Honey to treat a wound. Eat cherries(樱桃) if someone has a pain in his knee. Your grandmother is probably proud of her old-time treatments and now science is catching up with them. Researchers have produced hundreds of studies in the past five years about these grandmothers' old-time home treatments. They are often natural, different from the medicine from the hospitals. Here are some old-time treatments which have been proved (证明) to be useful by the scientists.
| Burns Try Aloe "Aloe is a useful treatment for burns," says a doctor of Visha Skin Care. One study showed it was very useful for second-degree burns. If you have an aloe plant, simply cut open a leaf and use the liquid(汁液) directly to the burnt area. For serious burns, you should still see a doctor. |
| Eyes Pain Try Cucumber If you use your eyes for a long time, lie on your back and place one piece of cucumber over each closed eye. Cucumber helps reduce the pain. Replace the pieces with a cooler pair every two or three minutes, for up to 15 minutes total. |
| Wounds Try Honey Since ancient Egyptian times, people have used honey to treat the wounds. For best results, scientists advised manuka honey, from New Zealand. Brush some honey directly to a wound every 12 to 24 hours and cover it with a piece of clean cloth. |
