Definition of home remedy in English English dictionary

A home remedy is a treatment to cure a disease or ailment that employs certain spices, vegetables, or other common items from the kitchen. Home remedies may or may not have actual medicinal properties that serve to treat or cure the disease or ailment in question, as they are typically passed along by laypersons (which has been facilitated in recent years by the Internet).; many are merely used as a result of tradition or habit or because they are quite effective in inducing the placebo effect. A significant number, however, have been demonstrated to effectively treat ailments such as sprains, minor lacerations, headaches, fevers, and even the common cold

A simply prepared medication or tonic often of unproven effectiveness administered without prescription or professional supervision
