I grew up in a culture where the elder women in the family knew the best of remedies for most any ailment. At the time, being so young, I didn’t buy it. Decades later, when I seek medical attention for anything, from a migraine to joint pains to indigestion, the inability to sleep at nights, or whatever, they are too ready to prescribe pills, with a list of side effects a mile long. I regularly pass, turning to the Internet for natural healing solutions instead, always finding out suggestions bringing to mind the elder women in my culture.

What have you found to remedy your aches and pains?
