Home Remedies can’t always replace going to the doctor, and should never replace a trip to the hospital when needed. But everyday ailments and complaints can often be eased or helped with some good old fashioned advise and tried and true helps from Grandmas kitchen and garden. Using home remedies requires some common sense, so if you don’t have any, stop reading now! You have to know when it’s ok to try something easy and when a doctors visit has to happen. You have to know how to judge whether or not symptoms are better or worse.

So in an effort to make us healthier and maybe happier, I’m going to publish a bunch of articles on home remedies. I’m putting these in the preparedness area because knowing how to resolve issues without a doctor could save a bunch of money, and if you can’t get to a doctor or are in an emergency situation a little knowledge and a little common sense could be very helpful.

I’m getting this information from several sources, some books I’ve collected and have learned to rely on, some articles I’ve collected that make perfect sense and some old stories and recipes from my own family. Generations have lived and survived well with a little help from the town midwife or the advise from their own Grandmother. Babies have been soothed, tummy troubles solved, headaches and insomnia have become things of the past, with a little help from the old book of home remedies.

Lets face it, most of us run to the doctor way too often for the most minor of problems. Some of us have been to the doctor and found too many prescriptions with no result. Why take a pill for every little thing with who knows what side effects, when something easy and harmless could bring the same result? Obviously you need to know if you have allergies, or sensitivities to a substance before trying it, again with the common sense!

So search through the home remedies articles and see if you can find some help for your ailment, then thank a Grandma!
