We’ve all heard of home remedies, bizarre or not, that we can use for various ailments. Growing up, I always used to drink apple cider vinegar which my mom said would keep our skin clear. I have to be honest and say it must have worked because I can’t ever remember having acne issues.
There are tons of bizarre remedies which people swear by. Natural Living Ideas has shared just a few. Take a look at the below:
- Hold your pencil between your teeth to help cure a headache (My colleague should have tried this).
- Spray vodka into your shoes to cure stinky feet problems.
- Stand on a tennis ball to help with aching feet.
- Use Listerine to relieve yourself of blisters.
