Some people experience a burning sensation in their feet on hot summer days. No need to panic or resort to medications in such cases. These simple cures will help counteract this problem.



* This burning sensation in the feet as well as in your palms can be relieved by the use of henna leaves. Grind henna leaves into a fine paste and apply the same over the soles. Allow the paste to stay on for a few hours. If henna leaves are not available, you can use henna powder (buy from here) instead.



* Applying the paste of henna (mehendi) and vinegar/lemon-juice too can cure this problem.

* Take a handful of neem flowers and soak them in a cup of water overnight. Next morning, squeeze the flowers in water and strain the liquid through a piece of cloth. Drink this liquid in small doses several times a day for 4-5 days. This is also helpful in warding off the burning sensation in the eyes along with the burning sensation felt at the palms and the soles of the feet.

    Exercise such as walking is good for peripheral neuropathy as it improves circulation to the feet. Massaging the feet also increases circulation

    After walking, immediately change out of your shoes and socks, allowing the shoes to dry.
    Soak your feet in cool water - do not use ice.
    Pain relievers such as aspirin or acetaminophen
    Try changes in your shoes, socks, and insoles

    For aching feet, make yourself an Herbal Foot Bath or rub a peppermint lotion or salve on your feet. Wrap a warm towel around your feet and enjoy.

Aspirin for acne-prone skin

Aspirin has been around for a long time and its health benefits are wide and varied. Aspirin , or acetylsalicylic acid is a salicylate drug, often used as an analgesic to relieve minor aches and pains , as an antipyretic to reduce fever , and as an anti-inflammatory medication. Aspirin's greatest benefit is reducing cardiovascular events including heart attacks and strokes. According to the American Heart Assoc. virtually all women are at risk of heart disease and doctors should more strongly consider prescribing a daily aspirin for their female patients.

I Tried a Headache Balm and Ended Up with Rashes

It so happened that I had an extremely severe headache a few months ago.  The pain was so unbearable that I gingerly reached out for a pain balm kept on my bedside table and kept on slathering it repeatedly all over the temples of my forehead. Next morning, after I woke up, I found that the skin on my forehead was peeling off and worse there were red rashes!  This was the first time in my life that I was getting rashes from applying a pain balm on my forehead !  I have never had any pain balm allergy or as such!  Side-effects due to application of a pain balm  was something I've never come across all these years! I usually use pain balms of reputed companies – my usual favourites are Tiger balm, Amrutanjan, Zandu balm and Sloan’s balm.  This time I had used Tiger balm. But why did it  give me rashes now, when I had used it...
