Would you apply those un -scientific methods?

It is winter time, the skin just getting dried, and it might be rough for us. My aunt taught me that, boil the green pea in hot water for a few minutes. Took out the green bean, and dip your hands to that water and wash them for a couple of minutes. If you keep doing it for several weeks, your hands will be nutritious again. I still have doubt on this method she taught me, and I didn't try it yet. Do you believe in those un - scientific methods?

Sometimes these non scientific methods work better than scientific ones. Women (and men) have discovered many helpful things over the years that works. They may not know why, but is the reason something works more important than the fact that it does? If I were you, I'd try it to see and then report here.

Sometimes I used this kinds of un-scientific methods and they really work. I think these method are not un-scientific, just because we don't realize the scientific mechanism of these methods. For example, the way your aunt taught, the green pea may contains some special chemical composition which could help to keep the skin nutritious. The composition may be glycerol I guess.

yes, I probably would believe it because they already know more and they also have an expert in solving an interesting thing. and it was very good, I actually want on their thumbs who like to experiment and hopefully they do the experiment could be useful for others.
