PEANUT BUTTER FOR FEVER

April 29, 2013 8 Comments
Traditional way to lessen your fever is to put cold-damp wash clothes on your forehead, stomach and at the back of your neck.  Little did we know that PEANUT BUTTER can help lessen fever.

This is my old family remedy for fever.  I was hesitant to use this kind of remedy because it's a bit filthy and nasty to use
but when I got sick and I am not allowed to take paracetamol or any medicine because of my allergy, my mother insisted to follow the old way.

My mother bought a peanut butter in Bankerohan Market for only PHp150/kilo.

Milk (Bear Brand SWAK)mix it with cold water.  *DO NOT DRINK*.

Paper Towel or Tissue

and a Cloth Towel.


She put the Peanut Butter on a spacious container and pour half of it.


You need to do is to smear all the peanut butter over your forehead and neck.  If you have a long hair better put it up with an elastic/rubber band.

Second you must do is to soak the paper towel/tissue with the milk.


Then lie down put cloth towel under your head and place the paper towel all over your face. Close your eyes and just breathe in the smell of the milk, lie down until the milk dries and your fever stops.  Then wash your face,
neck and hair.

This may sound crazy but my mom did this to me and I have done this to my children and it works great!  Hope it will help you too.

IS VINEGAR GOOD FOR HAIR

April 02, 2013 19 Comments
Early this morning while listening to AM RADIO STATION,  two commentators are having this discussion about VINEGAR for hair.  Is Vinegar good for our hair?

We know there is 1001+ uses of vinegar aside from being used as food condiments and as a kitchen essentials.  Vinegar is also used for our beauty care especially for our hair.

Hearing VINEGAR+DOWNY(cloth conditioner) mix together can make your hair shiny or can restore shine, according to their guest this is used by Salon or Beauty Parlors for treatments and neutralizer.

I did my research about this mixture and I can say that vinegar has an enzyme that helps connect protein molecules and a source of probiotics that help restore luster of our hair by removing the other products that we usually apply in our hair.  And mix with a small amount of DOWNY (cloth conditioner) that also makes our hair soft and smells good.

To make it more convincing, I'd made one to try if this is true.  I get an empty alcohol sprayer, put 1 cup of vinegar, 2 cups of warm water, a drop of essential oil(optional) and mix it with a small amount of downy.  I keep the extra mixture to another container for my next use.




I'd spray it to my hair.

HAIR BEFORE SPRAYING MIXTURE

HAIR AFTER SPRAYING(no special photo effects added) 
Vinegar has long been used to make hair healthy, silky and lustrous shiny and I agree to that.  And it doesn't leave your hair smell of vinegar because of the downy.  Depending on your hair type, mine I will use it once weekly because I have straight and not so thick hair.  And for those who have curly, wavy, and a bit thick hair you should use it three times a week.  It may cause minimal hair dryness so better condition your hair first before spraying the vinegar rinse.

Hope this would help you with your hair problems.  I am sure going to hair salon will cost you big amount of money just to make your hair shiny and soft.

By the way you can use this also for your scalp and fight dandruff:

*1/2 cup vinegar mixed with 2 cups of water after shampooing. You can add few drops of baby oil.  Leave the rinse for about 30 mins. Then rinse it with water.  You can do this everyday or at least once a week.
