Home remedies represent a simple and traditional way to treat minor health problems. For some people they are good, for others they are just a waste of time. A home remedy I use to have is one for a sore throat, up to this moment it seems to work. Get a small glass with a little bit of whisky or any other strong drink (vodka, rum, etc.), then add a spoonful of honey, hot lemon juice and hot water. Drink it at once, it's really nasty but it works.
