Simple Home
Remedies and Inexpensive Treatments
After she married,
my mother lived in Cuba's countryside for a while. She
told me of an old time home remedy that country women
used immediately after child birth, in order to get back
to work and into the fields quicker .
The midwife
would make hen soup and the new mother would drink
the hen broth soon after delivery. The following day
they'd be ready to return to their farm
duties.
My mother
can't explained why they didn't use just plain
chicken soup...she just said hen soup worked 100% of
the time.
Sometimes we can't
explain traditions and folk remedies, but as long as they work, they're worth exploring. Some days back, I came across a website, providing nice information on home remedies and natural cures, I have tried many of their remedies to treat common illnesses; the best part is that, there are no side effects of these homemade medicines.
I'll always
respect my mother. I saw in her determination and
strength throughout my growing years. Now, as a grown
woman, with children of my own, I realize the extent of
her past struggles. I can only imagine what it must have
been like to enter in a new country with only the clothes
on her back and 2 small babies.
My mother quickly
tried to adapt to her new home while maintaining and
retaining the old traditions, remedies and
cures...especially in times of very poor cash flow. I
carry some of those traits within me today; I don't
believe that our new commercialized, technological
society is always the only answer.
