#1 Folk Remedies from Around the World to Heal and Nourish the Body

Ask around like we did and sure enough you will begin to acquire a valuable database of folk remedies. Everyone we asked had a home remedy or two; a grandmother's remedy to cure gout (apple cider vinegar), a sister's Ayurvedic remedy to stop diarrhea within minutes (turmeric), an old Mexican remedy to cure a nagging cough (garlic). Thrilled to have this treasure chest of recipes to cure nagging conditions, we started to post these remedies on Earth Clinic back in 1999. Not long after that, our readers started responding with their own family remedies. If you have any more remedies to send our way, we'd all appreciate it very much!
