I've heard reports that if people eat honey made from the flowers near where they live, it can help allergies.

Fresh aloe vera (break open the actual plant) on a burn turned me into a believer about that remedy! I tried it only to get my long-haired hippie freak friend to stop pestering me.

A homecare patient tells me about "herb tea that makes her poop" I was skeptical. Tea was made with crushed Cassia Angustifolia (Senna). senna= Senokot!!

The power of ordinary salt and hot water as a gargle or a soak has always amazed me.

Aloe Vera rocks! I slathered a ton of it on my sunburn today.

Tea trea is good for acne. My son swears by it for his zits.

Any natural remedies for dandruff that work?
