On a daily basis, both mothers and grandmothers bring to all of us a series of “medicinal concepts” that are so simple that they seem funny. But do these homemade recipes really work?
Brazilian culture is an amalgamation of diversity – we take advantage of everything that serves us, wherever it comes from, that’s the truth. And this is very good, this possibility of receiving from outside and integrating, incorporating into our culture, what other peoples already know from their “elders”. So, out of respect for our diversity, here we are going to talk about some of the most used homemade recipes for everyday annoyances.
These are some of the recipes that our grandparents and great-grandparents brought with them, perhaps from other parts of the world, perhaps they learned their use from a healer or an old man from a distant village. And they are proven recipes, enshrined in popular culture and which are still used without fear, and with positive results, by the people of our country.
