Doctor in the Kitchen
Dignity Dialogue
|June 2021
Even as we turn to finding a cure for our ailments in our kitchens and gardens, Dr. Sonam Vohra provides an insight into what makes for a home remedy and why caution is required.
AT a time when medical treatment has turned so expensive, especially when it comes to availing of treatment from specialists, people – and especially senior citizens – are increasingly turning towards home remedies. Memories are being jogged about ancient wisdom passed on from one generation to another and the healing properties of common herbs, spices, vegetables and fruits are being studied once more to see how they can help prevent the onset of any ailment or help avoid a visit to the doctor. But before you start exploring specific home remedies for various diseases, you have to understand its meaning and implications.
A home remedy is defined as a simply prepared medication or tonic often of unproven effectiveness administered without prescription or professional supervision. Home remedies may or may not have medicinal properties that treat or cure the disease or ailment in question. Every civilisation defines, views and applies its home remedies differently. Historic cookbooks are frequently full of remedies for dyspepsia, fevers, and female complaints. Beyond the convenience, home remedies have found favour with a public that wants to take a more holistic approach to its ailments.
