The Home Remedy

Home remedies were Chinese traditional custom. They were usually used by elder parents or grandparents because there were no synthetic medicines in the past. Currently, some parents still believed the home remedy for illness cured. Chinese home remedies are including that eat the nature plant; have the wine which soaked plans and Chinese medicines; massage the body for muscled relaxed.
My son had got Eterovirus when he was 3 years old. One of the feature was the sore throat. We took him to see the doctor several times but his sore throat was not cured . The sore throat made him hard to swallow any foods and sleep well. My mother found out that a neighbor who has planted the pogostemon cablin, and then she got some leaves of pogpstemon cablin back. She put leaves and some salt in the bowl and used the spoon to press them becoming juice. Next, she fed my soon with juice of pogostemon cablin twice per day. After one day, my son started to eat a little food. The 2nd day, he could drink and sleep well. The 3rd day, he was cured completely.
My elder sister had the wine which soaked plants and Chinese medicines for muscle pain. A traffic accident led to her arm broken couple years ago. After several months, her arm was healed completely but there were still muscle pain in her arm. In that time, my elder brother had soaked the wine with the plant which was the Eleutherococcus Senticosus and some Chinese medicines. This kind of wine is that we called “Medicine-Wine”. She had drunk Medicine-Wine for a month. Finally, the muscle pain left her arm.
Most Chinese knew that the Gua-Sha was like massaging muscles. It needs to use a tool to scratch skin. If the same area skin was scratched repeatedly, the blood capillary will be broken and then let muscle relax.In traditional Chinese medicine science, Gua-Sha will let blocked blood capillary be unobstructed; it also will mean “Chi” which Chinese called is unimpeded, but I had heard a news that Gua-sha hurt somebody's nerves because the force of Gua-Sha was too heavy.
Home remedies were not bad to us. However, there were not science experiments to approve how to use for illness cured in the past. If it was used appropriately, that will be helpful for illness healed. Currently, some of scientists started to research home remedy what kind of substances in material or how quantity is good to the body of human and so on. In the future, I think scientists can approve and keep helpful traditional Chinese home remedy.
