1
Vodka For Foot Odor
Washing your feet in vodka eliminates bad odors by acting as an antiseptic and drying agent, which kills odor-causing fungus and bacteria and the moist environment where they live.
2
Listerine For Blisters
By running a cotton ball swabbed with Listerine over a blister 3 times a day, blisters will dry out and stop hurting faster.
3
Pencils For Headaches
In times of stress or anxiety, you're liable to clench your jaw, putting unnecessary strain on muscles connecting your jaw to your temples - creating a tension headache. But holding a pencil between your teeth (but not chewing), you force your jaw to relax, alleviating or preventing headaches.
4
Yogurt For Bad Breath
Studies shows that live bacteria in yogurt suppresses levels of bad breath by crowding out stink-causing bacteria and creating an unhealthy environment for them.
5
Duct Tape For Warts
Cover warts with duct tape by rubbing the tape into place. Every 3 days, remove the tape and file down dead skin with a nail file. 85% of warts were found to rub off after 2 months using duct tape, as opposed to 60% of warts that were subjected to freezing.
6
Apples For White Teeth
Apples have a gentle acid called malic acid, which helps dissolve stains. Increased saliva in the mouth also help cleanse your teeth and gums of harmful acids used when digesting food.
7
Veggie Oil For Brittle Nails
In addition to using hand lotion regularly, applying vegetable oil to your hands or feet before wrapping them in plastic wrap or vinyl gloves helps your skin absorb nutrients.
8
iPods For High Blood Pressure
Thirty minutes of calming music you enjoy can help low blood pressure.
9
Sugar For Hiccups
A teaspoon of sugar is believed to modify the nerve muscles that cause spasms in the diaphragm, which causes hiccups.
10
