1. Stop Ear Infections
Clean the wax out of your ears easily by lying on your side and filling your ear with hydrogen peroxide. Generally, one capful is enough to fill your ear. Let it sit and bubble in your ear for about 5 or 10 minutes. You are going to hear a whole lot of popping and fizzing going on. This is just the peroxide softening the wax and killing any bacteria that is your ear. Put a tissue over your ear and allow it to drain. You can also just let your ear drain into the sink or a trash can but the tissue is less messy. You can now easily remove excess earwax with a Q-tip. Not only does this feel terrific, but you can probably stop ear infections, even a cold virus, dead in its tracks by using this trick at the very first sign of a cold or ear pain.
2. Stop Foot Odor
Has someone in your family told you that your smelly feet are enough to drive someone to drink? Perhaps it’s time to take them up on that! OK, so you aren’t literally going to hit up your local bar, but go and buy a bottle of pure vodka (not the flavored kind). Dampen a wash rag with the vodka and rub it over your feet. The high alcohol content kills the bacteria that causes those stinky toes.
3. Heal a Cut
Did you give yourself a nasty cut trying to separate that bagel this morning? (Why don’t they cut those things all the way through anyway?) Sometimes we end up with a cut that needs something more than a bandage but isn’t really bad enough to waste half a day going to the doctor for 2 lousy stitches. Super glue and chapstick to the rescue! No, we are not kidding. Wash and air dry the cut, then use the superglue to stick the cut back together and then rub the top with a bit of (clean) chapstick to help seal the top of the cut.
