When someone in my family got sick, my grandmother would make her "voodoo tea" and make us drink it. Amazingly, it could cure just about anything and didn't taste too bad!
Here's the recipe:
2 cloves of garlic
one thumb-sized piece of ginger
1/2 teaspoon red pepper
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
1 tablespoon of honey
1 tablespoon of lemon juice
Chop the garlic and ginger and boil in water with the red & black pepper for 20 minutes. Pour into a mug and add the honey and lemon. Drink slowly.
What traditional ways do you know about for getting/staying healthy? Please write them in the comments!

Hi,Matt!I'm Masumi Horie.I'd like to answear this question.
ReplyDeleteJapanese people eat "rice porridge" when they get sick. It is very easy to assimilate,so they can eat it easily even though they have no appetite. They gradually recover their health because they take nourishment by it.
See you next class!

ReplyDeleteLet me answer your question.
I heard that wrapping welsh onion around one's neck is good remedy. I have never tried it, but many people say that it is effective remedy, so when you are in bad condition it is worth doing.
See you next class.

ReplyDeleteWhen I got sick, my mother made "kudzu water". It made me healthy. It is easy to make kudzu water. You need only three materials, kuzdu powder, hohey and water. First you put kudzu powder in the cup, and put water to dissolve the powder. Finaly, you mellt honey in the water. This drink gives you relief for your sick.
