Treat toothache
Sesame seeds contain natural pain-relieving compounds. Soak four teaspoons in boiling water and when the mixture’s cooled, apply it around the painful area.
Brighten your eyes
Camomile tea has natural anti-inflammatory agents. Make a mug of it with boiling water and add a little salt. When cool, soak two cotton pads in the tea and relax with them over your eyes.
Soothe skin
Olive oil is a multi-purpose moisturiser, packed with skin-nourishing vitamin E. Rub it onto flaky patches on your face, chapped lips, dry heels or rough elbows.
