Answers:
Most common first aid problems are best dealt with using soap and clean water, and simple bandaging materials.
A lot of home remedies, like vinegar for burns, do not really do much more than soap and water does- and many cause more problems then they solve. This is a common problem in a lot of 'home remedies' lists.
Having said that, there are some things that work...
- Baking soda. As a paste, it eases itching. In bathwater, it soothes skin, it can be used for dozens of other uses as well.
- Corn starch dabbed on a small wound or scrape can stop the bleeding.
- Payayan (spelling.?) based meat tenderizer can stop the pain of most stings, and ammonia stops most othersHealth Question & Answer
