Herbal Home Remedies

Good Old Fashioned Home Remedies have been handed down from Grandma to Child.  Just a few hundred years ago, the local village healer would have picked an apprentice to teach all that knowledge to.

With the advent of modern medicine, we mostly forgot the old simple remedies and just left all the healing to doctors.

Doctors began to specialize because there was just too much information for any one person. And science became the ultimate - if a cure could not be explained - then it was folk medicine snake oil and was not a cure just a false belief by the mind.

You won't find a doctor today who will tell you to put tobacco ash on ring worm or treat your sinusitis with horseradish.

You probably have an old family cure for something.  Something that Grandma said would work.  And it probably does.  I invite you to contribute to this page with your family cure.

As I round up all the articles I have on Home Remedies I will list them here.  Of course when I find a new one I will give you a link in the Natural Health Blog.  Why not sign up for notification of new postings.
