Nauseous? Try Ginger! If you’re someone who can’t even look at a book or your phone while on a long car ride, this one’s for you! Ginger has been found to help deter and stop the effects of nausea, although most researchers can’t pinpoint why! Drink ginger tea or ginger ale before long car rides or if you are feeling nauseous. Ginger could also be a great addition to your meals if you regularly struggle with tummy trouble. Got a Wart? Use Duct Tape Is there anything duct tape can’t fix? Okay, we may not trust it to repair a leak in our boat, but duct tape can help connect items, repair small breaks, and even remove warts. If you have a small wart, try covering it with duct tape and replace the tape on a regular basis. Surprisingly, and much like ginger, researchers can’t figure out why this works! But one study, as reported in Reader’s Digest, found that duct tape can be 25% more effective than freezing a wart off. (And it’s less painful!) Bonus: Got a late-summer sunburn? Crack open a stalk on an aloe plant and squeeze the juices onto your burn. It’s natural and effective, and you can grow it in your home! Remember These? 3 Old Remedies You Have to Try Again!
