Do you have a headache? Or maybe you have an insect bite. You may not need medicine. Something in your kitchen might make you feel better. Home remedies should not take the place of visting your doctor if you are really sick. But they are fun to try!

Headaches: Eat 15 raw almonds to get the effect of one aspirin. The almonds take longer to relieve the headache, but they are healthier for you.

Insect bites and stings: Rub raw onion or vinegar on the insect bite or sting.

Burns: A slice of raw potato or raw onion will relieve the pain. Or a cloth soaked in cold black or green tea helps.

Dark circles under your eyes: Cut a fresh fig in half, lie down, and place one half under each eye. After 20 to 30 minutes, wash your eyes, and then apply peanut oil.

Nausea: Pour boiling water over three slices of ginger in a cup, and drink it while it is warm. Or breathe in the smell from an orange peel that's been twisted.

Give these remedies a try!
