I live in the USA and BIG PHARMA is wreaking havoc on all classes of income. What are some of your favorite home remedies that the pharmaceutical world cannot compete with?
Here are some of mine that I swear by:
- Coconut oil for rashes.
- Dial soap for shaving cream (really good with sensitive skin).
- Baking powder used for a natural “clarifying” agent to cleanse your hair and/or use it as body scrub.
- A shot of moonshine for a sore throat/cold (of course age appropriate).
