Recently there was a documentary on the BBC about the effectiveness of many pharmacy medicines available without prescription, sold to cure or reduce the symptoms of some of the common everyday ailments we experience. Things like coughs and colds, sore throats, indigestion and acne.
The conclusion of the BBC documentary was that many of the expensive medicines we purchase to treat these ailments are ineffective, with little if any evidence they doing us any good; in fact many of these medicines have side effects so they could in fact be doing us harm. The ‘take-away’ of the documentary was that you won’t go far wrong trying – tried and tested traditional home remedies, before running out to the pharmacy.
With the above in mind, we’ve had this home remedy infographic created that lists some of the most common home remedies, together with instructions on how to use them.
