We've all been there, succumbed to some "natural hack" or "herbal remedy" to solve issues that we think we can handle at home. Whether they work or not is a different issue, but it is fun to listen and try out these hacks at home. Recently, Twitter was abuzz with Netizens sharing "homoeopathic hacks" they have received or have imparted in their life. While some of the results were hilarious, some were actually helpful. Common Homeopathy Myths You Should Stop Believing In, According to an Expert.
Brittany Packnett, who goes by the handle name @MsPackyetti on Twitter, took to the social media platform to ask the Twitterverse about the homoeopathic hacks they have learned. Her tweet read: "What's one natural remedy or life hack your homoeopathic friend (we all have one) taught you that REALLY works? Masks, juices, house hacks...all of it." She further said, "If you don't know who your homoeopathic friend is, it's you. Girl, just put baking soda and the zest of two limes on it, and it'll heal right up" flower child always helpful asses."

Right
Elderberry syrup. Actually some evidence it might be a somewhat effective antiviral. Given that there's nothing else to do for viruses unless they're really bad, and given that it grows like a weed many places, might as well pick some & make some syrup. (Tasty!)

Alright
I'm that friend. I use garlic & honey tea for colds & throat; oregano oil drops to fight off illness, aloe for scrapes, egg white meringue for skin facials; rosemary oil with argan for scalp massage; coffee grounds for my plants; white vinegar for cleaning windows & mirrors.

Hmmm
Bad cold, swollen throat, anything where you have to kill some kinda bacteria in your mouth: take a big spoonful of honey and let it sit wherever it's sore. Delicious and antibacterial

Nice
Turmeric and yogurt for any skin irritations. It’s the only thing that soothes my eczema. (Turmeric is a natural antiseptic and was used by local troops during the British Raj. The yogurt is cooling) Mix it, spread it, out a wrap around it.

Ok Then
Homeopathy and natural remedies are two very different things. Homeopathy doesn't really work.

Nasty is Welcome
Sorry for being that person.
But I do have a (rather nasty) natural remedy: onion syrup can loosen the mucus when you have a bad cough. Wouldn't go near people for up to 24 hours though.

Shall Try
Nothing entirely eliminates the nausea/vomiting from my chemo (including all the nausea meds I’m on), but I recently began starting and ending every day drinking 20 oz of water with a fresh lemon squeezed into it. It’s made a HUGE difference.🍋🍋🍋

We Were Waiting For The Essential Oils
Get that essential oil diffuser. Turn it on in your bedroom about a half hour before sleeping. Started that a few months ago and now I’m all 😴😴😴 when I used to be 😳😳😳.

Epsom Salt is Love
Epsom Salt and Vaseline is the sum total of my great grandmother’s first aid kit. The only difference between us is also have bandaids.

While we cannot guarantee whether these actually work or not, you must refrain from experimenting with any of the ingredients that you might be allergic to. Also, Homoeopathy and natural remedies, in general, are two different things. While homoeopathy is a branch of science that may include medicine, natural remedies do not have any scientific backing.
