Take a night bath to get rid of tiredness

After a hectic day at office, the only thing you look forward to is your bed. But, maybe, not always.Sometimes, you might want to head straight to the shower.Taking a shower after a long day at work will help you in more ways than you think. Though it might be more tempting to head straight for bed, just try taking a bath at night and see the difference for yourself. Contrary to popular belief that a shower or bath at night will take your sleep away, actually the opposite is true.Most of us take a shower in the morning and just wash our faces at night. In this hot and humid weather, just a splash of water relieves you. Think what a shower can do. Here, we reveal the benefits of night baths that will surely tempt you to change your mind.

Gives you great skin: Bathing before going to bed makes your skin feel soft and radiant. It washes off all the germs and bacteria from your body and reduces all skin-related problems.

Makes you sleep better: A morning shower wakes you up and makes you feel fresh, but to induce sleep, you must take a shower at night. A shower cools off your body and helps you get better sleep.

Relieves stress: Having a bath is quite relaxing, and, after a busy day at work, it feels more relaxing as it removes stress and stiffness from body. Taking a shower triggers feel-good hormones and uplifts our mood.

Regulates Blood Pressure: Bathing at night helps to control blood pressure. The temperature of our body tends to rise due to generation of heat throughout the day. It is extremely important to bath at night to keep a check on it.

It refreshes and cleans: Just imagine how many people or surfaces you come in contact with during the day. You might be unknowingly touching germ-filled surfaces. Have a bath after you return home so that all the germs are washed away. Sometimes, when you come home, you are sweaty and hot. But you just ignore it and go to sleep because you are so tired. This can put you at risk of infections.

Prevents allergic reactions: People who are allergic to environmental surrounding like dust and pollen should take a bath whenever they come back home. If you don’t take a bath, you transfer allergens to your bed, which makes your allergic reaction worse.

Simple Home Remedies That Really Work

Stinky Feet

Easy cure: Vodka

Remedy for: Foot odor

If your feet smell less than swell, wipe them down with a vodka-soaked washcloth to get rid of the stench. It's the same principle as rubbing alcohol (which works equally well if you'd rather drink your Grey Goose). Vodka contains alcohol, which is antiseptic and drying, so it destroys odor-causing fungus and bacteria and dries out the moisture that lets these organisms grow.

Throbbing Head

Easy cure: Pencil

Remedy for: Headaches

When you're stressed or anxious, you subconsciously clench your jaw and teeth; this strains the muscle that connects your jaw to your temples and can trigger a tension headache. A solution: "Put a pencil between your teeth but don't bite," says an expert. You automatically relax your jaw muscle to do this, which can prevent the pain.

Halitosis ( bad breath)

Simple cure: Yogurt

Remedy for: Bad breath

Preliminary research shows that the live bacteria in yogurt can suppress levels of bad breath–causing bacteria. "Good" bugs in yogurt may crowd out the "bad" stink-causing bacteria or create an unhealthy environment for it, says a dentist. 

Painful Blisters

Simple cure: Listerine

Remedy for: Blisters

The classic breath freshener—and powerful antiseptic—can also work miracles on blisters. Moisten a cotton ball with Listerine and dab it on your blister 3 times a day until the area dries out and no longer hurts, says  a certified nutrition consultant.

Throbbing Feet

Easy cure: Tennis ball

Remedy for: Achy feet

For an easy, free mini massage that stretches and soothes your arches, slip off your shoes and roll each foot over a tennis ball, golf ball, or soup can for a minute or two. To cool throbbing feet, roll them over a bottle of frozen water. 

Hiccups

Simple cure: Sugar

Remedy for: Hiccups

A teaspoon of sugar swallowed dry can stop hiccups in minutes, says  a professor of medicine. The sugar is believed to modify the nerve muscles that would otherwise tell the muscles in the diaphragm to contract spasmodically and contribute to hiccups.

Seasickness

Simple  cure: Olives or lemons

Remedy for: Motion sickness

Motion sickness causes you to produce excess saliva, which can make you nauseated, some doctors say. Compounds in olives called tannins dry out your mouth and can help soothe the uneasiness, anxiety. Pop a couple at the first hint of nausea; sucking on a lemon can also do the trick.

Fragile Fingernails

Simple cure: Vegetable oil

Remedy for: Brittle nails

In order to really fix dry nails, you have to address the problem of too-little moisture. In addition to using hand lotion regularly, try this nighttime treatment from a dermatologist : Before you go to bed, apply vegetable oil to your hands, then put on vinyl gloves or wrap your hands in plastic wrap to keep the oil off your bedding. The hand coverings force the oil to penetrate your skin, preventing your hands and nails from getting too dry.

Road Rage

Easy cure: Peppermint or cinnamon gum

Remedy for: The stress of a traffic-packed commute

In a  study, scientists  monitored the responses of 25 college students during simulated driving scenarios. The volunteers reported that peppermint lowered their feelings of fatigue or anxiety by 20%. Peppermint and cinnamon each decreased frustration by 25%, increased alertness by 30%, and made the ride seem 30% shorter. Not a gum or candy person? Buy peppermint or cinnamon aromatherapy diffusers for the car.

Less-Than-Pearly Whites

Easy cure: Apple

Remedy for: Whiter teeth

Crunchy fruits and vegetables act as little toothbrushes when you chew them; they have a natural cleansing action that works on tooth enamel to remove stains. In particular, "apples have a gentle malic acid that also helps dissolve stains," says a dentist.

Cold sores

Easy cure- Lemon balm tea

Remedy for: Cold sores
Lemon balm is a first-choice herbal treatment for cold sores, which are caused by a type of herpes virus (not the same kind that's sexually transmitted). It has antiviral properties that work to tame herpes outbreaks, says a researcher. Prepare lemon balm tea by brewing 2 to 4 tablespoons of the herb per cup of boiling water. Let it cool, then dot with a cotton ball on the cold sore several times a day.

Calluses

Easy cure: Licorice

Use it for: Calluses and corns
"Licorice contains estrogen-like substances that soften the hard skin of calluses and corns," says a Dr. Make this homemade licorice paste: Grind up a few licorice sticks, mix them with ½ teaspoon of petroleum jelly, and rub the mixture into the rough areas of your feet.

Eczema

Simple cure: Olive oil

Remedy for: Eczema
Soothe flareups by applying olive oil directly to the irritated area, says a dermatologist. Packed with antioxidants that can reduce the inflammation associated with eczema, olive oil is the basis for many moisturizers; when used alone, it lacks chemical irritants you may find in store-bought creams. As a bonus, olive oil's antioxidants help prevent and repair damage that can lead to wrinkles and brown spots. Rub 1 teaspoon per square inch of skin, which creates a seal that prevents skin from drying out. For serious cases, cover oil-slathered skin with plastic wrap overnight to lock moisture in.

Hypertension

Easy cure: soothing music

Remedy for: High blood pressure
Thirty minutes of the right tunes every day can help lower BP, according to a research. Researchers found that people on a medication for hypertension further lowered their blood pressure after they listened to music while breathing slowly. Systolic readings (the first number) decreased an average of 3.2 points in a week; a month later, readings were down 4.4 points.

Burnt Tongue

Easy cure: Ice cream

Remedy for: Pizza burn
The tissue on the roof of your mouth is only a few millimeters thick, so it's very sensitive to hot foods. If you didn't wait to let that pepperoni slice to cool down, soothe your scorched mouth with a spoonful of ice cream or frozen yogurt. "The cool can bring temporary relief," says a Dr. Swigging a cold drink or putting an ice cube in your mouth should also do the trick, but be sure to remove the cube quickly before it becomes painful.

UTI

Easy cure: Baking soda

Remedyfor: Urinary tract infections
At the first sign of symptoms, drink a solution made with ¼ teaspoon of baking soda mixed in 8 ounces of water. Continue this once a day until you can get a culture done at a doctor's office and start antibiotics. Baking soda makes the bladder environment more alkaline, which reduces bacteria's ability to multiply, says a retired assistant clinical professor of urology.

Bruises

Simple cure: Cloves

Remedy for: Cuts
Sprinkle powdered cloves on a cut to keep it from becoming infected, says a Dr. Clove oil is rich in eugenol, a chemical that's both antiseptic and pain-killing.

Soft Skin

Simple cure: Papaya

Remedy for: Smoother skin
This tropical fruit contains papain, a protein-eating enzyme that dissolves the dead cells on your skin's surface that can make it look dull and rough and leave it prone to breakouts. When used twice a month, this peel leaves skin softer, smoother, and more radiant: Grind 2 tablespoons of washed and peeled papaya in a food processor and add 1 tablespoon of dry oatmeal. Pat this mixture onto clean skin and let it set for 10 minutes before wiping off with a wet washcloth. The enzymes in papaya are gentle, which is why this is an ideal treatment for those with sensitive skin. However, to be safe, do a test spot behind your ear the first time you try it.

Warts

Simple cure: Duct tape

Remedy for: Warts
Yes, this really does work! Covering warts with duct tape eliminates them better than freezing them off, according to a study. In the study, the duct tape eliminated 85% of the warts after 2 months, compared with 60% with the freezing method. To use duct tape safely, clean the area. Then cut a piece of duct tape to a size slightly bigger than the wart. Apply the duct tape to the site and rub into place. Every 3 days, remove the tape and file down dead skin with a pumice stone or nail file. Repeat until the wart disappears. Chemicals in the tape suffocate and kill the wart.

After reading these  facts and uses, you will definitely try to eat more lemons and use them in more creative ways. If you are the kind of person who never liked lemons, despite their strong taste, high vitamin C content, antioxidants, B-vitamins, calcium and more, this just might be the thing to change your mind!

Restore the pH levels in your body: The stress of modern life, junk food, pollution, lack of exercise and other toxins we accumulate can throw our body off balance. Although lemons are very acidic, their nutrient content is alkaline-forming and thus helps make our body more resistant to a number of health problems. A cup of warm water with some lemon squeezed in will help you start your day in a healthy way.

Help your digestion process: Lemons are powerfully antibacterial and as such they destroy bad bacteria in your body and allow good bacteria to flourish. The good bacteria help with problems such as indigestion and constipation. A glass of water mixed with the juice of one lemon, or any other means of combining lemons with a large meal, will help stimulate peristalsis and the production of stomach acids that will aid the digestion process.

A helpful dietary aid: When you're on a diet, a lemon can be your best friend for a number of reasons. First, it contains Pectin, a fiber that can help you feel fuller and eat less. Thanks to this, a glass of lemon tea before a meal can help prevent overeating. Second, lemon juice happens to be a natural diuretic. This means it helps the body get rid of excess water it doesn’t need through increased urination, this will make you feel less heavy and puffy.

Natural parasite killer: Parasites and intestinal worms are very hard to get rid of, but there is a key element to getting rid of them that lemons contain. Parasites love acidic environments and drinking lemon juice or eating lemons will make your digestive system a more balanced environment, one that is hostile to parasites.

Natural mouth wash: If you have bad breath or canker sores, a lemon might be an easy, cheap and simple way to deal with them. Apply fresh lemon juice to the area or gargle just like any other oral care aid. If you have bleeding gums, you can massage freshly squeezed lemon juice to the problematic area and deal with the bacteria causing all the pain directly.

Relax and increase concentration: The gentle scent of a lemon has been scientifically proven to have a calming effect. The lemon's essential oil has the ability to increase your level of concentration and alertness while working or studying, just by enjoying the fresh scent it emits.

Exfoliate and renew your skin: The vitamin C in lemons has a beneficial effect on your skin as well as your body. Many skin care products are high in vitamin C because it stimulates cell renewal by gently exfoliating your skin. By using a slice of lemon as a facial scrub, you will remove stubborn dirt and dead skin from your face and reveal the fresh, clean and healthy layer underneath.

Take better care of your liver: Herbalists and naturopaths claim that the sourness of lemons signals the body to activate the liver and kidneys, and that the antioxidants in the lemon help enhance kidney and liver function. This enables them to better detoxify themselves and the rest of the body. As previously mentioned, lemons are also a mild diuretic, so they encourage your body to release stored, unused water along with the accumulated waste products flushed out by your liver.

Lower your blood pressure: The Pectin in lemons can help lower cholesterol that causes high blood pressure. Flavonoids, as well as vitamin P, also serve to strengthen the blood vessels themselves and lower the risk of them being damaged by high blood pressure.

Keep a dandruff-free head: A simple way to treat dandruff by yourselves is to make a hair mask using lemon juice and other natural ingredients like coconut oil. Use this mask to moisturize your dry scalp, but don't use it for too long or too often as lemon juice can also lighten your hair color.

Take better care of your feet: The solution for rough and scaly feet might be right inside your kitchen. The citric acid along with the vitamin C in lemons can take off dead skin, enhance skin renewal, and brighten dark skin areas. Simply soak your feet in some hot water mixed with the juice of 2-3 lemons, 2 tablespoons of olive oil and ¼ cup of milk for about 20 minutes. Your feet will not only be softer than ever but will also smell much better!

A home-made cure for fever and chills: Lemon tea and lemon juice have long been used as home-made remedies to help lower fever. A cup of lemon tea with honey every few hours should help subside any chill or fever you might have. Of course, if the fever persists - go see a doctor.

Get healthy glowing skin: Lemons aren't just used to repair damaged skin, the high levels of vitamin C found in lemons are used by your body to make collagen and elastin. Both are tissues responsible for giving your skin a glowing and youthful appearance. Simply start eating more lemons, or apply lemon juice to your skin, and after a short while you will see the effect.

Pain relief: The oils found in lemons create an aroma that relaxes blood vessels and reduces inflammation, both key factors in pain relief. If you suffer from sore joints or other inflammatory diseases, drink a glass of lemon water every day to help ease your symptoms. Lemon extract can even help alleviate pain caused by sunburn if applied to the skin with water and gently rubbed on the painful area.

A treatment for varicose veins: Lemons have the ability to strengthen blood vessels, and so can be used to reduce the appearance of varicose veins, making your legs look younger and healthier. Add a few drops of lemon essential oil to a moisturizing oil of your choice (like jojoba or avocado oil) and rub the mixture onto the affected area. Doing so on a regular basis will slowly make the veins disappear from the top of your skin.
