DO YOU KNOW WHAT'S IN YOUR CABINET? HYDROGEN PEROXIDE!!!

Hey guys,

One of the most common household disinfectants is hydrogen peroxide, or chemically speaking, H2O2.

I am pretty sure that we all have a bottle of it in your medicine cabinet.

However, many of us know the medical use of hydrogen peroxide, but alot of people don't even know that there are tons of other ways you can use this disinfectant in your home?

So let's start with General Health.

General health 

For Sinus infection:
Add a tablespoon of 3% hydrogen peroxide to water, and you have a solution for your sinus infections.

For Cleaning and healing wounds: These are one of the most common use of hydrogen peroxide.
You need the same 3% solution that you used for the sinus infection. Apply it to the affected area to get rid of acne and boils. 

For treating acne:
While you are healing wounds, you can also treat acne, speeding up the healing process by applying the 3% solution to the infected area.

Fight foot fungus:
By using a solution of equal parts of water and hydrogen peroxide.

Bad Breath:
If you cannot get rid of bad breath by brushing your teeth, you can always use mouthwash made out of hydrogen peroxide, as the solution kills the bacteria and unhealthy organisms in your mouth that cause the bad breath.

Tooth decay:
Toothache is another mouth condition that hydrogen peroxide can help with. Gargle few minutes with the solution in your mouth.

Common Cold:
Some people use hydrogen peroxide to relieve cold symptoms by dropping it in the ear.

Ear Infections:
Well, the same treatment can be used for treating ear infections.
Speaking of it, you can mix hydrogen peroxide and vinegar to prevent “swimmer’s ear”, or ear infections after swimming.

Yeast Infection:
As mentioned previously, the solution kills bacteria, and if you didn’t know by now, yeast infections are caused by bacteria and fungus.

In the Kitchen

* Clean your countertop and cutting board by adding hydrogen peroxide to a spray bottle. Spray on the surface you want to clean, wait few minutes for the solution to kill and bubble away some nasty stains and bacteria, and then wipe with cloth.

* Clean your refrigerator and dishwasher with a similar approach. Since hydrogen peroxide is not toxic, you can use it for places where you store food. Just spray the surfaces, and after few minutes, clean it with a cloth.

* Remove baked crud from pans by combining hydrogen peroxide and baking soda. Prepare a paste, and then rub the paste onto the dirty pots and pans. Let it stay for a while, and scrub it off with a sponge and warm water.

* You can also clean your sponges with hydrogen peroxide, by soaking them in a mixture of equal parts of water and hydrogen peroxide for 10 minutes.

* Keep your salad fresh by combining half a cup of water with one tablespoon of food-grade hydrogen peroxide. Spray the mixture on the salad, and it can stay good for more than just one night.

In the House

* Clean your mirrors by spraying hydrogen peroxide on the mirrors, and wipe it down after few minutes with a paper towel.

*Any of us just hate to clean your toilet bowl, but with hydrogen peroxide, it is extremely easy. Let it stand inside for twenty minutes, and then scrub with toilet brush. Flush, and that is it!

* Your tiles are another area you can clean by using hydrogen peroxide. For this solution, you need hydrogen peroxide and flour. Apply the paste to the tiles, cover it with a plastic wrap, and let it stay overnight. Rinse your tiles the next morning.

Beauty Treatments

* Teeth Whitening:
The same way you use hydrogen peroxide for toothache, you can use it to whiten your teeth. It is a triple effect, with both health and beauty benefits. You can treat toothache, get rid of bad breath, and whiten your teeth in the same time.
Since hydrogen peroxide kills bacteria, you can effectively use it as a deodorant as well.
Just mix a solution of 1:2 ratio with hydrogen peroxide and dish soap, leave it for 30 minutes under your armpits, and then rinse it off.

* Natural Bleach:
Hydrogen peroxide is a natural bleacher, so it can also be used to whiten your nails, the same way you use it to whiten your hair or teeth. Simply soak cotton balls in hydrogen peroxide and dab them onto your nails. If you want that perfectly graduated light hair, use hydrogen peroxide by mixing equal parts of the disinfectant and water. Spray the solution into your hair, and distribute it evenly with the use of a comb. You can also bleach your entire hair if you want, but remember to be gentle.

*Softener of corns and calluses: Another great hydrogen peroxide use is for softening corns and calluses, by mixing equal parts with water and soaking your feet into it.

* Removing Earwax:
I mentioned you can use hydrogen peroxide for ear infections, but also for removing ear wax and make your ears visually appealing. Put some drops of the solution into your ears, and clean them after two minutes with wipe cloth.

Other uses include:

* Pets:
Hydrogen peroxide can be used as first aid for pets when they get into something toxic. Quick dose of the solution will induce vomiting and your pet’s life will be saved.
Also can be used to prevent fungus growth in your aquarium.

* Some of us have small children that we send to school with a lunch box. You can keep that lunch box sanitary by periodically wiping with hydrogen peroxide.You can also clean your toddler’s toys and keep them sanitary as well.

* If you have odors in your light-colored clothes, you can easily get them off by washing your clothes in a mixture of white vinegar and hydrogen peroxide.

Meaning of Aura Colors

Here's a brief look into the meaning of aura colors of different variations, for those of you who are deeply interested in these theories.

Ever noticed how you feel when someone walks into a room? Good, bad, uncomfortable? Some may call it vibes, others may call it aura, but both are something one exudes naturally.

Not everyone knows how to see auras, though over time, some have mastered the art of naturally seeing them with years of practice. Normally, auras can be seen only after using specific photography equipment designed to capture this radiation around a person in a photograph. Different people exude different colors. What does your aura color mean? 

Aura Colors and What They Mean

Aura colors are not always permanent. The color one may emit today and the one after a few days may not always be the same. Auras are radiated based on a person's personality, their physical health, as well as their current state of mind. For instance, an angry person may depict a murky red aura. However, if he/she is working to curb the anger by means of meditation or any other techniques, over time there may be a noticeable change.
