So I wondered if home remedies, alternative treatments, and folklore cures might also be based on truth. First, let\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s try to define the phrase home remedy.<\/p><div class=\"76f24c20a33dee5faad526b620499aea\" data-index=\"2\" style=\"float: left; margin: 10px 10px 10px 0;\">\n<script type=\"text\/javascript\"><!--\r\ngoogle_ad_client = \"pub-3517850094199463\";\r\ngoogle_ad_width = 300;\r\ngoogle_ad_height = 250;\r\ngoogle_ad_format = \"300x250_as\";\r\ngoogle_ad_channel =\"\";\r\ngoogle_color_border = \"FFFFFF\";\r\ngoogle_color_bg = \"FFFFFF\";\r\ngoogle_color_link = \"0000FF\";\r\ngoogle_color_url = \"008000\";\r\ngoogle_color_text = \"000000\";\r\n\/\/--><\/script>\r\n                <script type=\"text\/javascript\"\r\n  src=\"https:\/\/pagead2.googlesyndication.com\/pagead\/show_ads.js\">\r\n            <\/script>\n<\/div>\n\n<p>There\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s No Place Like Home<\/p>\n<p>The name itself proclaims that a home remedy is, well, a remedy that\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s administered at home! Prescription drugs are often given at home as remedies, so we need to dig a little deeper. When you think of home remedy, don\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t you think of some sort of cure or treatment that\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s outside mainstream modern medicine? Me too. Let\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s take a look at some choices.<\/p>\n<p>The Holistic View<\/p>\n<p>The dictionary defined holistic medicine as an approach to medical care that emphasizes the study of all aspects of a person&#8217;s health, including physical, psychological, social, economic, and cultural factors. The holistic definition is very broad and could apply to many medical approaches.<\/p>\n<p>Peaches &#038; Herbs?<\/p>\n<p>Many people associate herbs with home remedies. The definition for herbal remedy is a plant, or plant part, or an extract or mixture of these used to prevent, alleviate, or cure disease called also herbal medicine. That sounds like a good definition, although home remedies tend to encompass more than herbal remedies. What\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s next?<\/p>\n<p>Folk Medicine<\/p>\n<p>Folk medicine is defined as traditional medicine especially as practiced by people isolated from modern medical services, and usually involving the use of plant-derived remedies on an empirical basis. Now we\u00e2\u20ac\u2122re getting somewhere! The old-timers practiced medicine not based entirely on plants when modern medicine wasn\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t available. Let\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s dig a little deeper into the dictionary.<\/p>\n<p>Home At Last<\/p>\n<p>Finally we find the dictionary\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s definition of home remedy: a simply prepared medication or tonic often of unproven effectiveness administered without prescription or professional supervision. So &#8211; it is a remedy prepared outside the realm of modern medicine, it\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s not limited to herbs, but unproven effectiveness? I disagree. I can prove that some of the simplest home remedies have led to some of our greatest medical breakthroughs (but that\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s another article).<\/p>\n<p>Is That Your Final Answer?<\/p>\n<p>Based on the research above, let\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s agree to define a home remedy as follows:<\/p>\n<p>An experienced-based or even accidental remedy or cure prepared by common folk from herbs, plants, or other available ingredients when modern medical help was unavailable (or hadn\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t been devised yet).<\/p>\n<p>That\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s my answer, and I\u00e2\u20ac\u2122m sticking to it!<\/p>\n<p>Want to try free home remedies for yourself?
