I'm going through my kitchen right now to see what organic body products I can come up with. My eyes are really tired so I cut two slices of fresh cucumber and press over each eye. Boy is that refreshing!

Chamomile in natural herb form or in tea bags is a great natural medicine Once, I suffered from eye secretion. I headed straight for the kitchen and found chamomile as a herbal supplement. I immersed chamomile tea bags in boiling water, let them cool, applied one to each eye, (never use the same tea bag on both eyes so as not to re-infect), and finally gently wiped the secretion brushing from the inner corner of the eye towards the outer . After a couple of applications of this home remedy the secretion was completely cleared up!

Chamomile is also great for removing pus from pimples. Peering into the mirror, my daughter wailed, "Oh, mom, I have this horrible pussy pimple on my face." No problem. After pressing a chamomile tea bag that had been immersed in boiling water to the pimple a couple of times, voilè , the pimple burst and out came the pus to be wiped away with a ball of sterile cotton batten.

And how's about avocado? I scoop this home cure and beauty treatment out of its peel, mash it up, and gently rub it on my face and around my fingernails for softness and skin nourishment.

Natural medicines, home cures, and beauty aids are definitely my idea of fun and economical too!
