7 Brilliant and Bizarre Home Remedy Hacks That Really Work

4. Eat This for a Cold

Did your mother or grandmother feed you chicken soup when you were sick with a cold? That is much more than just a feel good remedy. Chicken soup is a legit remedy. It contains proven anti-inflammatory compounds that help move the mucus out of your body and when the mucus starts leaving your body, it takes the virus with it.

5. Remove Warts and Skin Tags

If you think removing ugly warts or those annoying skin tags means an expensive trip to the dermatologist, think again! You don’t have to buy those pricey, smelly over the counter remedies either; all you need is a little bit of duct tape. Not masking tape or electrical tape, for some reason, it needs to be duct tape. No one knows why this works, but it really does! Simply cover the wart or skin tag with a small piece of duct tape. Leave it on until the tape falls off. (Yes, shower with it.) Once it falls off, if the wart is still there, repeat the process. Most people say that the wart or skin tag will fall off with the tape by the 3^rd application, which is about 2 or 3 weeks.

7. Stop the Pain and Itching of Eczema

Although the severity of eczema can vary greatly from person to person, everyone wants to stop the itching, swelling and pain. A study published in The Europe PubMed Central showed that a topical application of evening primrose oil significantly improved the severity and symptoms of eczema. Apply 3 or 4 drops of evening primrose oil directly to the affected parts of your skin. Repeat as needed for relief.
