Every one of us gets some or other health problems now and
then. We don’t have to run to the doctor for all these small ailments. We can
use our pantry to cure some of these ailments. I mean, some of the items we use
in our daily cooking will be useful for curing a certain ailment. Am I right?
OK, then!
This page discusses about such home remedies that we can do
ourselves with simple cooking items available at our home. I usually look for
such home remedies as it is the natural way to cure small ailments instead of
using medicines for everything. I learned some from mom, mother-in-law and
other family members and of course friends. I even collected some useful
remedies through magazines, TV etc. I thought it would be so useful for many
who look for home remedies.
I will keep updating this page as soon as I came to know of
new remedies.
OK. Here goes the list of Home Remedies:
