Welcome to our new and exciting series -all about home/natural remedies! This page is here to work as a sort of table of contents. This series will incorporate things such as “mom remedies”, herbs, vitamins, acupuncture, etc.
Just a few notes on natural/home remedies…
1. Natural or home remedies often have quite a bit of anecdotal evidence but no hard scientific fact…
- Mostly because there is not much money in these remedies, so none of the companies want to put funding into researching a product that won’t make them too much money.
2. The FDA (the government agency that approves drugs) does not regulate natural remedies…
- So, the natural/home remedy does not need to prove that they actually work
- The herbs do not need to actually contain the amount of herb that the label states
3. Natural/home remedies do have side effects!
- Vitamins and herbs are drugs too
- Oftentimes, they will have less side effects because they are not as potent as synthesized drugs
Here are some of the articles (in no particular order)…
