Natural or home remedies for ailments and illnesses don’t always taste or smell good, but some people recommend them anyway. Are they effective? CNA Lifestyle asks the medical experts.
The last time I mentioned I’d hurt my knee in a group chat, my handphone didn’t stop pinging for a few good seconds. I was inundated with “remedies” ranging from the conventional (ice and elevate the joint), the unusual (mix apple cider vinegar with water and drink it), and something quite tasty (a recipe for collagen soup).
With dengue cases on the rise in recent times, you can imagine the surge in talk about papaya leaf home remedies in all the chat groups I’m in. “Can help to increase platelet count if you kena (get) dengue,” someone texted.
Contacts for supplies of fresh papaya leaves or loose, dried ones have been dominating the chats. “Try Etsy,” someone texted. “Picked and shipped from Sri Lanka, apparently.” This was followed by more pings, more recipes on what to do with the procured leaves.

WTH do you think they did before big pharma came along?
You should try castor oil and pine oil. Clean you right out.
I will gladly take a home remedy for a psoriasis patch. It is burning so bad..but oddly my blood tests come back normal for inflammation
Did you do CRP and High Sensitivity CRP?
Yep. Normal. It’s weird. I have water on the knee above the psoriasis but normal inflammation markers while the pain in my knee hits a 10
Btw..I had a cytokine panel done. Had to ask for it. Tnfa was on the low side which is not what you expect with psoriasis. My doctor’s are clueless
Also...I ordered a red light from mito. If it works I will let people know..not expecting it to work
Combine whatever remedy that you may have on hand with a good measure of bourbon, stir and enjoy.
I heard that Leuprolide Acetate works wonders for monkey po
Ouch
Mixing baking soda with something like peanut butter works on rats ,LOL
On the plus side...I only have one large patch. It could be a lot worse.
I did wrap my knee in Saran wrap with aloe vera which helped a little. This would be hard to do for a lot of sufferers
Bleach bath..dang..I think I might have to get worse before I try that one.
Saran wrap
Had a girlfriend that liked that.
But I might try Elmer’s glue..I think I tried banana peel once and it might have helped..going to have to try the lust
That kept me mostly healthy as a kid.
My sister uses coconut oil for everything.
