I saw a book advertised recently that contains natural remedies ….i am interested in this as I am not one for pills and potions. I do, however, use man made medicines.
I would rather use natural products whenever possible. Years ago there were no ‘proper medicines’ and people used natural items and were cured of illnesses.
That got me wondering …what do you think ….do you trust natural remedies or think it’s a load of mumbo jumbo ?

Natural remedies are real enough
For instance weed or cannabis is widely known to remedy a whole load of problems.
Other plants too,
So it's not mimbo Jimbo
Mint, can help with stuff too.
So can garlic, ginger, turmeric etc etc

I also found out today that beetroot is good for you ….helps with high blood pressure I think.
I didn’t know about mint.

Beetroot is a good pee colourant too
Mint is an anti inflammatory I think.
Pineapple juice, straight from the pineapple is also good for us guys

@Ineeddentures yes, I once ate a lot of beetroot and when I went to the loo I was really scared ….i didn’t know what would happen eating so much beetroot. I did feel relieved later though.

Some natural remedies are real cures or, at least, they help with symptoms... Some are hogwash and have more to do with the placebo effect.
The problem with most natural remedies is that the doses might not always be the same, depending on how they're made.
