Feet falling asleep?<\/span><\/o:p><\/span><\/p>\n

<\/div>\n

This is definitely a strange sensation — you get up out of your seat, and all you feel from one foot is an uncomfortable tingling. That’s because the prolonged pressure cuts off nerve signals to your brain.<\/span><\/o:p><\/span><\/p>\n

<\/div>\n

Change the position: Once you reposition your body the nerve impulses are re-established, but it may take minutes for everything to normalize. When blood flow returns to normal and nerve connections are back in tact, your sleeping body part wakes up and the pins and needles sensation goes away. <\/span><\/o:p><\/span><\/p>\n

<\/div>\n

Strange, but pressing the lobe of ear for a few second works for some people! <\/p>\n

This will usually stop the bleeding within a minute or two. <\/span><\/o:p><\/span><\/p>\n

Oily Skin?<\/span><\/o:p><\/span><\/p>\n

<\/div>\n

Stuffy Nose?<\/span><\/o:p><\/span><\/p>\n

<\/div>\n

Take a Turmeric Stick (Cooking Turmeric – not the round one) and light it like a cigar in a candle. Inhale the fumes, this will clear the stuffy nose. <\/p>\n

Teeth Whitening <\/p>\n

Believe it or not.. Strawberries will whiten your teeth. Rub fresh strawberry on your teeth
daily and watch. A strawberry may also be mashed and applied with a tooth brush. But be sure
to brush your teeth IMMEDIATELY afterwards with fluoride toothpaste.<\/span><\/o:p><\/span><\/p>\n

<\/div>\n


Tooth Ache?<\/span><\/o:p><\/span><\/p>\n

<\/div>\n

Place a whole clove between the aching tooth and your cheek. It can be held in place by
holding your finger on the outside of the cheek. Chew the cloves a little to release their
juice, then leave them in place for half an hour or so or until the pain subsides. <\/p>\n

Vomiting?<\/span><\/o:p><\/span><\/p>\n

<\/div>\n
