FOR INSOMIA: WARM BATH. One theory held by sleep experts has it that normal body temperatures play off low during sleep and at their highest point during the day. Along those lines, it's though that the body begins to get drowsy as its temperature drops. Therefore, a warm bath taken about 4 to 5 hours before bed time will raise the temperature. Then, as it begins to fall, you'll feel more tired, which make it easier to fall asleep.

FOR MOTION SICKNESS: GINGER. Although this method dates back hundreds of years, eating a bit ginger against motion sickness recently passed scientific scrutiny when an experiment showed that two powdered ginger capsules were more effective than a dose of drugs in preventing motion sickness. Ginger works, researchers theorize, by absorving acids and blocking nausea in your gastrointestinal tract. Researchers swears by ginger "it will definitely take care of nausea," they say.

FOR OILY SKIN: HOT WATER PLUS SOAP. Hot water is a good solvent. For this reason, it is recommended that oily skin be washed in very warm water, with plenty of soap. Hot water plus soap will dissolve skin oil better than cold water and soap, because more things dissolve in hot than in cold, and that includes soap and the grit and grime you're trying to get rid of on your skin.

FOR TOOTHACHE: ICE. Treat the problem like any good bruise. Put ice on the aching tooth or the nearest check for 15-minute intervals atleast three or four times a day.

FOR YEAST INFECTIONS: VINEGAR. Vinegar has approximately the same acidity as the female sexual organ, which is one reason a lukewarm vinegar and a water mix (4teaspoons vinegar to 1 pint of water) is sometimes suggested as douching liquied. Some doctors suggest that a vagina with the correct pH balance is less likely to grow excess yeast.

FOR HAIR: BEER. Beer is a wonderful setting lotion. It gives crisp, healthy, shiny look, even to dry hair. The trick is to spray the brew onto your hair using a pump bottle after you've shampooed and towel dried, but before you blow-dry or style. And don't worry about smelling like a lush -- the odor of the beer quickly disappears.
