When your stomach is hurting, it could be accompanied with heart burn, and other painful ailments.

A quick tip to settle the tummy quickly is a tablespoon of apple cider vinegar. It has quick response time to calm the stomach.

And, if you still feel a dull pain after an hour, take one more tablespoon. ( you don’t want to take too much at once, because it will have the opposite reaction) Drink water after taking the vinegar. I personally, think the taste is the worst, only the very first time you take it, after you’ve done it once, the taste can be bearable. And the benefits out way the taste.

Allergies Making Sunburn Worse.

Allergies Making Sunburn Worse.

Problem: I put on sunburn relief gel and it made my burn worse. My mom said I could be allergic to something in it.

Tip from Tia:

Absolutely! Anytime you put a chemical on your body and it starts to burn, sting or itch intensively, get it off right away. That is a sure sign your body doesn’t like it. Sometimes water doesn’t help in stopping the reaction, so have milk and vinegar close by, to neutralize it if necessary. And, be sure to try the milk first, if water makes it feel worse initially. Then, use the vinegar if the milk still hasn’t helped.

With sunburn relief gels, camphor could be the source of the allergy, but you may need to do a trial and error to find the exact source. Good news though, there are products out there without that in it, that work just as well.

I still stick with rubbing alcohol on sunburn. For bad burns, apply cornstarch once the alcohol dries, for burning relief. Take some over the counter pain relievers, if necessary. And, be sure to call your doctor immediately if you have and swelling, blisters or intense pain. Sun poisoning is a serious condition and can stop summer fun, to a screeching halt.

Apples are great for most, but what many people don’t know is, there is a group of people out there allergic to apples.

If your mouth itches after eating an apple there is a chance you could have a slight to full blown apple allergy.

Contact your doctor if you become itchy or swell. Hands and feet tend to itch first during an allergic reaction.

And remember if you have allergies, let your partner know so they can stay clear of the things that set your allergies off. And, know theirs as well.
