*1. If your throat tickles, scratch your ear.*
You can try clearing your throat, but that won't make that tickle feeling
pass. Here's a better way of dealing with tickels in your throat: "When the
nerves in the ear are activated, it creates a reflex-life reaction in the
throat that can cause a muscle twitch", says Dr. Scott Shefer, head of the
ear, nose and throat ward at a New Jeresy Hospital. "These twitches ease
the tickling sensation." You heard it - Just scratch your ear!

*2. Super Hearing?*
If you happen to meet an old friend at a noisy place and you start
chatting, it's better to turn the right ear towards the person, as it is
better at tracking active talking, according to researchers from the
University of California medical school. On the other hand, if you're
trying to identify which song is playing, it's better to use the left ear.
This is because the different hemispheres of the brain are better at
different things.
*3. Can sexual thoughts be used as a tool?*
When you really need to pee and can't, says Dr. Lary Lipsholtz, think about
sex. Thinking about sex occupies your mind and body and will stop you from
feeling the discomfort of having to pee.

*4. Reduce Temporary Pain*
German researches found that coughing while getting an injection diminishes
the pain. According to the head researcher of this experiment, the cough
caused a temporary increase of pressure inside the chest and spine, which
depresses the pain conductors of the spinal cord. In other words, coughing
reduces the amount of pain signals your brain gets, and so you feel less
pain.

*5. Clearing a stuffed nose*
Put aside your pills and drops. An easier, faster and cheaper way to
relieve that pressure on your sinuses, is to push the tongue against the
roof of your mouth, and then flicking a finger in the area between your
eyebrows. As weird as that may seem, this motion causes the bone of the
nose, connected through the nasal passageways to the mouth, to rock back
and forth. This movement releases the stuffing in your throat, and after
about 20 seconds, you'll feel your sinuses start to cleanse.
*6. Fighting the fire in your stomach without water*
Are you worried the chicken wings you're eating now will burn you at night?
"Sleep on your left side" Says Dr. Anthony, professor of gastroenterology.
Research has shown that people who sleep on their left side suffer less
from acidic stomachs. The esophagus and the stomach are tied in an angle.
When you lay on your right side, the stomach is higher than the esophagus,
which lets the acid in the stomach go up to the throat. When you lay on
your left side, the stomach is lower, so gravity works for you.
*7. Cure your toothache without opening your mouth*

*7. Cure your toothache without opening your mouth*
Rub ice on the back of your hand, on the area between your thumb and your
index finger. Research conducted in Canada found that this technique
reduces your toothache by about 50%. The neural pathway that is at the
center of that *V* awakens an area in the brain that blocks the pain from
the face.

*8. Erasing burn marks*
When you burn your fingers on the stove, instead of using ice - clean the
skin and apply light pressure using the soft part of the fingers of the
unburned hand. "The ice will elevate your pain faster," Says Dr. Destefano,
"But this natural method returns the skin that burnt to a normal
temperature, so the risk of blisters is reduced."

*9. Unfreeze your brain*
Did you drink something too cold, too fast, and now you feel as if your
brain froze? You may get a headache later on, or you can take your tongue and
brain froze? You may get a headache later on, or you can take your tongue and
stick it to the roof of your mouth. Since the nerves at the roof of your
mouth suddenly froze, your body thinks your brain is freezing, as
compensation, it overheats, which causes a strong headache. The stronger
you push your tongue against the roof of your mouth, the faster the
headache will pass.
*10. Return your heart to normal beating*

*10. Return your heart to normal beating*
Are you trying to relax a stampeding heart? Blow on your thumb! "The
errant nerve that regulates heart beat can be controlled by breathing,"
Says Ben Abu, an emergency medicine specialist. This is a way to return the
heart to normal beating.
