They really do work!

1. SOOTHE A SORE THROAT

A sore throat commands plenty of hot tea and honey, but there are plenty of other things you can do for lasting results. For one, gargle a saline solution (half a cup of hot water with a tablespoon of sea salt) every few hours to kill harmful bacteria.

2. CALM YOUR NERVES

In time of intense stress, splash ice-cold water on your face as your hold your breath.

The cold will trigger the “mammalian diving reflex”, which optimizes the way your body uses oxygen, making you feel invigorated. Plus, getting a chill contracts your muscles; as they heat back up, your muscles will relax and you’ll feel instantly more calm.

3. FIGHT YOUR FEAR OF NEEDLES

To make it through your next blood test, simply cough as the nurse inserts the needle. You might want to let her know that you’re going to do this beforehand, just to make sure she doesn’t miss her target!

Coughing will distract you from the sensation of the needle, so you’ll never have to be afraid again.

4. CLEAR STUFFY NOSE

When your nose is stuffy, it’s hard to focus on any other sensation.
To clear up the congestion, just press your tongue flat on the roof of your mouth, and apply pressure between your eyebrows using your tongue. Hold for 20 seconds, and release.
