Top Kitchen Items that make Perfect Natural Home Remedies

Have you ever taken a good hard look at your medicine cabinet? Is it overflowing with over the counter drugs, remedies, and prescription drugs? Take a look at those over the counter remedies- do you remember when and why you bought them? Do you remember how expensive they were? Do you remember if they even worked or not? Many over the counter remedies are expensive and contain synthetic chemicals. Some are based on natural plant remedies, others are purely chemical in nature. Your body really doesn’t need chemicals for healing, synthetic or otherwise. Many common ailments can be cured right from items you most likely have right in your kitchen. Take a look at the top kitchen items that can cure many common problems. 1. Used Tea Bags Tea bags contain tannins and caffeine that help to reduce swelling and inflammation.
