Do you use herbal remedies? What herbs have you used to cure various ailments? Are herbal remedies more effective than pills? Tinnu replied. I do not want to discourage people from using these remedies but please be careful. I know some people who have used home remedies for their problems and then the situation has gotten worse. I am just saying that you must be completely certain of what you are using. And you should confirm that you are using proper remedy to treat a particular disorder. I would always suggest that it is better not to use such treatments for serious disorder. If you want to use herbal treatment for a particular serious health disorder you should always consult an expert. Sushmita replied. Hi. My grandmother used to always use home remedies. Whenever someone was not well, she would always say ' eat this' or if someone got hurt, she would make a paste out of something and apply it to the wound. Not once did she ever use something and not have it work. I try to remember all those home remedies for treating common health problems and use it in my day to day life too. I think that herbal medicines are the best as compared to other medicines. It is always better to use herbal medicines instead of visiting doctor for treating small health problems. Veena replied. Ginger is a great home remedy as well. If you have a cough or a sore throat, boil some ginger along with your regular tea and then drink it. The ginger calms the muscles in your throat and prevents further pain. Plus, ginger also helps in reducing your cold. Ginger tea is also a tasty drink. If you want to add on more taste to your ginger tea just add some lemon grass and boil along with ginger. This drink is a good combination for treating a common cold. If you like the taste of lemon grass, you can also put it in a glass of milk and boil it along with a clove. Try this herbal drink to treat your cold and cough, it tastes good!
