i know this sounds a little strange but if you put toothpaste (make sure its a pasty kind) on any sort of bite it will prevent it from getting irritated by the air and such things and the itch will be away before you know it.  also try taking an aveeno oatmeal bath, its very soothing.

Home remedy:  Bacon fat.  That's one my grandfather passed down to me but I've heard it numerous times over the years.  Take a slice of bacon, the more fat the better and place it over the boil.  Depending on where the boil is you may need to put a bandage over it to hold it in place.  Also... a few good soaks in a hot bath will help bring it to a head.  There are cheap over the counter ointments you can use.  \n\nGood luck! I know boils can be very painful.\n\nRod.

Summertime may be everyone’s favourite time of year, but mosquito bites can cause a great deal of irritation. Below you will find a list of ways to treat mosquito bites. \n\nCalamine lotion, otherwise known as the pink stuff, still works. \n\nIf you think it, it will disappear! It might sound crazy and those around you might think you’ve lost it, but this really works for some people. Just close your eyes and say “I feel no pain” or “I do not itch”. \n\nTry tea tree oil. You can find this almost anywhere thanks in large part to the internet, but you can also find some at a health food store. \n\nRub raw garlic over the bites. \n\nMake a paste of water and baking soda and put a dab of paste on your bites. Other pastes that you can make consist of: salt and water or salt and butter. \n\nApply cold compresses. Whether you use a face cloth, a towel, or you fill a ziplock bag with ice, make sure it’s cold. \n\nAloe vera, whether in gel form or straight from the plant itself, works magic with mosquito bites. Simply apply it to the bite and forget about it. \n\nToothpaste or hemorrhoid cream works on the bites as well. \nThe more you scratch a bite, the worse it is. The scratching can also lead to scarring and infection of the bite. If the bite gets infected, contact your doctor for proper treatment.

There are a few home remedies for cuts, but my favorite is natural, raw honey.  The unprocessed honey is the best.\nIt is good for minor cuts and can protect you from infection and scarring.\nSpread the honey on a bandaid or piece of gauze and cover the wound.  Change daily.\nThis is also a great remedy for bedsores.\n\nThe bruise will probably respond to an ice pack.  Cooling constricts the blood vessels which means less blood in the tissues that cause the black and blue spot.\nThe next day try using heat to dilate the blood vessels and improve circulation.

Use a shampoo with Tea Tree Oil in it - always...\nThis should reduce risk if re-infestation.\nWhen head lice are found, it's important that everyone in the household decontaminates at the same time - it doesn't work if one of you leaves it till next week!

Add Body to Your Hair\nCombine 3 tablespoons of deep conditioner with 3 tablespoons of Epsom Salt. Microwave the mixture for 20 seconds. Work the warm mixture through your hair from scalp to ends and leave on for 20 minutes. Rinse with warm water. Promotes body and life in your hair and restores curl to permed hair. \n\nDislodge Blackheads:\nAdd 1 teaspoon of Epsom Salt and three drops of iodine to 1/2 cup of boiling water. After the mixture has cooled a bit, dip strips of cotton into the solution and apply to the problem area. \n\nRepeat three or four times, reheating the solution if necessary. Then, gently unclog your pore, and go over the area with an alcohol-based astringent. \n\nFirst Aid for Splinters, Scrapes and Insect Bites\nThe concentrated power of a warm Epsom Salt compress draws toxins and sweat away from pores, reducing the swelling of minor bites and scrapes. This drawing action also helps bring splinters to the skin's surface. And a cold Epsom Salt compress can take the sting out of insect bites. \n\nRemove Hairspray and Gel Buildup\nCombine a gallon of distilled water, a cup of lemon juice (fresh or bottled), and 1 cup of Epsom Salt. Cap the mixture and let it sit for 24 hours. The next day, pour the mixture into your dry hair and let it sit for 20 minutes. Then shampoo as normal. \n\nSmoother Softer Skin\nTo cleanse and exfoliate, massage handfuls of Epsom Salt over your wet skin, starting with the feet and continuing up toward the face. Then, pour two cups into a bath of warm water. Lean back and relax. As you soak, the natural action of Epsom Salt helps soften the rough, dry patches of your skin.

If you want an old fashioned home remedy that truly works, rub cornstarch in your armpits. No joke it really works. When you do shave use a shaving lotion and sharp razor.

We use tea tree oil after someone had recommended it to us on a natural parenting list. So far it seems to work for us. We just take a moistened q-tip and dip it in the tea tree oil and dab it on pulse points all over the body. We bought a 1 oz. bottle of 100% tea tree oil for $6 at Trader Joe's a couple of years ago. Because you only use a couple of drops at a time it has lasted us a long time. You can also get it at a health food store like Whole Foods, Wild Oats, etc. \n\nAt the time that we started using it our daughter was pretty young .... maybe 18 months or so. Because she was so little I was apprehensive about using anything with strong chemicals like DEET in it. \n\nShe was very susceptible to mosquito bites. We had 2-3 occassions where she got a ton of bites at one time .... something like 30-50 red, itchy bumps all over her body (especially around her diaper area where it's warm & moist), when no one else around her had even one little bite. We haven't had any problems since we started using tea tree oil and have noticed that she's been biten those times where we forgot it.\n\nThat being said it's probably important to note that we live in a suburban community in dry Southern California in the foothills where there are relatively few mosquitoes. We don't live in a high mosquito area, like a swampish climate or in a wilderness area or anything like that. So, I don't know how well it may work in areas where there are tons and tons of of hungry, aggressive mosquitoes.\n\nI have heard that eating bananas can increase your liklihood of being bit. Also, personal products with perfumes ... like lotions, shampoos, deodorant, etc. is said to attract bugs because of the relatively strong scent.\n\nYou can also find other natural treatments for mosquitos (and probably also ticks) at health food stores. I have seen citronella wipes, as well as other natural repellents at Whole Foods. The staff there are usually fairly knowledgeable and willing to answer any questions that you may have.\n\nAs for ticks all I know is that you should make sure that your kids wear long pants and tuck them into the socks so that there is no exposed leg area for them to jump on. I'd imagine that wearing long sleeves also helps and of course staying out of grassy areas that might be infected.\n\nThere was a recent article that I saw in consumer reports that tested the effectiveness of various mosquito sprays. I don't remember for sure... But, I think the article included information on ticks as well. I think that many spray/lotions (those with DEET) help with both.

home remedies for sunburn\nMix 2 teaspoon tomato juice and 4 tablespoon buttermilk and apply on the face. Leave for 1/2 hour, and wash off.\n\nMix olive oil with equal quantity of vinegar and apply an hour before your bath for sunburn relief\n\nMake a paste of Barley, turmeric and yogurt in equal proportions. Apply it over the area of sunburns for sunburn relief.\n\nA thin paste of sandalwood applied to the sunburn area is beneficial\n\nIf you wish to take a bath, you can add vinegar to your water. The vinegar will take out the sting from the sunburn. You can also cook oatmeal and add it to your bath as well.\n\n    *\n          o Medications such as aspirin, ibuprofen, and naproxen are useful, especially when started early.\n\n          o For mild sunburn, cool compresses with equal parts of milk and water may suffice. You may also use cold compresses with Burow solution. You can buy this at a drugstore. Dissolve 1 packet in 1 pint of water. Soak gauze or a soft clean cloth in it. Gently wring out the cloth and apply to the sunburned area for 15-20 minutes. Change or refresh the cloth and solution every 2-3 hours.\n\n          o Anyone raised in a beach community knows the secret of aloe-based lotions. There are many commercially available types. Ask the pharmacist at your local drugstore. Tearing apart your aloe plant in the yard and applying the cool jellylike substance inside the leaves is no longer necessary.\n\n          o Cool (not ice cold) baths may help. Avoid bath salts, oils, and perfumes because these may produce sensitivity reactions. Avoid scrubbing the skin or shaving the skin. Use soft towels to gently dry yourself. Don’t rub. Use a light, fragrance-free skin moisturizer.\n\n          o Avoid lotions that contain topical anesthetic medications because you can become sensitized and then allergic to that medicine.\n\n          o Obviously, stay out of the sun while you are sunburned.

Depends on what kind of bug it was. There's this stuff called "Chig-a-rid" It gets rid of chigger bites or you could use clear fingernail polish.  Mosquito bites go away with Calamine lotion. Any bites take a few days.

Try a product called "RID". You massage it into your scalp killing all the bugs and eggs. It also comes with a fine comb to brush them away. It smells pretty caustic, but it works. Just make sure you follow the instructions.
