antique medicine chest with spice and Herb drawers.jpg
I remember a medicine chest in my grandmothers pantry, stocked with all kinds of herbs and natural remedies, as well as some bottles of I believe it was Lennon medicines, with Jamaica Ginger, for cramps, Bergamot for hair loss, Lewensessens for pain if I can remember correctly, among others. Being on a farm with no town nearby, she often had to help farm workers and family with natural remedies. She often said that some of the remedies were used when the Voortrekkers came from the Cape to heal the people as they trekked across the land. There were no medical doctors that accompanied them and they had to rely on what they had in their medicine chests.
People are turning more and more toward using natural remedies that have been tried and tested by many generations. So many modern medicines contain harmful ingredients with side effects. I have personally experienced the problems caused by an antibiotic prescribed for me that triggered a whole series of auto immune problems. I have experienced the benefits of natural remedies. and the use of the some of the old remedies that my grandmother used.
