Before there were all of these medicines people managed to stay healthy somehow. Honey seems to be a wonder drug, especially local raw honey. It’s got antiviral properties and studies are being done on its efficacy for covid 19. There is a reason you take tea or hot water with honey when you’re sick and its not just to make your drink sweet.
Before modern medicine people died young and often. Homeopathic treatments are good for some things, but usually not the big killers.
