Do you use home remedies?

Yes, i still do. Our government has cited 10 approved herbal medicine as a way of promoting alternative medicine. One is garlic for lowering high blood pressure.

I don't see why home remedies should be any less effective than ones sold in a chemist, since they have been tired 7 tested throuhgout generations. I do like to drink peppermint tea for indigestion, and i also take garlic capsules to boost my immune system and lower my blood pressure. I also like to sue essential oils, lavender is useful to put on a burn, tea tree is good at disinfecting cuts, citronella is a good insect repellant, and eucalyptus is good for coughs and colds.

Yes, several of them. Dried herbal potions and teas.And some traditional cures from my granny`s time.

Home remedies are tried and true and they are passed down from generation to generation. If they didn't work I don't think they would have made it thus far, being passed down by so many generations. I love them. I still use the ones my grandmother passed down to us. I even did research and found more from my great grandparents and others. They are awesome. Many of the traditional remedies I use in our family are passed down from the Cherokee Nation. Indian remedies like getting stung by an ant or wasp - chew up the leaves of an elm and apply the chewed up leaves to the sting - the sting goes away instantly. Yarrow tea is a favorite of mine - it is a good cleanser, diaretic, and helps the mind stay focused - much like St. John's Wart. Potato poltice is great too for a sprain ankle or to remove swelling. There are so many. Eucalyptus is soothing when boiled and kept steeping on the stove. So is a pot of citrus skins mixed with cinnamon. Gosh, I didn't realize I use so many. I could go on and on.

Yes. The elder women in my life were all Queens of the Home Remedy. I learned many that I still use today-and have passed on to my adult daughters. Cloves are good for toothache also. An eardrop solution made with peroxide/water for earache. A teaspoon of sugar and bourbon for menstrual cramps. A mixture of soda/vinegar/sugar/water for indigestion. Believe it or not they all work well.
