What do you think when you hear the words "home remedies?" We certainly hope no one thinks of do-it-yourself lobotomies or curing gout by burying their toenails under a Hawthorne tree during the full moon.
No, home remedies are simply tried and true, and sometimes economical, solutions to everyday problems involving our health. By far, the most asked question I encounter has to do with, well, not going. You would be surprised at how many people recite the long list of laxatives they've purchased over the years--some of them working, some of them not.
Before you try any OTC laxatives, try eating the proverbial apple a day. Other fruit will do as well, but the versatile apple is available fresh, dried, or cooked into high-calorie concoctions that we all love. A spot of hot coffee or tea is also beneficial, yet most who relate this problem tell me they've never tried either "home remedy."
Now, excuse me, I have some eye of neut simmering in my cauldron...
Have a great weekend,
Nurse Nan
