Here you can find odd food remedies that may cure what you are suffering from.
Acne:
Heinz white vinegar-- Mix equal parts of Heinz white vinegar and water, and use a cotton ball to clean your face with the solution, to readjust your skin to the proper pH.**
Quaker Oats-- Make a bowl of oatmeal according to the directions on the back of the box, let it cool, and apply the oatmeal to your face. Cover with a washcloth dampened with warm water. Let sit for 15 minutes, then wash and clean it up. Repeat daily for one week, or whenever acne flares. Oatmeal is a natural astringent that dries the skin.**
Asthma:
Coca-cola-- If you feel the onset of an asthma attack and you don't have your inhaler with you, drink two cans of coke. The caffeine helps thwart an asthma attack in an emergency until you can get to your medicine or inhaler.**
Tabasco Pepper Sauce and Campbell's tomato juice-- Mix 10-20 drops of tabasco pepper sauce in a glass of Campbell's tomato juice. Drink several of these decongestant tonics daily to help relieve congestion in the nose, sinuses, and lungs.**

Bruises:

Chapped Lips:
Gatorade-- Keeping your body well hydrated keeps your lips naturally moist, giving your chapped lips the moisture they need to heal themselves.**
Colds:
Altoids Peppermints-- Chewing 2 altoids peppermints helps clear up a stuffy nose. Peppermint relieves congestion. Also try eating York Peppermint patties.**

MOTT'S Applesauce-- When you can eat, applesauce is a great starter food the body can easily digest.**
Popsicle-- Eating a nice cold popsicle brings instant relief to a sore throat and the sugars help coat the throat and give you energy.**
