Garlic
The antibacterial, antiviral and antifungal properties of garlic make it an amazing healing agent. Be it oral cavities or internal parasites, ear infections or arthritic pain, garlic fights them all. Garlic is more beneficial if consumed raw, because when roasted or overcooked it may lose its medicinal value. Applying some warm garlic oil gently on aching joints or muscles helps relieve the pain. It can also help in relieving toothache by applying a paste made from some crushed garlic and a pinch of salt.
Turmeric
Turmeric is rich in Curcumin, which helps ease chronic pain. It also consists of anti-inflammatory properties that help in alleviating joint and muscular pain and bring down swelling. The antioxidant, antibacterial, antifungal, antiviral and anti-carcinogenic properties of turmeric make it a perfect addition for meals to increase your health quotient. Turmeric paste made by mixing equal amounts of turmeric and aloe vera gel work wonders when applied directly over itchy skin patches, bites and poison ivy-affected areas. For healing mouth ulcers, apply a pinch of turmeric mixed in one tablespoon of water and half a tablespoon of coconut oil.
