7. Eliminate puffiness under your eyes..... All you need is a dab of
preparation H, carefully rubbed into the skin, avoiding the
eyes. The hemorrhoid ointment acts as a
vasoconstrictor, relieving the swelling instantly
21. Quaker Oats for fast pain relief.... It's not for
breakfast anymore!
Mix 2 cups of Quaker Oats and 1 cup of water in a bowl and warm in
the microwave for 1 minute, cool slightly, and apply the mixture to
your hands for soothing relief from arthritis pain.

I can back up these two...
As for the oatmeal,  I have the beginnings of rhematoid arthritis (I'm only in my 20s, not quite fair). The general idea is moist heat. My mom taught me to wet a dish towel or wash cloth, put it in the microwave for about a minute or so and wrap it around my hand. Moist heat.
I was pretty disgusted when my friend told me to put preparation H under my eyes because they were puffy from crying all night (long story lol) but I had to go out so I was pretty desperate. Works great, shrinks puffy eyes just like hemorroids  LOL
