Home Remedies: What do you do in your country?
Many people dislike running to the doctor for medicine to cure common ailments or sicknesses, and thus, they rely on traditional home remedies to help them feel better. For example, for a common cold I had one time, someone mixed up some lemon, garlic, and honey in boiling water, and I drank in to help relieve congestion. Fortunately, it seemed to work. So, are they home remedies specific to your family, country, and culture? Write about any home remedies to the following problems (or any other you can think of):
- back pain,
- bad breath
- colds
- diarrhea
- fever
- insect bites
- insomnia (sleeping problem)
- nosebleeds
- sore feet
- sunburn
- stuffy nose

Hi, I'm from Russia. In the case of cold we usually use preserves (raspberry, strowberry, garden strawberry or honey) with hot tea, especially in the evening, before you go to sleep.
In the case of diarrhea theres is one special remedy - vodka with salt. It's power weapon, but it helps. If you don't like such radical method then strong black tea is more preferable. But you must drink it on an empty stomach.
In my country when someone have fever the people usually to put a handkerchief wet in the head.

Good Morning.
I am from Ecuador, in my country the medical care is personalize,in comparison whith others countries the attention is a lot of technology. In Ecuador The best attention is the private attention, the patient must to pay much money for a good attention and go at doctor's office or hospital without to consider the levels of attention.
I think that to be missing more education in health at the population.
Thanks for you time
see you¡

I guess I'm one of these people who dislike going to the doctor's. I'd rather take some home medicine instead.
When I'm hoarse, for instance, I boil some water with lemon and salt and then let it get warm. When it's warm enough, I gargle it a few times. Well, it really helps.
Hi, I am from korea. When someone has a bee sting, Old people usually suggest applying some soy pastes on the swell. And some people also insist that a bit of minced garlic is better.
I met a student from Poland that insisted I shorten the length of a nasty cold and build my immune system by eating garlic toast with parsley. (I think the parsley is thrown in there to help counter the bad breath from the garlic)
In Korea, men of old times used to soybean after people get stung by a bee.
I don't know it is effective.
Another example, after people catch a cold.
People drink a small-cup of soju(Korea traditional distilled liquor) and eat a spoon of red pepper, before sleep.
This is also folk remedies.
I am from Guatemala. In case of a cold, we usually drink cold water with Alka-Seltzer.
