My wife has become quite the expert with her various natural remedies, all thanks to the resources she finds online in Polish. Long may it last.
it is "dying out" because modern medicine wasn't an option years ago, they did with what they had. they also died of basic infections all the time because they didn't have......modern medicine.
for small things like colds and such, sure, do your homeopathy thing, but we all know everyone gets over colds and the flu regardless of what they take or don't take and there's no saying whether your whiskey and honey cocktail helped your child get over a cold in 13 days instead of 14.
agreed that things like antibiotics are delved out waaaay too frequently, poland being a huge culprit of this. if it's a virus, you're wasting your time. BUT, if you got something like strep, you better go the prescription route instead of vodka and pepper, otherwise you're simply prolonging someone's suffering.
