Home remedies

As a child I dreaded my mother's home remedies. Everytime I approached her with a stomach ache she would take out her tea pot and fill it up with water and insert a dried herb that she had tuck away to the very end of her spice cabinet. I could still taste that wretch bitter tea in my mouth! But surprisingly enough the stomach pain would go away. Our mother would hardly take us to the doctor instead she would cook up a witches brew and make us take it. Okay, I'm exaggerating about the witches brew. However, she would take out her herbs and make her own medicine. Plants are very important and due to home remedies we had a healthy life. In fact I still use some of my mother's remdies. In a saucepan I place a small garlic clove with one tablespoon of olive oil and warm it up on the stove. Once it's cooled I grab a cotton ball and let soak, then place three to four drops inside the earache and cover it with a clean cotton ball. When my daughter gets a minor earache I use this home remedy and it works everytime. Oh, and aloe vera works wonders for minor burns! More and more people are using plants for sickness rather then popping pills in their mouth.
