Say Goodbye to Fatigue Right Away
People have used aluminum foil to eliminate fatigue for many years now and this practice has been supported by many experts. In order to use this foil for this purpose, you should put a few strips of it in the freezer and leaved them there for at least three hours.
After that, you should put them on the face (make sure that the eyelids or the cheeks are covered) and leave them like that till you notice that the area is relaxed.
When you remove the foil, you will see that the signs of insomnia and fatigue are eliminated.
Ease The Pain in Your Joints
