			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Bites from mosquitos, fleas and other insects usually cause itching . Scratching the itching area usually aggravates the problem and can cause scars.</p>
<p>Some home remedies for this problem are:<br />
1. Aloe vera for soothing the skin. If you grow aloe vera at home, you can use the juice from the  leaf, else you can use aloe vera gel.</p>
<p>2. Rub an ice cube over the affected area. The skin will become numb for some time, so the itching will reduce.</p>
<p>3. Make a paste of baking soda and water. Applying it on the bug bites can bring some relief.</p>
<p>4. Rub alcohol on the skin helps as it has a cooling effect. Similarly using a shaving cream is effective, as the menthol in it has a similar effect.</p>
<p>5. A mixture of vinegar and a little salt can be applied to the affected area.</p>
<p>6. Apply tea tree oil with a cotton ball to the skin.</p>
<p>7. Directly applying salt on the bite may be painful for some time, but has a long term effect.</p>
<p>8. Rubbing toothpaste on the skin brings quick relief.</p>
<p>9. Applying calamine lotion to the skin also helps.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Lack of sleep can affect both the mental and physical health of a person and sleep pills some times have side effects.  However, many people have found   home remedies to be very effective for  treating insomnia, some of which are listed below:</p>
<p>1. Have a cup of hot tea, or hot chocolate, or warm milk before going to bed.</p>
<p>2. Rice and Turkey contain melatonin , a natural sleeping aid. As you grow older, the melatonin produced by the brain decreases, so persons above 30 some times find it difficult to fall asleep.<br />
Include rice or turkey in your meals at least a few times in a week.<br />
If this is not possible, melatonin can be purchased from a pharmacy.</p>
<p>3. Aromatherapy using essential oils like Lavender helps. They have a soothing effect on the brain and help you doze off.</p>
<p>4. Read a boring book or user manual, so that you are mentally relaxed</p>
<p>5. Make a list of all the things that are worrying you, all pending activities. Many times, stress can cause insomnia as you try not to forget the work to be done, so making a list of pending work may help.</p>
<p>6. Try to exercise or play a game earlier in the day, so that you are tired at night and fall asleep quickly.</p>

<p>1. Place cucumber slices over the dark circles for 10-15 minutes regularly</p>
<p>2. Cotton pad soaked in milk and placed over the dark circles for a few minutes</p>
<p>3. Place potato slices over the dark circles for 10-15 minutes and relax. Then wash off the area with water. Fresh potatoes can be mashed into a paste, and the paste applied to the dark circles.

<p>Boil water in a vessel</p>
<p>Take the boiled hot water in a bowl</p>
<p>Tea tree oil may be added to the water, but it is optional</p>
<p>Put your face, especially the area with a lot of blackheads over the bowl, so that the hot steam hits your face</p>
<p>Keep your face in the same position, so the pores open due to the heat</p>
<p>The blackheads will rise to the surface and fall off or can be easily removed<br />
Wash your face again with cold water, so that the pores shrink again</p>
<p>Ensure that your hands are clean when you touch your face, so that no dirt enters your pores which could cause pimples at a later date.</p>
