Many day-to-day mishaps can be fixed very quickly and cheaply by opening up your pantry or fridge. Here are a few simple solutions for some healthy Rx for any age.

Aloe is terrific for healing burns, but you might not have it on hand when your child comes in tinged pink from the sun. Grab a cucumber to soothe and heal sunburn (or other burns too). Just slice and rub the juice directly on the skin.

Lemons are always handy and they can be good for so many things. If allergies are flaring up, drink the juice squeezed in hot or cool water. Externally, rub lemon on bites to relieve the itch or use as an antiseptic on any scrape.

Cooling cabbage is far easier for kids to keep on a bump, or twisted ankle than ice. Tear up cabbage, kale, collards or whatever greens you have and insert in a sock and place next to the skin of feet or ankles. Or simply press a leaf of cabbage against any bruised spot.

Strain a pot of chamomile tea into a bath for soft skin. Chamomile will calm skin irritations and speed healing. It is also wonderful when sipped
to soothe cranky dispositions and protect against nightmares.
