Belly aches, which are not associated with flatulence, can be reduced with the use of peppermint. Even sucking on a hand peppermint candy can eliminate some belly aches. That s not all bad, usually after expelling the offending contents, the patient will feel better. But, remember, belly aches that do not go away, should be taken seriously. Contact a physician if symptoms persist or worsen.
Canker sores occur in the mouth.
These ulcer-type sores are quite painful. One remedy that appears to work is to dab salt on the sore. It hurts like the devil for a minute, but, for whatever reason, the sore usually clears up immediately. If you can t bring yourself to put salt directly on the sore, gargle with saltwater. Again, as with any medical condition that does not readily go away, it is advisable to obtain professional medical assistance from a physician.
