You can use raisins to ease the symptoms of arthritis! It\u2019s very simple \u2013 you just have to soak golden raisins overnight in a couple of spoonful of gin.

Many of these vitamins and minerals are great for hair growth and hair maintenance. How this works \u2013 well, our hair is mostly made up of proteins so it\u2019s no wonder nettle leaves can help keep it strong, luxurious, and on our heads! Here\u2019s what you need to do \u2013 first, you bring a water to boil (1 cup). Then, you need to put 4-6 nettle leaves in a mug, pour the hot water over, and enjoy! Nettle leaves are high in silica which can be harmful at high doses, so don\u2019t consume high amounts!<\/p>\n<ol start=\"5\">\n<li><strong>Yams for Menopause<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>Yams are high in vitamin C, contain some vitamin A which will help balance out your hormones and tons of dietary fiber which will help lower cholesterol!<\/p>\n<ol start=\"6\">\n<li><strong>Olives for Motion Sickness<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>How this works \u2013 well, olives are high in tannins, which can help stop the production of too much saliva.

The baking soda actually annoys the infection and makes your bladder more alkaline which prevents the harmful bacteria from multiplying. But, if the symptoms are consistent or extremely painful, then you should see your doctor immediately.<\/p>\n<ol start=\"8\">\n<li><strong>Dried Apricots for Indigestion<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>You should know that dried apricots are super high in dietary fiber which helps your stomach digest its food and prevents bloating.
