What "indigenous methods" have you heard of in folk medicine?

We have heard a lot of folk local laws since childhood, and these local laws have been passed down from generation to generation. Some of them sound reasonable and really effective, so today I will tell you about the indigenous methods I have heard.

You can treat a cold with onions. Cut off a little scallion, add ginger slices, add two bowls of water to boil, add a proper amount of brown sugar and take it while it is hot. Cover the quilt immediately and sweat it out. Green onions can also treat viral colds. Mash it into a paste, apply it to the soles of your feet before going to bed at night, and stick it with tape. It will be restored when it is opened early the next morning.

If you have a headache, such as migraine, you can buy a pigeon, kill it, wash it, add some gastrodia elata, and eat meat and soup for two days. Generally, you can recover by eating two pigeons. Don't drink alcohol or eat kelp during eating pigeon soup. If the elderly often feel dizzy, you can take a green shell duck egg, add 10 red dates, add a little water, stir evenly and steam it, and take it on an empty stomach in the morning. Generally, eating for five days has special effects.

Most of these folk remedies were discovered by folk doctors when they saw a doctor, and they were the result of unintentional insertion. Many times, they lack scientific basis, so we can't believe them, and we can't believe them all. If you really have serious physical discomfort, you'd better take the initiative to go to the hospital for treatment and follow the doctor's advice. Even if others say that some folk remedies are effective, if the doctor objects, it is better not to use them easily, so as not to bring harm to the body.

I believe that you have used many remedies, and sometimes it may be a psychological effect that you find useful.
