We need

This is an opportunity for you to share your favourite home remedies and contribute to our work exploring their potential use for everyone's benefit. We plan to build a worldwide knowledge base on the personal use of remedies that all can read, use and comment on. Your story could be a favourite home remedy or something you have been studying. We will review all submissions - we ask you to provide an email address so we can send back the uploaded version for your approval. However we promise that your email address will not be published, that we will not use it for promotional purposes, nor in any other way. Each story we include will be anonymous.
