NATURAL REMEDIES: BLACK PEPPER, HONEY AND GREEN APPLES

Did you know that honey works better than Neosporin on a cut? Honey is one Nature's best disinfectants and has some serious healing properties. Next time you get a cut or your child gets a knee-scrape - try applying honey to the wound. You will be pleasantly surprised. Plus honey costs less and is not dangerous if swallowed. As a matter of fact - it is healthier than sugar. So if you're a tea drinker - use honey instead of white sugar.

Crushed black pepper can stop bleeding and will also help disinfect the cut. Not as tasty as honey, it is also used in cooking, it costs a couple of dollars and will last a lot longer than any medicine. So add that to your First Aid kit instead of costly, sometimes harmful and often dangerous for children medications.
