Long before the advancement of science and the development of pharmaceutical products people relied on using natural things like leaves of trees, shrubs, and plants to cure the common ailments. They also used nuts, seeds, and roots of many plants, herbs and spices. Even some fruits are used to treat certain conditions. All these things are pure and natural with no harmful chemicals in them. There are no side effects to worry about. There is no harm in using these different things for common ailments before going to a physician. If they help you Praise to Almighty God! If these remedies will not help at least they will not harm you. Most of the things are found either in your kitchen or at any supermarket. Fruits are commonly available. Some herbs and spices you might have to look for at Chinese stores or Indian supermarkets. Not all fruits, vegetables, herbs and spices are covered in this book.
