10 Natural Remedies That Actually Work
Вставка
- Опубліковано 26 вер 2024
- I’ve come on this channel and debunked “natural remedies” and “at home treatments” for various health problems more times than I can even remember. Considering how critical I’ve been of these naturopathic treatments, you might be surprised to learn that while most of them a myths, there are a handful of natural treatments that you can actually use to treat some mild health conditions. Honey for a cough, melatonin for sleep, saline nasal sprays to clear your sinuses while you have a cold, sugar for hiccups, oatmeal to treat eczema, aloe vera for sunburns, prunes for constipation, calamine for itches and burns, probiotics, and even duct tape to fight warts. Of course, don’t get me started on soda for fighting an upset stomach! Have you tried any of these? Let me know down in the comments!
I LOVE reading your comments and take your suggestions seriously. If there’s a subject you want me to discuss or something you’d like for me to react to, leave a comment down below. Many of my videos have been born out of suggestions directly from you, so don’t hold back!

Dr. Mike “don’t watch any devices before bed!” Me who can’t fall asleep without watching something 👁💧👄💧👁
See if your device has a night mode or comfort viewing or something.
It's increasingly common to be able to reduce the amount of blue light coming from a screen on a timer.
Thanks to him I’ve just been diagnosed with delayed sleep wake phase syndrome…didn’t know it was a thing but I have it according to my doctor
is it watching or is it that you need the noise? I turn on netflix at night but I would be able to fall asleep just as if not easier if I was listening to a podcast or something instead.

Same here, I get real anxious before going to sleep and my thoughts race so I need something to get my mind off first.
2:35 I like how you explained that the over-eating of sugar is what makes it bad, not the sugar itself. People have this idea that they have to cut sugars completely out of their diet, even natural sugars. It's kinda sad because we need some sugar in our diet.
You don’t need to *consume* sugar because your body makes enough glucose on its own through fat storage. But if you had no sugar at all, yeah you’d die
I'm pretty sure we could get enough sugar from foods not usually thought of as having sugar, like meat and bitter vegetables,, and then popping a blueberry every once in a while
right?? my mom did that bc the doctor said it was too high and now is too low and is dangerous for her.
@@BrendanBeckett "popping a blueberry every once in a while" ... you say that like eating fruit is something that people shouldn't do often lmfao
What about me? My body can’t handle much sugar for some reason and I don’t really eat sugary food:(
Remedy that is very helpful for most things: sleep and time
Also, a generally healthy diet.

Another one for duct tape. As one who works with ducts, I am always in contact with fiber glass insulation. This causes skin irritation for days as the micro fibers break off and stab the epidermis. After your work is done each day, take some of that tape and put it on the exposed areas and other places the micro daggers might have invaded. The tape will pull away the fibers and leave you with a good night's sleep.
My first aid kit consists of a roll of duct tape and a bottle of methylated spirits to clean out cuts 😅
Haha! Duct tape...no band aids? Duct tape. Used it. It worked 😂
I'm in HVAC too, putting baby powder on exposed skin before going around ducts helps as well, it clogs your pores and doesn't allow the fiberglass to settle in as much. I don't always use it for service calls but if I'm cutting ductboard or something where it's unavoidable I'll put it on.
Use a lint roller on your skin
I used duct tape as bandaids when I worked as a barback, because they fell off from getting wet WAY less often.

@@vesnea been doing it for as long as i can remember
Me reading this comment at 1:32
I’ve done it so much to the point where I subconsciously put my device down and start to slowly fall asleep. I end up jolting awake and continue whatever I was doing.
I watch ASMR to fall asleep, as soon as I start a video I'm asleep.

Thank you for commenting on the sun burn. My wife is a melonoma researcher. There isn't a "good cancer", but there are worse cancers. Melonoma can often be super aggressive.
All tanning is damage!
then how is a person suppose to build up their vitamin D levels w/o sun exposure?? we have been lied to into buying sunscreens.
Morning routine. Wake up, eat breakfast, brush and floss teeth, wash your body, and apply sunscreen.
Sunscreen has unnatural chemicals and blocks absorption of sunlight that makes vitamin d in the body. Regulate early sun exposure and there is no problem. Ask the millions of people in tropical parts of the world
Is there a better brand of sunscreen to use?
Spiritual view: you think God put you on a sunny planet and then said stay out of the sun? Scientific view: we spent thousands of years evolving on a sunny planet. And how many sunscreens contain carcinogens?
As a person with ADHD, melatonin supplements are a freaking godsend. ADHD can make it difficult to sleep. And saline nasal sprays are great.
I build up immunity to sleeping medications and it sucks so badd lol
Yesss I have moderate autism and severe ADHD
as someone with ADHD,,,, I need to try 👀
It's great to have someone that accepts both medical science and natural remedies. I sometimes enjoy a little wild lettuce tea, yet it's unfortunate that the science cheerleaders would view me as anti-science. Yet some how drinking coffee as opposed to a prescription pharmaceutical isn't considered anti-science.
Too bad they don't work for me :(
I like how Mike always makes sure to inform his viewers that not all natural remedies are scams and such.
well i can vouch for aloe vera and oatmeal, i suffer form eczema and eating oatmeal almost every morning has definitely helped my skin feel WAY better. i also burned myself once with the tailpipe of a motorcycle pretty bad and all i did was clean it daily and apply aloe vera morning and night and it healed in about 2 weeks.
Yes! Some doctors think pharma is ALWAYS the answer.
aloe vera has been used in ayurveda for centuries
@@Black-tq8ef which is not a valid argument at all. Appeal to tradition is a fallacy. Just because something had been done or used for a long time doesn't mean it's effective.
Aloe Vera works not because it's been used for thousands of years.

My mom would make “ginger soda”, she would boil about 5-15mg of shredded ginger in water, then let it steep. After she would add 1 cube of sugar and return to a boil. It was amazing to drink when you were sick
²2222222222222222222222222222²²22222222221
I think those weights are wrong. 15mg of ginger would be about the size of a single grain of salt and you'd need some serious equipment to measure that. Did you mean grams?
That's ginger tea, which mike mentioned, not soda, which is a carbonated sugary drink.
My favorite way to make ginger tea with raw ginger root is to slice, chop, or shred, ginger and steep it in hot/boiling water, then let it cool to a drinkable temperature and add honey and lemon to taste. Ginger is great for inflammation, pain, and stomach upset, lemon is also good for stomach upset and it just good for you in general, and the same with honey, like Dr. Mike mentioned, it great for taking care of your throat. Honey is also great for helping with local allergies if you buy a locally made honey.
Sounds rrally good to drink. And if it works, thats a double win.
I’m 61 yrs old and my mom always gave me and my sibs sugar for hiccups. It ALWAYS worked! It’s nice to see it was validated!
Also helps if you burn your mouth say, on hot pizza. Any mouth burn, get some sugar on it and "cured"!
@@opieutt9038 I didn’t know that! I will try that
@@opieutt9038 i wish i knew that one, i burned my tongue once and everything tasted kinda off for 3 days
How do you consume the sugar, may I ask? like just scoop a spoonful of sugar and just leave it? or..? Pls help
@@isekye my mom would use a tablespoon and then get a tiny bit of water on it so the sugar would stay on the tongue and help it go down. Don’t put a huge heaping tablespoon of sugar, you need space for room for a bit of water.
My old friend Bob was diagnosed with nasal polyps over 50 years ago. The doctor removed them but told him he’d have to continue coming back to clear them. He went home and followed the doctor’s orders and snorted salty water right from his palm (just like the old hillbilly he was…lol) and did that every night before he went to bed and never had a cold or a sore throat or any kind of ailment, including the polyps, until the day he passed away in his sleep. The man was one of the most delightful people I have ever met. Long live the saline!

@@Whiterin it's unfortunately not how it works. Even you do fall asleep easily, the reduced melatonin production when your circadian rhythm drops further in the middle of your sleep, will prevent your body from doing a lot of its functions properly when youre asleep. Be it in terms of body repairs, cerebral functions, renewals among others. So in other words it reduces your quality of sleep and the benefits of sleep regardless of the time taken to fall asleep.
In Hawaii we have used aloe vera on burns for forever. Most of us have a plant growing in our yards at all times. We use it to promote healing for minor cuts or blisters as well.
California does it too.
Hey Mike! Could you do another update on vaping? Love ya. Thank ya.
It's awful for your lungs. You are introducing water vapors that don't belong in the lungs
bad for lung
@@norical64 Sped moment
Agreed
@@aaronschimmel2950 Erm... you're missing the point. Sure it's not something you want to be doing if you wanna stay 100% healthy but the point of those is to introduce water vapours instead of freaking tar onto your lungs along with other cancer inducing shits. Some research I saw said that 1. vaping compared to smoking is just night and day, it has relatively small effect on your health when compared to cigarettes, people quite effectively quit smoking with these, and if they don't quit completely they stay with a vape instead of cigarettes. That's worth looking into rather than saying "vape bad".
Dr Mike: “don”t expose yourself to blue light when going to bed”
Me: *watches Dr Mike with his blue-lighted stethoscope before going to bed*
Its not how that works, but its still bluelight
Or if u
U would think blue would calm the mind but no agressive red light does
Blue light from your screen
Your phone may have a night mode or comfort view or something that will reduce the amount of blue light from your screen (probably on a daily timer).
It helps, especially if your brightness is turned all the way down.
My dad is a doctor and my mom is a nurse all of the things that dr mike was saying I alredy knew about them and had been using them since I was little This video has made me realise how lucky I was to be born in my household. Such a great video, simple but extremly educacional

When I have an upset stomach, or have nausea, I found the baking soda is very helpful. Working with elderly people they had some decent, inexpensive, remedy hacks (I also checked online to make sure it was safe). It’s like a dupe for Alka-Seltzer.
It's crazy that I already do most of these without knowing the benefits. Most days I put honey in my oatmeal as a sweetener and I have noticed that my allergy symptoms have calmed down so that they're far more manageable, but I don't have eczema so I can't really say much about the benefits of the oatmeal part. Also, calamine lotion is a GODSEND for bug bites. When I used to work on a farm we would keep a bottle around for especially vicious bugs. It worked wonderfully.
I didn't believe the honey allergy thing until I tried it. It's not as effective as allergy shots, but boy it's more pleasant.
Calamine lotion works so goddamn well wtf
Using locally sourced honey is a great way to treat allergies. My daughters' pediatrician (who was mine as a teenager), taught me that.
Cool but no one cares
Why would you eat oatmeal?
In my experience working for a dermatologist, children actually handle liquid nitrogen way better than most adults
Woah! Hi Doctor Mike!
Yeah, I remember when the doc used liquid nitrogen to remove a wart, it wasn’t that bad (I was around 10 probably)
Yes that liquid nitrogen hurt me so bad when I was an adult, I refused to let them burn my kids warts, they disappeared by itself
Had to test it . . . and you were right! They just chug it right down! Especially if you add a little sugar to it.
@@gewgulkansuhckitt9086 What the heck. You should not be chugging liquid nitrogen. How are those kids not dead.
Hopefully this helps
1.) Honey 0:10 - Recommended for a night time cough
⚠️WARNING⚠️ This is only for children over the age of 1
2.) Melatonin Supplements 0:44 - This can help with jet lag and delayed sleep (wake phase syndrome)
⚠️ IT IS A GOOD IDEA TO BRING THIS UP WITH YOUR DOCTOR IF YOU ARE SUFFERING FROM ONE OF THESE CONDITIONS ⚠️
3.) Saline Nasal Spray(aka salt water) 1:47 - This can help with sinus infections, colds, and allergies
4.) Sugar 2:28 - This can help with hiccups
5.) Oatmeal 3:16 - This can help specifically for eczema (make sure it is colloidal oatmeal)
6.) Aloe Vera 3:36 - This can help for a lot of uses for skin like burns
7.) Prunes 4:14 - This can help with constipation
⚠️WARNING⚠️ If you have IBS(Irritable bowel syndrome) please be careful because this can sometimes make your symptoms worse, make sure to discuss with your doctor first
8.) Calamine lotion 4:56 - This can help with burns, itches, and irritations like poison ivy
9.) Probiotics 5:11 - This can prevent antibiotic-associated diarrhea
10.) Duct tape 6:13 - This can speed up heating for warts from human papilloma virus(HPV)

Another remedy for hiccups:
If someone has the hiccups say "do you have the hiccups?" And when they say yes you then say "prove it" I SWEAR IT WORKS LIKE 95% OF THE TIME FOR ME AND MY FAMILY.
I hold my breath (it works better with honey in your throat)

@@chrono-glitchwaterlily8776 right? I didn't think it would work but once I tried it a couple times and it did work, I was mindblown 🤣
Beekeeper (And student nurse) here! Raw unfiltered honey is also antibacterial and a humectant. There is research in burn units of using honey bandages to help speed healing in superficial and partial thickness burns!
Honey is a fantastic resource.
Yes! It is great for difficult to heal wounds. However, don’t just use raw honey that is sold for food. Medical honey is irradiated to kill any pathogens in it without heating it. However, you can buy bandages impregnated with medical honey at your local pharmacy.
Honey is great for cuts too, small ones i should add, large cuts probably need medical intervention
Yes! I put honey on burns and wounds all the time and it works for me. I cook and bake a lot so small burns are very common.
Only downside to honey (which makes me prefer aloe vera for this one thing) on my burns is that the honey drawing out the moisture burns more than the actual burn. 😖

@@truepennytv You put that in such a beautiful way!
For me the drinking ginger ale while I was sick was very little about "oh ginger makes you feel better" and it being a good way of getting me to drink enough liquids but my mom always had diet ginger ale. Also I feel like there was this idea that "clear liquids" was the ideal thing to consume, so like ginger ale/sprite, chicken noodle soup, water, broth. Idk why we thought that clear liquids in particular were important my only thought being it would be less distressing if you were throwing up a clear liquid rather than say throwing up beet juice.

As someone who gets a lot of blood noses during the dryer months of winter, saline nose sprays r truly an absolute godsend.
if you do get one, the nasal sprays with the steroids in them, spray it on a bit of tissue, and use that to plug the nose, it'll stop in a few seconds
I remember when my eczema would be at its worst as a kid and it hurt to walk my skin was so bad, oatmeal baths helped immensely, and always used aloe vera on sunburns, works wonders!

As a child, I wasn't taught to use sunscreen (unless I was at the beach or in a very abnormally hot area - I grew up in NC). I didn't learn the importance of skin checks (for everyone) until about a year ago. I had a spot I realized was changing. First time I saw a dermatologist I had a mole removed that day. Turns out it was just a benign blue nevus (basically a typical mole), however, I got it from a bad burn. Due to the fact it was changing in size/shape/color, they wanted to remove it. They also put a 'watch' on a few other spots I have. I've heard so many horror stories of skin cancer since that experience and I'm so SO thankful we live in a day & age where we can often preemptively catch skin cancer. Please wear sunscreen daily and go to a dermatologist annually!!!
Ill do you one better, stay in the shade. More convenient wnd cheaper too!
My dermatology makes me come in every 6 months since they found a spot of cancer on me.
you got bad GENETICS....
if you had good GENETICS then you'd build up sun resistance or being able to adapt from it
@@PercabethYessss Not just the shade, because it's gotta be real thick shade, not just the light/thin shade from trees...just stay inside and away from windows. It's the safest place to be, especially if you have fair skin and a family history of cancer.
Edit: I forgot to add that higher altitude also makes it worse. The higher you are, the less ozone blocks UV rays, allowing more UV to hit you. I live in a state where winter (especially at altitude where I am) is one of the worst times for sunburns from people thinking they're safe because it's winter. UVs bounce off the snow, so you have to be protected from all angles.
@@Moraenil yes
I had to laugh about the prunes. Ten years ago, I spent five days in the hospital after a colon resection. I couldn’t leave until after my first BM. The nurse made me her grandma’s recipe for hot buttered prune juice. You guessed it - it was prune juice with a pat of butter, heated. Whether it worked, or just coincidence, I went home the next morning.
My mom used to work for a general surgeon. When patients would call asking about how to deal with constipation after surgery, the doctor would tell them to drink prune juice.
Once was backed up for a few days and a friend recommended a glass of prune juice. I wasn't paying attention and poured a pint glass (16 oz) and drank it all. It more than worked -- that's all I will say 😬😂.
I don't care for the taste/texture myself. I don't get constipation, but if I get an upset stomach from something I ate, I have a trick that will expedite the processing of most of what's in my stomach as well as what's already been processed and waiting to hit the exit chute. Potatoes or Romaine Lettuce :) If I don't clean them enough, they will give me stomach cramps within 45 minutes or much sooner after eating them because of the pesticides or w/e. This means I have to run for the porcelain throne room for an audience while the dungeon is evacuated.
I also put a spoon full of applesauce in it....I am a registered nurse and work the surgical unit ;-)
Hi Mike, love your videos! As someone who had sinus issues, I've used saline for years. I recently learned that saline rinses away the good bacteria in your sinus area. My dentist was quite passionate about how wonderful xylitol is😮 for your teeth and I found out is also wonderful for sinuses. Same relief but leaves the beneficial bacteria. And during pollen season I definitely felt better relief from it. Would love to hear your thoughts😉
how do you use it for sinuses and what product do you use? i can’t imagine putting like mouthwash in my nose would be safe
My ENT suggests using the saline rinse and adding half a teaspoon of Xylitol to the water. She says it creates a barrier in which the bacteria can't grow since it (just like us) can't digest Xylitol.
@@GingerBiPolarBear thanks!
Have you tried a neti pot? The mechanical force of the water flushes out gunk if it's in the more accessible sinuses (I had an infection in my maxillary sinus once that a neti pot cured totally in a few days).
@@mmmmmmmmaria NO not mouthwash... but for example, neti pots come with special salt ingredients to mix with sanitized water.

Green tea with honey is actually delicious and I started using it for my sore throat. It does work. Thank you😁
Since green and black tea have caffeine, they actually dry out your throat slightly. Just ask any speech pathologist. You're better off drinking certain kinds of herbal teas instead. If I'm sick, I like to drink mountain tea, forest fruit tea, or aronia tea.
A lot of singers drink it before getting on stage

Capsaicin aka the key ingredient in chili peppers. Absolutely incredible for arthritis pain. It burns incredibly bad at first, but regular use combats joint pain like nothing else.
How do you apply it? Just rub a pepper on your joints?
@@tamiburoker1211 lol not quite. You can buy capsaicin lotion at any pharmacy or box store. It's a thick paste in a tube. It is advised to wear gloves after putting it on your hands cuz any touch to your eyes or genitals is a likely hospital visit. And less is definitely more, particularly at first. It can legitimately burn your skin and cause nerve issues if overused. But when applied correctly, it destroys pain.
Another thing about the nasal saline spray: in very dry and cold areas, it’s a great way to rehydrate dried-up sinus passageways. I live in Alaska, and I need a humidifier or the occasional nose spray to keep my sinuses from drying out and giving me splitting headaches.
Isn’t salt water drying the skin instead of hydrating it ?
@@Cimer5883 That happens when salt water gets on the outside skin and the water evaporates, leaving the salt residue behind. Excessive salt deposits on the skin draw water out of the skin to balance the electrolyte environment on the outside skin layers, so the excessive salt doesn’t damage anything, but that then dries out the skin.
Sinuses are INSIDE the forehead and connect up to the nasal cavity and even have small passages to the ears. Because the salt water is going INSIDE the body, normal evaporation doesn’t take place. At best, the body absorbs the salt content and redistributes it throughout the body, and at worst any excessive salt deposits in the sinuses draw water from nearby body tissues into the sinuses, which can relieve the splitting headaches that can occur when the sinuses dry out. Sinuses can dry out quite often in dry and cold environments, because there is both very little moisture in the air already AND the cold freezes the moisture and precipitates any humidity out of the air as a result of the humidity literally being frozen.
Last but certainly not least, salt water INSIDE the body is an important electrolyte that is critical to proper body function. The salt balance in the human body is very important to maintain and be aware of. That makes saline solutions much more “neutral” to the inside body tissues than just pure water, and the sinuses and nose hole passages ARE inside the body. However, the amount of saline solution used is often not even a single ounce, or doesn’t go beyond an ounce or so. Drinking, ingesting or gargling eight whole ounces of salt water could disrupt that balance and dehydrate the body, but for the nasal passages a small amount is perfect.
@@boomkruncher325zzshred5 thank you for this explanation, I appreciate it.

nose spray helps me avoid getting a bunch of nose bleeds during winter so it's helped me out a lot too.
I’ve never heard of the delayed sleep disorder and I feel like it really describes what I deal with. Definitely going to talk my doctor about it because I’ve been suffering from sleep issues my whole life and have only recently decided I need to get it under control after I had to ask someone else to drive me because I was too concerned about potentially falling asleep behind the wheel.

Had to deal with it my whole life. My best description is permanent biological jet-lag.
Wish I knew the term earlier. My second child may have it. They used to not sleep hardly at all, always under an hour. But they never seemed to get out of that newborn lack of circadian rhythm cycle. So on top of only sleeping minutes here and there, my second was falling asleep for their longest sleep cycle when I had to wake up my older child for school. Pediatrician approved melatonin around 3yrs old, but never seemed to have any awareness of delayed sleep cycle or anything else. At least youtube is here with the info 😂
It's only a "disorder" because society makes it as hard as possible for people to live their natural life if it happens to be during the night. If you get enough sleep then what does it matter what time it is? Why is it "lazy" if you work just as hard but you don't start the minute the rooster crows?
I have a delayed sleep phase disorder, I was diagnosed with it simultaneously with my sleep apnea from my sleep specialist. I take melatonin every night to help me sleep but i still struggle sometimes to sleep before morning
Doctor Mike: “ Don’t use devices that give off bluelight just before bed.”
Me: *Watching this video on my phone, just before bedtime.*
Me too 🤟🤣
Your phone probably has a blue light filter you can use if you like watching youtube before bed to minimise the blue light.
We all know those things we should and shouldn't do....
Then we go and DO everything we shouldn't, and DON'T do the things we should.
We're a bass-ackwards messed up species 😁.

This is such a great moment, and I'm seriously hoping that was real.
If a doctor showed this small level of humility, id trust my life with them.
That awkward moment when you're watching this video before bed
😅
When I was working in kitchens, when someone got burned we would tell them to put a little honey on the fresh burn (assuming it wasn't an open wound) to help it heal. I did an experiment once where I only covered half my burn with honey. The honey half healed faster and was less painful.
Prob from royal jelly in the honey. It’s what is fed to queen bees and in a lot of skincare products!
When my husband got a pretty bad abrasion along with his broken elbow, the military hospital actually gave him a pharmaceutical grade leptospermum honey burn and wound dressing called MediHoney gel. I made the mistake of tasting it out of curiosity before I read the ointment tube. The 20% that isn’t honey tastes absolutely horrible.
That stuff works really well, though.
that’s actually true! Honey does help w minor abrasions or cuts and burns.
It should be said to apply honey only after the burn has been THOROUGHLY cooled with water though, as applying it too early could retain the heat in the skin, making the burn worse. Burns are very prone to infection, so honey's antimicrobial properties can be very useful for protection.
@@previouslyachimp with room temp water! NEVER use cold water or ice on a burn because it will do way more damage!

The Editor had fun with this one.
Also a quick remedy for hiccups that I have always used is breathing in 3 times deeply without breathing out. Has worked every single time since I started doing it.
What never fails to work for me is just taking a sip of water.
Woah…. No hiccup cures ever work for me, not even water. But this just worked for me!!! Thank you!!
@@kaitlin6184 it forces your diaphragm to relax ....breathing out is actually the active part of breathing :-). So just breathing in and making sure that you relax your stomach (think balloon) whilst doing so also helps.
For me I take a big breath in and then hold in until I can't. My hiccups is usually gone after that. Maybe sometimes I have to do it another time but that's it. Water has never worked for me neither..

I was so excited to hear you talk about delayed sleep/wake phase syndrome! It seems like none of my professors in optometry school have ever heard of it
"Delayed sleep - wake phase syndrome" otherwise known as my life lol. I never knew there was an actual term for that. I just thought I suffered from constant insomnia. Thanks for this bit of info!
I don't even have insomnia, I just have a weird sleep schedule. Like I sleep during the day for 8 hours and stay up all night lol
Yep, it's a thing, and it's extremely common issue in the ADHD population because they experience time differently.
@@SnowySpiritRuby Really? I have ADHD and I never even thought about that. I don't fall asleep until around midnight, I wake up at 10, and then I _still_ have a nap at some point during the day.
Oh yeah. There’s a whole chapter on sleep in my psych book
I have insomnia so bad it's crazy 😭 sleep is something I don't get much
I love how Mike takes his own time to debunk Theories for us. It makes me personally feel special.
Yup

Yes :D
When I was a kid in the 90s, my sister would get warts on her feet often. So we went to the foot doctor and he simply told my mom to put duck tape on them. We thought it was weird at first, but we did and they cleared up so fast! Totally recommend!
I had one on my toe and the foot doc decided to freeze it. Well it didn’t work at all, it came back. So I ended up using those watt removing bandaids which worked wonders... and a lot cheaper
I've been getting warts on my hands and feet for yeaaaaaaars and ive had always gone to have them frozen off at my doctors. But when I do that it hurts like a massive B, I pass out most of the time, AND they end up coming back.
If you can find milkweed, pluck off a leaf, smear the goo on the wart. Let it dry and don't wash it off for about 3 days. Wart should die.
DON'T DO THIS IF YOU ARE ALLERGIC TO LATEX.
@@nightshadewinter6915 You can try lanolin oil! There is also a hand cream called bloody knuckles, It contains lanolin oil and after having warts on my hands for years, I started using the hand cream and they went away. Lanolin oil is completely 100% painless and proven to get rid of warts, it doesn’t work for everyone though. But for me I can moisturize my hands while getting rid of warts at the same time
@@phredphlintstone6455 Thanks for mentioning the latex allergy. My Dr recommend this and ended up in the hospital from the most severe latex allergy they ever saw. I'm allergic to all tapes and most medications so should have known bad idea. I have to do natural products for everything even bathing. A lot of Drs don't believe in natural medicine, but sometimes works better. Kept my dad alive 6 years with a cancer that should have killed him in months. Even Chemo did not help him!
The duct tape wart thing - we did when my daughter was younger. But we were told to soak the wart area in the hottest water she could tolerate for 10-15 minutes, wipe it dry and apply the tape over the wart right away. We did this daily. Warts pretty much died and healed within 7-10 days.
Soaking with apple cider vinegar also kill warts but you need to repeat daily for few weeks. Much less painful than how doctor would remove.
In the hospital after giving birth, the nurse's station had a fridge with prune juice. But not regular commercial juice, but prunes that has been blended with water to make a lumpy prune-y drink. Sounds gross, actually delicious (especially nice and cold). As any woman who has had a baby knows, postpartum bowel movements can be terrifying. I highly recommend blended prunes postpartum!
I used to make a fruit paste with prunes, dried apricots, raisins and more boiled with apple juice and wizzed to a thin paste. Gave to to Friends with muesli etc if they had had babies to help them be regular haha. They all said it was very yummy.
Frozen prunes as a dessert in the summer are SO good! Especially in ice cream! It’s just so yummy. I also give my husband a bag of prunes after he gets home from the field when training in the army, since those MREs cause constipation.
Many nursing homes used to make a mixture with prunes, applesauce and bran flakes. Whiz it in a blender. We would give it to our residents who had bowel issues and it was very helpfull
what's bad about shiddin after birth, i'm a guy so i don't know these little hidden between the line things and am curious for my future
@@blackjesus8744 oh…so, you know where the vagina is? There is a bit of skin between that and the butt. That rips RIGHT open! And your abdominal muscles are sore and torn apart, so it’s a giant, gaping, bloody hole. I’m glad I’ve never had kids. Be VERY nice to your wife if she has your kid.
Another tea use: wound clotting!
When I got my wisdom teeth out, I was still bleeding a few hours later, and the surgeon recommended using warm damp green or black teabags to help with the clotting! It's because of the tannic acid that helps constrict the blood vessels, making the wound bleed less and clot faster!
I wish I'd known that when I got my wisdom teeth removed! The bleeding was the worst part for me.
I felt personally attacked when Peter Parker desolved as an illustration for the sugar :'''')

Doctor Mike I don't feel so good...
same🥲
Honey is good for burns as well. Here, they use it in burn units. Also, I believe sugar is good sealing open wounds, if you’re in a pickle.
FYI, the Duck Tape on warts works because the adhesive has polyvinyl alcohol in it, which when oxidizes, breaks down into acetic acid, basically vinegar. It's why apple cider vinegar works well too, but has to be changed more frequently once it dries. The adhesive properties of the polyvinyl alcohol makes for a slower conversion to acetic acid. Another fun fact, the dish and laundry pods encasements are made of polyvinyl alcohol so they break down in water. PVA has all kinds of cool uses.
Another cool use of PVA is as 3D printer filament! In the 3D printing world we often need "supports" to help print shapes that otherwise wouldn't be possible. Some printers can print in multiple filaments, so it's common for people to print the supports in PVA. Normally they are printed in the same plastic the rest of the part is, but removing it can be very difficult. With PVA you just soak the part in water for a bit and they come right off! I don't use it because I only have a single extruder machine, but it's one of my favorite 3D printing fun facts nonetheless!
Everyone always think I'm crazy when I tell them that the only way I can get my hiccups to go away is by eating a spoonful of sugar. Good to know I'm not insane.
Saaaame!
Another way to get rid of them that my choir teacher actually taught me (because some kid got hiccups in the middle of a performance) was to hold your breath and swallow 3 times sometimes you have to try a few times but if you don't have sugar on hand this works pretty well!!!
My mom had us eat a teaspoon of yellow mustard, she would tell us to hold it on our tongue for 1 minute before swallowing. It worked lol, but sugar would have tested better😂
I do love mustard though, lol.
@@amethystsky5091 my sister had her choir teacher say take a deep breath hold it for a couple seconds then let it all out all at once but it never worked for me
I wish my mom was alive to tell her there's science behind this. She's the one who introduced it to me. I get bad hiccups that last for hours and hurt.
I didn’t realize you could get a non synthetic melatonin supplement. I’m a thirty year RN and learn new things all the time from you Dr Mike. Thanks!
Nor me. I also was a nurse (I had to medically retire v early) we used to supply patients with probiotics if they were receiving antibiotic therapy.
Also putting salt on your tongue whenever u eat something spicy helps me feel like my tongue isn’t on fire anymore 😭 can’t say it’ll work for everyone but definitely helps me 😮💨
I am sending the most genuine thanks to you doctor uromi UA-cam channel for saving my life from genital herpes.

I've been using honey instead of cough medicine for years. I read somewhere that it worked as well, and I tried it and it worked WAY better than any cough medicine I've ever used before. It's awesome.
Honey + Ginger + Cinnamon is the way to go actually. A warm tea or warm milk drink will do wonders. Fun bonus fact, they now sell cough syrup with honey.
Honey is a thick substance; combine that with warm/hot tea ((not too hot)) for the soothing effect of the warmth on your swollen throat and voila. It won't cure it but it sure does take away a lot of the pain! Also alternating motrin and tylenol can help in moderation; motrin will help with swelling, tylenol for pain. This helps when you can't have honey on hand.
Should try Warm milk and honey which is so delicious but also helps calm down and soothe the throat
My advice is - add a handful of soft spring pine needles into it (and let it sit like that for few months) for extra nose cleaning. Alternatively, put pealed garlic cloves from 2 - 3 heads into a jar of honey, let it ferment for about 2 weeks (just let it bubble without crewing the lid on), then use that. I swer that it helped to clean my throat better than the over the counter stuff my doctor recommended
i get chronic hiccups, like maybe once a week or so, and it usually takes so long for them to go away, and i am so glad that sugar could actually work!!!
Try drinking some water in a glass with a paper towel covering the lid. Drinking through the paper towel is seams a little strange but it works.
Another honey use: helping a closed wound heal. I once had to have stiches and by the time we realized that they had melted prematurely, my wound was one the way to become a 1+ cm large scar. My doc told me to put honey on it so to help the healing process, and stop it from getting larger, and not only did it help the process in term of time, my scar thinned a bit!
Always talk to a doc first, but, yeah, it could be a good idea to stock on NON PASTEURIZED honey if you have an operation coming.
Also eating local honey is good for allergies. I live in Kentucky and I am allergic to ragweed, and goldenrod. Which is everywhere in Kentucky. It's also the state flower. But I have been eating a little bit of local honey every day and it has helped my allergies.
Yeah, honey and sugar are used for wound treatment, killing bacteria (which is ironic if there is a strain of bacteria that can live in honey).
I’ve used honey on a cold sore. It heals it SO much faster without any other intervention. Works every time!!
@@TorIverWilhelmsen refined white sugar for a bleeding wound that couldn't be clamped or compressed- dog's ear had a tip torn off. Full of vessels, can't bandage, nothing to sew. Dipped in copious white table sugar. Aids clotting, osmotic antibacterial when dry.
@IolaKamiko You should NEVER PUT NON-PASTEURIZED HONEY ON YOUR WOUNDS. Honey is known as a physiological desert, causing bacteria in it to shrivel and die because water is drawn out of them.... HOWEVER, some bacteria are capable of forming spores that can survive in honey. These spores are the very reason that infants and children under the age of 1 should not be given honey... they do not have the stomach environment capable of dealing with those spores, and the spores can re-activate causing severe illness. If you put non-pasteurized honey on your wounds, you are potentially creating the perfect conditions (anaerobic, moist, etc.) for an encapsulated bacterial spore to "Awaken" and become dangerous. Clostridium botulinum spores are known to inhabit raw honey, and directly putting them into a wound can make you seriously ill. I agree that honey can have healing properties (due to that physiological desert concept) but you should only ever put sterile, medical-grade honey on your wounds. These are pasteurized and heated to a point where bacterial spores are no longer viable.
Anyone gonna point out how Mike be over achieving, that was more than 10.

I learned that a pinch of salt instead of sugar is as effective in overcoming a hiccup. You only need a little amount dissolving on the tongue. I tested it multiple times and it worked very well. Definitely a good alternative for diabetics.
I get hiccups a far bit, I'll try to keep this in mind a give a try!
I had someone recommend a shot of lemon juice or pickle juice. The sour causes your epiglottis to contact and reset, it counteracts any problems with your stomach acid, and if your breath is irregular, it resets that too. I've had some success with it but not 100%

Dr.Mike: "Duct tape"
Me, now knowing that my dad is using it as a bandaid for his cuts from work and getting excited for no reason

Hey Doctor Mike!
I am from South Africa, and we have a type of succulent plant known as Vygie or Ice Plant. (Carpobrotus edulis)
As a child, I had warts on my hands and they were a problem for me. We heard that rubbing the warts with the juice of this plant helped it go away. It did! I felt like it was magic!
It also soothes the stings of blue bottles. Swimming in the Indian Ocean when a northerly wind is blowing can be a risky painful thing to do.
Not to mention, when ripe, the juice tastes gorgeous
We have ice plants here in the states too
In France we have the celandine (Chelidonium majus) wich is toxic
Thank you South Africa. I love hearing about natural remedies from other countries. 💕
I actually have delayed sleep phase. I saw a doctor and he told me to take melatonin. It was a life saver. Literally. I went from getting in bed at 10 and falling asleep between 4-6 am to getting in bed at ten and falling asleep at 11:30-12. I was suffering so much. Sleeping all day and struggling with constant fatigue. Now I can actually live my life to some degree
More people need to try blue blocker glasses for when the sun goes down.
Honey, Melatonin tablets, saline spray, Aloe Vera, and duct tape are all remedies I’ve used in my life.
Mike: I'm not talking about the drink tea when I say teabags.
What we're thinking about when he says teabags: The gaming sense of teabags.
Patient: “Teabaging relieving my stress, improving my confidence and annoys my friends.”
Dr: “what sweet tea your taking?”

I tried using melatonin once when I was going through insomnia problems, and I got trapped in a nightmare and couldn’t wake up. Needless to say I’d take lack of sleep over that any day!
me too causes me to have nightmares and hallucinate.
I get weird/ bad dreams too. Try cutting the dosage down. It may help.
Yeah I can’t take melatonin due to the dreams. It’s not worth it.
I once went from suffering from a recurring nightmare to having such severe insomnia that I wasn't even tired for over 30 hours and finally fell asleep after 40 hours. I have long believed that that was some kind of natural response to avoid the nightmare.
I’ve used melatonin many times when I suffered from insomnia without any problems.
This was an amazing video seeing an honest clear and transparent description of WHY natural medicine work and real perimeters for what it helps. Thank you I never felt that gut sink when people exagérâtes or leave out information I don’t ever always see this from other medical professionals.
My Great Great Grandma had a huge Aloe plant in her yard. I got second degree burns from soup falling on my during an earthquake.
My Grandma cut a huge aloe leaf..cooled it in the fridge. Cut off the spines and wrapped me in that huge leaf. That was 45 years ago. I have zero scares. I remember how soothing it was.

my parents never told me to drink soda when I had an upset stomach since the carbonation would actually make it worse. Instead, they carried around these little ginger hard candies. they tasted god awful but they helped whenever I felt nauseous so I recommend it. also, my mom said that a trick she learned when she was pregnant was to take a ginger root, boil it and sip the water to help with nausea.
I get an upset stomach from ginger so for me it is not an option.
@@ellalella1 So maybe it's a good idea for people to test it when they're feeling well?
Have you found a remedy that works for you?
@@FuzzyElf No, not really. Yes, it is good to test how sensitive you are when you feel perfectly fine.
For me, carbonated water works well for nausea. And sometimes, I drink soda if I was sick for a long time and need glucose. I never actually drank that as a kid, so I don't think there is some placebo effect from my parents telling me that it will work - I just once had nothing else to drink at home, so I tried it to hydrate myself and see if I can keep it down - result was that it actually helped with pain in my stomach. I have since recommended that to couple of people and they didnt feel worse after; some had no effect, some felt better.
But what I am ultimately saying is, that soda helps at least some people.
2:28 OH MY GOD!!!!! I've been telling my wife for YEARS that sugar helps with hiccups and she doesn't believe it so much she's not even willing to try. My grandpa taught me about it when I was a kid and I've sworn by it my whole life
Wow thanks for bringing up the delayed sleep-wake phase syndrome. My natural circadian rhythm has always been where I can’t sleep until 2-4 am and then I want to sleep all day. It has caused me issues my entire life and my doctor said it’s just because I need to fix my sleep schedule and get in the habit of waking up early but working 8-5 Monday-Friday has never helped I just am constantly fighting my natural circadian rhythm and when I fail I just end up running on no sleep sometimes for days on end.
I'm the same and I honestly just thought I had insomnia
Especially during the lockdown I noticed that my natural sleep cycle was basically from 23:00-3:00 and then again from 6:00-10:00 which sadly is hardly compatible with having a Job from 8:00-17:00. But after I got into that rhythm after a week or two I started to get curious and learned that Humans apparently naturally have a biphasic sleep cycle and that's just how it's supposed to be.
I didn't have an issue with waking up late in the day though, so I guess it's different from the conditions of other people but if possible I'd give this kind of schedule a try, maybe by setting an alarm if you need one, if you life allows it.
same!! except ive pushed it off for years and still do bc im just like well im most likely just addicted to my phone but...im pretty sure that has led to it or worsened it lmao. also, ppl say disorders become a problem when it affects ur day to day life but i just tell myself bc i technically CAN push myself to stay awake for 24hrs+ it doesnt rly affect me but then i realise the fact i even have to do that is...well... probably me being affected😅
I am the same. I use melatonin now and it works well for me. I can now go to bed at 11-12 instead of 2-4. I am even starting to be able to push my bedtime to 10-10.30 sometimes and that wasn't even possible for me at age 6 so it is pretty cool. It won't work for everyone but if it works, it is great.
Aloe worked to an extent for a bad sunburn I had on my legs, however when I switched to aquaphor I found much more relief because the moisturizing properties stuck around a lot longer than the aloe vera.

My son got a wart on the bottom of his foot when he was little. The duct tape trick worked like a dream for him. Also, duct tape is great for removing tiny splinters that are too small to see to remove with tweezers.
yes!! apple cider vinegar and duct tape were able to get 7 plantar warts out of my toe that i had from dance
When I was little I used to get warts on my hands and feet, I'm guessing probably from gymnastics class. I had to get some of them frozen off. I thought it was really cool and sciencey that such a thing could work, and thinking about how interesting it was made it easier to ignore the momentary discomfort. But it might have been considerably more convenient if we knew about the duct tape thing at the time.
Not duct tape, Flex Tape® MAX
.
I had a wart on my foot when I was like 14. That wasnt the most painful thing of my life but good God it was up there. I was cleaning out all the dead skin and everything and I tore out the core of the wart and it hurt like no other and it bled like a gun shot. I ended up putting a clean paper towl on it and I taped the paper towl to my foot and it stopped bleeding eventuslly but holy lord was it painful
When I was 12 and had a wart I had cryotherapy and it was PAINFUL. Wish I had seen this back then.
I tried the duct tape and it didn't work for me, so you might still have had to do that.
A went to cryotherapy at a that age too but don't remember it being painful, just a bit uncomfortable.
I just heat up metal rod with a lighter and press it on my skin......the wart or any skin bumps go away after the treatment...sometimes it required more than one treatment....the pain isnt that bad tbf if you just think that the pain wont actually kill you and it's just on the skin......it would cause blister and the blister will pop after sometime and leave some scar....but tbf, i'd rather have the small scar instead of the bumps which wont go away...some of the scars go away on its own after some time...
