Abstract
Every so often, you meet someone who tells you that the "best way to cure x, is to use y", where x = a problem, and y = easily available ingredient from your kitchen/garden/home. But are they really effective? What does putting honey on a wound really do? Can they be (eeps) dangerous sometimes? Or is it actually possible to run a hospital from your home? In this UDLS, I plan to delve into some common remedies for first aid problems and investigate the rationale/science behind them.
