It could also be that, because of some disaster caused by man or nature, you CAN’T get to a doctor. In either case, home cures will save you money and make you more comfortable without the expense or inconvenience of a doctor’s visit, even if such a thing is possible. Here are 15 common types of pain and some suggestions to help you cure them at home. We’ve also included some links so that you can read some more about each tip if you’d like. Bunions A bunion is a bony hump that forms at the base of your big toe. Your big toe turn in more toward your other toes than it used to. When this happens, a bunion forms on your metatarsal bone. It’s painful because you put most of your weight on it every time that you take a step and it may be red and irritated, too. Bunions often run in the family and are frequently caused by years of walking in tight shoes such as high heels and may be triggered by the flu, gout, tonsillitis, poor nutrition or metabolism, or rheumatic infection. Since a bunion is actually a buildup of salt, the following recipe is designed to break that up. 1.Place 10oz of water and a bay leaf in a small pan and bring to a simmer for 5 minutes. 2.Remove from heat and allow to cool refrigerated overnight. 3.Drink the next morning. 4.Repeat for 3 days in a row, then take seven days off and repeat. You should start to notice relief in about 10 days and your bunions should be gone in two months. Note: You’ll notice more frequent urination; that’s normal. Increase your water intake if you don’t drink as much as you should. To make a tincture to relieve external pain, crush 10 bay leaves in 96% isopropyl alcohol and let it steep for a week. Strain and apply to your bunion after a warm soak or shower. bunion drawing via Health And Healthy Living.

Fortunately, kidney infections are actually quite easy to cure at home, especially if you catch them early. If it persists, see your doctor for antibiotics. Here are a few steps that you can take to cure a kidney infection or avoid them altogether. 1.Drink at least 64oz of water per day. You need at least that much to stay hydrated and to keep your kidneys flushed. A good clue as to whether or not you’re drinking enough is the color of your urine. If it’s clear or nearly clear, you’re good. If it’s dark, drink more. 2.Cranberry juice is great for your kidneys because it makes your urine more acidic, thus helping fight bacterial infection. Drink a glass per day but not more. 3.Yogurt has probiotics that help keep your kidneys healthy. Go for the unsweetened type though because the sugar in the sweetened varieties isn’t good for you. 4.Get more vitamin C because it increases the acidity of your urine. Citrus fruits, strawberries, peppers, broccoli and tomatoes are all good sources. One or two servings per day is plenty. 5.Marshmallow root is antibacterial and is also a diuretic so it helps in 2 ways.
