Here are 4 problems that you can cure with food (but, not by eating it).
1. Disinfect a Wound
Pour a dab of honey on a cut before
covering it with a bandage. Honey has powerful anti-bacterial properties.
One New Zealand study found that honey was capable of destroying almost
all strains of the most common wound-infecting bacteria. Another equally
good option, turmeric.
2. Repair Dry Skin
Try rubbing a small amount of sesame or corn
oil over dry skin on your hands or feet, to add moisture and
seal it into the area.
3. Treat Poison Ivy
Got itching? Get milk. Soaking a kerchief
in cold milk and then holding it on your skin will dry out the rash of
poison ivy and help ease the itch.
4. Soothe a Sunburn
To stop the itch and burn, mix together a bit
of dry oatmeal and cool water. Make it slightly slushier than
if you were going to eat it, and spread the mixture carefully on your
sunburned skin. This will relieve the pain and help reduce swelling.
