IF YOU HAVE A HOME REMEDY YOU WOULD LIKE DR. STEVE TO SUSS OUT, LEAVE A COMMENT BELOW OR CLICK HERE AND FILL OUT THE EMAIL FORM.

So, let's see what we have in our medicine chest today... Fact or quack

1. Honey soothes a burn

That's a fact. But only for minor burns - it turns out that honey has some anti inflammatory and antibacterial properties that can help promote healing. In one study honey was compared head to head against antibiotic cream and it actually did better. I prefer to use a sterile bandage and antibiotic cream or ointment, but if you want to go natural honey can soothe a minor burn.

MORE REMEDY BUSTING AFTER THE JUMP

2. Cloves relieve a toothache

That one's also a fact. Clove oil has been used for centuries for a toothache. It can temporarily ease pain and decrease the risk of infection because clove oil has antiseptic properties. You can put a small amount of clove oil on gauze and place it between the achy tooth and gums. Just don't use too much. It can irritate the gums. And get to a dentist. This is just a temporary fix.

Remedy 1,
if you get burn immediately put a toothpaste on that area it will help temporarially before you get any medical help.

Remedy 2:
If somebody get injured or have some internal injury and he/she is in a healing process they should take a milk and huldi, it will help them to heal inside and make them feel little energetic.

One table spoon of huldi in one cup of hot milk and stir it well and then drink it and have some good rest also with this procedure.
