School is back in full swing, which means kids are learning to share everything with their classmates...including germs.  If you are the proud parent of a school-age child, these remedies may help you.  If stomach bugs haven't made their way into your house, you may need the bottom list after joining the class for the first field trip of the year. 

Dee Dee Helbig of Ava Bella Day Spa joined us Friday to share these ways to help your aches with thing many people already have in their house.  

Tummy ache home remedies:

• Yogurt - (any type) Yogurt contains bacteria the stomach is lacking while it is upset.
• A teaspoon of vinegar - (any will do)  The vinegar is acidic which helps the belly calm down.
• Mustard on a piece of bread - The mustard is also acidic.
• Get an old sock, without any holes in it, and fill it with uncooked rice. Put the rice filled sock in the microwave for about a minute. Make sure it's warm to the touch. Place the sock on the area it hurts. The heat will help relax the muscles, which gives temporary relief to the tummy.
• A hair dryer - Turn on the hair dryer and position the hot air to blow on the affected area. Don't burn yourself!

Headaches home remedies:

• Eat an apple (including the skin) - An apple has natural aspirin in it.
• Fish oil – You can either eat fish or take a fish oil pill.
• Peppermint tea - Sip the tea and apply the tea bags where you have the headache. The peppermint has a cooling effect.
• If you can stomach it, drink 2 full caps of apple cider vinegar with one glass of water.
• Eat/drink anything with caffeine in it.
