Whitening Teeth With Strawberries

Wanting whiter teeth is an easy way to freshen up your appearance and even make you look younger. More people are looking for a natural approach to dental care and may try out some "natural home remedy," many of which have been passed down from generation to generation.

Home Remedies For Nausea

Nausea is a feeling of unease and sickness that is hard to put words
too, but that at some point another most of us have been all too
familiar with. Often times the pre-curser to vomiting, is a miserable
thing to experience. It can be caused for many reasons, from
dehydration to food poisoning, morning sickness to motion sickness,
medications to acid reflux.

 Slice a fresh lemon
The smell of citrus can cut through the murky feeling of nausea, calm
your stomach, and calm you.
You will need…
-1 fresh lemon
-A sharp knife

Directions
Slice the lemon in half and position it close to you so you can smell
it, but it’s not overwhelming. Make sure you are inhaling and exhaling
fully.

Suck on frozen fruit
Keep a few slices of lime or lemon in a plastic baggy in the freezer,
and use for the times you find yourself getting nauseas. Like the smell
of lemon can help you feel better, so can the sharp, fresh flavor of a
straight wedge of lemon or lime. It also helps take your mind off of
it, and while it may create a rush of saliva, it might transform it
into an experience better than the “wet mouth” you get right before you
are sick to your stomach. The cold is akin to sucking on ice-chips or a
Popsicle if your stomach is upset, but if you prefer or didn’t plan
ahead, unfrozen works too.

You will need…
-Several slices of freshly cut lemon or lime, frozen or unfrozen

Directions
At a time you don’t feel ill, cut a few wedges of lemon or lime. Toss
them in a plastic baggy and put them in the freezer. When you start to
feel nauseas, lie down (unless laying down makes it worse, of course)
and suck on a slice. If you don’t have any frozen, fresh can substitute
fine.

Several slices of freshly cut lemon or lime, frozen or unfrozen .....
When you are able to eat something, snack on toast or saltine crackers,
or frozen fruit is good too.
