I always go for the natural remedies myself! Here is some tried and tested recipes from Bulgaria: Hangover - drink some sauerkraut juice (sounds horrible, but it's not that bad) or a big glass of ayran (a traditional Bulgarian drink, made by mixing COLD yoghurt with water and (sometimes) salt, very refreshing in hot summer days) - these always help! Headache - Put some mint oil on your fingertips and gently press and rub the temples of your head for a minute. Be careful not to touch your eyes - the mint oil will make you cry! (very effective, especially for stress-related headaches, or the ones caused by too many hours in front of the PC screen) Bug and mosquito bites - rub some mint oil on them! It will stop the itching for a while. Wasp bites - press a peeled clove of garlic to it! It takes away the pain. Oh, and egg whites are really great for burns, as you've mentioned! When my husband was 2, he poured a pan of hot oil on his head. The only thing that saved him from scarring, was a carton of fresh eggs his dad smashed on his head! Great piece, Gabriela!

I find when I sick with a cold/flu ginger tea helps a lot. I just peel some ginger root, steep it in boiling water and drink like 5+ cups a day and I start feeling better immediately. I usually add a bit of honey to sweeten it up. And my personal rememdy for hangovers - drink lots and lots of water. The morning/afternoon/evening after (when I can handle food) I head to Taco Bell and get a chicken burrito (loaded with hot sauce), fries supreme and a root beer. Never fails... for me at least.
