10 Home Remedies You Can Trust Based on Science
You've probably tried a home cure before: herbal teas for colds, essential oils for a headache, and plant-based vitamins for a night of better sound sleep, to name a few. Maybe your grandmother told you or you read about it on the internet. The point is that you tried it, and you're probably wondering, "Should I try it again?"
It's not entirely obvious what makes a home cure work. Is it more of a placebo effect or a physiological alteration in the body? Thankfully, researchers have been exploring the same questions in the lab in recent decades, and they've discovered that some of our plant-based treatments aren't just old wives' tales.
So, if you're a skeptic who needs more than a test substance to feel better, we've got you covered.
