Most anything found on the internet now days will be new age with only a small amount of it having been actually handed down from the writer's ancestry. Colonial, settlers and pioneer's day to day survival routines were rarely ever deemed worthy of mention in history books. If they were, it was only to hyphenate a certain date or event that happened.
Old medical journals from the 17th 18th & 19th centuries held many home-remedies since many of the healers/ doctors discovered them for themselves. Once the practice of becoming a DR, was relegated to being only through university studies and pharmaceutical companies took over virtually all medicines more for profit than roe cures. Dr's frown on anything that does not have a big-name pharma associated with it because they get paid to push the newest snake oil drugs that Pharma comes up with, that and the fact that almost everyone's diet is now comprised primarialy of food having a questionable nutrition value. For decades now crops have been grown in soils that wouldn't even support weeds without increasingly higher amounts of artificial amenities. All meat consumed is raised on antibiotics and a host of other medicines that is quote unquote for our safety and wellbeing. It is no wonder why countless hundreds of millions of people around the planet have to rely so heavily on regular Dr. visits for prescription medicines, they have no natural immunities to just about anything any more

I don't know about that. I'll believe any treatment, new or old, so long as there's real data to support it. If it's peer reviewed and clinically tested then you can prove something's safe and effective. There's a huge prevalence of snake-oil salesmen pandering grasses, herbs and tonics that "detoxify" or are "good for your liver" and it's all based on nothing. They just made it up. Whenever you hear "toxins" or "detoxify" you are 100% being fed a line of BS. I have a friend that's an ND (Naturopathic Doctor). She prescribes natural treatments that are backed by science. If you don't trust big pharma you should look into contacting an ND. It's real medicine and real science, just with a strong emphasis on utilizing compounds found in nature rather than ones cooked up in a lab.

Our Nurse practitioner was trained by a ND and you can find things in our local pharmacy that would only get you a stern disapproving look from a pharmacist at a big box pharmacy. It's nice living in a county with fewer than 1800 residents

One thing you can trust is to put vinegar in your ears for an earache (Otitis externa). Pharmeceutical Otic drops are, in fact, acetic acid. In that one, anyway, your grandma was right.
