For years we have been brainwashed to ignore home remedies by advertising companies and manufacturers who wanted us to believe that the only solution to various problems was to buy the product they were selling. Old home remedies that had been around for centuries were dismissed as ‘old wives tales’ and ridiculed.

It amuses me that every now and again I hear that scientists have found that some of these old wives tales and home remedies actually do work and often they do not have the side effects of manufacturers products. Invariably these home remedies are also much cheaper to produce than buying pills, potions, creams and tablets produced in vast production facilities that are designed to produce them in their millions every day. With such an expensive operation to fund it is no surprise that the manufacturers of these preparations need to convince us that their product is the only solution to our problem.

Some of the old ways of dealing with problems may have been effective home remedies for hundreds of years are likely to remain so today but there may have been developments that mean modern methods work better but only by using them and testing can we judge if this is the case.

Home remedies are available for anything from dealing with headaches to getting rid of mice. It is not a subject limited to medical issues alone. However, I must point out that if you have a medical problem you should always consult a qualified medical practitioner to examine you and your problem and you should be guided by the medical advice they give you. If you are considering using home remedies you should discus this with them to see if they see any value in your doing so and to ensure there would not be any complications or increased risks.
