Home Remedies To Make Mami And Abuelita Proud

May 04, 10 Home Remedies To Make Mami And Abuelita Proud

Like any mami worth her home remedies salt, Mother Nature has a cure for everything. Natural remedies are the best, our moms and abuelas know that. One day, you’ll be a mom and then an abuelita yourself so you better start working on your catalog of homemade medicines. Here are a few to get you going:

  • Baking soda: Ay, eating a huge burrito late at night is no longer as consequence-free as it was in your teenage years (on your gastrointestinal system or your hips). For mild heartburn sip a mixture of half a teaspoon of baking soda and 4 ounces of warm water. It may not be very tasty but at least it offers fast relief.
  • Raw potato: Pinkeye is gross and bothersome. Cure it by grating a raw white potato (that’s been previously washed, of course), wrapping it in cheesecloth and leaving it on your eye overnight. You can hold it in place with an eye patch, matey. After two or three applications you should be good as new.
  • Clove oil: Easily purchased in pharmacies and health food stores, clove oil is widely known for its painkilling and antiseptic properties. In fact, before anesthesia became common dentists used clove oil, which is why it is still used today to treat toothaches. Simply dab the pearly white in question with a Q-tip soaked in oil for a surprisingly tasty remedy.
