Natural Hygiene For Better Health with Colon Cleanses

Natural Hygiene For Better Health with Colon Cleanses

Why Am I Writing About Colon Cleanses on The Frugal Pig?

Yeah, I know they are nasty to think about, and you may think they belong in a natural remedies website, and not a frugal living website like this one. However, I myself, have had some good experiences by using a natural colon cleanse supplement, especially when I felt I was about to come down with something. In the winter, when I feel a scratchy throat or cold coming on, I take a colon cleanse supplement, and the problem usually resolves itself by the next morning.

Summer Sun Means Sunburns

As sure as April showers bring May flowers, the summer sun brings sunburns. Oh, of course we should use sunscreen and avoid prolonged exposure to the sun. But we do not want to pass up a day at the beach or neighborhood pool for the fun and exercise. Despite our best efforts to protect our skin, we do suffer a burn once in awhile.

Homemade Sunburn Relief

We all know about aloe, and if you have a plant at home that is great. You can also buy preparations with aloe in them. However, this wonderful, cooling preparation can be taken right out of the fridge without buying a specially made sunburn gel or growing any plants!

Cheap Health Insurance — Oxymoron?

Can You Pinch Pennies On Health Insurance?

Well, if you live in the US, and need to obtain an individual health insurance policy, it make seem impossible to find cheep health insurance. In fact, this website calls it cheep health insurance! But we actually have some very valid tips. First, look at the deductible. Raising the deductible is one of the surest ways to reduce the premium. The difference between a $1k yearly deductible and a $5k deductible can be hundreds of dollars a year. An HSA account, which allows you to earn interest in a savings account that can be used to meet the deductble and copays, and which also has tax advantages, can be a great step towards frugal health insurance!
