1 Bananas
Bananas are ideal for curing a hangover. They are packed with potassium, a mineral we lose when we drink alcohol. Potassium controls the balance of fluids in our bodies – so the dehydrated feeling we get when the morning after is partly causes by a lack of potassium

2 Horseradish
It can help with blocked sinuses. It contains chemicals that can thin mucus and help clear it from sinuses. You can grate some fresh horseradish or take a spoonful from a jar and inhale it.

3 Chillies
They can ease joint pain. Twisted your ankle or simply experiencing some joint pain? Grind some chillies into a paste the add to a base cream or oil and apply to the affected area. The capsicum in chillies first increases the pain then blocks it, thereby effectively stopping the pain signal to the brain
