TASTY TOOTH CARE
A healthy mouth doesn’t have
to be minty fresh: research from
India suggests clove oil fights
cavities. A compound called
eugenol (plus oleic acid and
lipids) might deserve the credit.
Look for a cinnamon clove
mouthwash in your health store.HANDY PAIN RELIEF
The next time you feel achy,
have your partner rub your body
down tenderly – works for us.
Slow, gentle stroking may help
reduce pain signals to the brain,
Swedish research suggests. It
activates special nerves in skin
that transmit pleasant sensations.A BITTER PILL
A prescription for allergies
could cause more trouble than
it’s worth. Corticosteroids like
prednisone may up your risk of
a bone fracture, blood clot or
serious infection, a BMJ study
found. Ask your doctor for
alternative remedies.Stiff Hips

You may overcompensate for
stiffness by rotating from your
