Those air fresheners in the store look amazing don’t they?  The emerald green rain forest, the raging water falls, the endless valleys of lavender; they certainly do a good job of capturing your attention. 

 

While the pictures on the outside of the can may be great, the chemicals on the inside of the can?  Ehhh, not so great.  More often than not, store bought air fresheners are full of propellants, solvents, and other chemicals.

Homemade Rust Remover

Rust, rust, rust.  Rust on the car, rust around the faucet in your home.  If there’s one statement that’s tried and true it’s this, “If it can rust, it will rust.”  Rust can be annoying when it eventually and inevitably pops up somewhere around your home. 

The good news is after you finish using these natural rust removal methods, rust won’t be a bother to you no matter when it starts to appear.

 

Let’s breakdown a little bit of the science shall we?  What is rust? Rust is an iron oxide that is the lovechild of iron and oxygen when they react with each other in the presence of water.  So basically, unless you remove all of the oxygen, or all of the water in your home, it will be next to impossible to completely stop rust from occurring.  That being said, with a little effort, you can easily remove rust once you spot it.

 

Here are a couple simple and easy ways to remove rust that don’t involve a lot of ingredients or mixing.  Matter of fact, the first method I’m going to show you only has one ingredient. 

The second method, which is by far the most unique one, is called the Margarita Method, you’ll see why in a bit.

Home Remedy – a medicine made with ingredients available at home.  

It may sound simple, but for anyone who’s tried to make a poultice at home to relieve some aches, knows it can get really complicated.

That’s why I put together a short and sweet list of the best books and resources to read if you’re looking to learn more about home remedies.  Trial and error is going to be a part of the learning process, but you never want to make too many errors when it comes to your health.  The following references will give you a strong fundamental understanding of the natural vitamins, minerals, and herbs that go into home remedies and they will show you how to make and use the remedies correctly.

 

I’ll start out with the #1 book on my list, and one that I have been referencing for years:

 

 

 

 

 

Prescription for Nutritional Healing by Phyllis A. Balch CNC  

In almost every vitamin store I’ve ever gone to, I’ve seen this book, and for good reason.  It has almost every supplement you could possibly think about using. It includes detailed explanations about each supplement, how it works, and what disease processes it works best on.  Before you start mixing and making remedies, this is a great place to start to understand the basics behind natural medicine.  You can read it cover to cover or use it as a great resource to learn more about a particular vitamin, mineral, or herb.
