Having wounds is the norm when you have little kids who always mischievously jump from one corner to another, and applying medications on a daily basis is not all healthy every day. This is when sugar comes along to the rescue!

According to studies, sprinkling sugar on ulcers or bedsores before cleaning will kill the bacteria that prevent healing. To survive, the bacteria would need moisture and sugar can drain the water from the wound.

By the way, the sugar wound healing can work its power on bee stings and bug bites, too!

#2 – Cooling a burning tongue

Sometimes, we are just too hungry to wait for things to cool down, and we pay the price by having our tongues burned. How many times a hot tea burned your tongue? Or an extremely hot slice of pizza?

But if you have sugar at your kitchen’s counter then that’s fine. Just suck on a sugar cube or a pinch of sugar to relieve the sting. And before you know it, you will be able to taste your food again and not feel that burning sensation –until you burn it again.

But hey, you know about the sugar healing powers now!

Did you know that sugar is one of the greatest agents to exfoliate your body? To create the sugar scrub paste, mix sugar with oil, preferably almond, coconut, olive, or jojoba oil.

You can add your favorite essential oils, but it is optional. Then while taking a shower, rub it all over your skin and then rinse it off.

You can also mix 3 tbsp of sugar with a very ripe banana and 1 tsp of olive oil to scrub your body and to give your skin the glow and softness it deserves.

#4 – The garden pests

Anyone who takes care of their garden knows that finding unsightly knots at the roots of the plants is very predictable, and it is bad because the plant could fall prey to nematodes.

To naturally fight them, you should sprinkle the plants and surrounded soil with handfuls of sugar. The latter will be the food for microorganisms, and that will increase the organic matter and create an unfriendly environment for the nematodes.

#5 – Trap wasps

If you also don’t like wasps and you struggle to get them out of your home, then sugar can be your savior from the extremely painful stings.

Simply, create the sugar syrup by mixing one part water and two parts sugar then let it boil. After it cools down, pour the mixture into a jar and place it outside.

The smell will attract the wasps and the stickiness will trap them. The only thing you need to figure out now is a way to get rid of the wasps that are now trapped in your garden!
