda will remove bacteria and odors, and it will help to prevent toenail fungus.

The shampoos and conditioners we use are not as good as advertised – they usually contain chemicals that can harm the scalp and the hair as well. However, using baking-soda as a conditioner will keep your hair and scalp healthy and clean. Just make sure to use it only once a month as the pH-levels of baking-soda are high.

6.RELIEVES BODY ODOR
Fill your bathtub with water and add a small cup of baking-soda, then soak yourself in the mixture to neutralize the bacteria and acids on your bath that cause unpleasant body odor and relieve oily skin. Repeat the process once or twice a week to make your skin smooth and soft.

Mix 3 parts of baking soda with 1 part of water to prepare a paste that can be applied on your nails. Rinse afterwards and your nails and cuticles will be healthier than ever

Baking-soda can be used to make a natural DIY deodorant – just add a few drops of your favorite essential oil in 4 tablespoons of baking soda and apply the mixture on your underarm to kill the bacteria that’s causing the odor. This natural deodorant will keep you fresh for hours and can be safely reapplied when needed.

9.FACE EXFOLIATOR 
Remove dry-skin from your face by creating your own baking-soda exfoliate. Combine one teaspoon of baking-soda with half a cup of water and rub it on your face in a circular-motion, then rinse.
