10 Home Remedies everyone should know

 Here are some lesser-known home remedies that can be quite handy:

    Growing up as a child both my  mom and my dad were from a different country that I was born in. They were born on the little island of St Vincent but I was born on the twin island republic of Trinidad and Tobago. My parents always seemed to know a lot of home medicinal remedies that always surprised me. Like for instance as a kid I would have a lot of nose bleeds and my mom would use a rag dipped in cold water to help stop my nose bleeds. My dad would also use the leaf from the aloe plant to help stop bleeding whenever our childhood shenanigans resulted  cuts and bruises. I guess you could say my childhood was a bloody mess, but I digress.

    My Mom and Dad's ability to always seem to know what home remedies to apply and when was like a super power to me.
