INTRODUCTION
This book brings together--for the first time--brief, pointed
tips drawn from the medical literature that are almost certain
to be of use, day in and day out, in any household.
The emphasis is on everyday concerns, not esoteric prob-
lems, and a very broad range of those concerns is covered.
They extend, for example, from a strategy for getting a good
night s sleep before a "Big Day," Cleopatra s remedy for stub-
born itching, and positions to assume to eliminate painful gas
to a simple maneuver to stop air swallowing and bloating,
getting an insect out of an ear, using stretch gloves to help
arthritic hands and cheese to aid asthma, tilting a bed to ease
chest pain, how to medicate a bottle-fed baby, and--fiat-
footed or not--using arch supports to relieve back pain.
Few people are aware of the following remedies:
~ When you burn your tongue with hot food or drink, a
few grains of sugar sprinkled on the site can sweetly
undo the misery.
~ Carsickness in a child often can be prevented by elevat-
ing the child s riding position ten inches.
~ The pain, burning, and itching of shingles can be
greatly relieved by the slight pressure of an elasticized
binder worn around the chest.
~ A migraine attack often can be aborted just by exhaling
into and rebreathing from a bag placed over the nose
and mouth.
~ While swallowing a tablet is easy with the head tilted
backward, swallowing a capsule that way is difficult
since the capsule, being lighter than water, will float
