How Can You Stay Healthy At Home During a Crisis?

Let’s get one thing straight. As scary as the coronavirus is, you must not avoid going to an urgent care center or an emergency room if you are experiencing something worrisome. Any emergency deserves prompt medical attention. Full stop! But there are lots of minor ailments that might discourage you from going to the doctor’s office during the coronavirus pandemic. You may want to try some of our home remedies so you can stay healthy at home.

We wrote The People’s Pharmacy Quick & Handy Home Remedies: Q&As for Your Common Ailments a few years ago. It was published by National Geographic. It is a perennial favorite and offers hundreds of simple solutions to health problems you are likely to encounter over the next few months. Most of the treatments can be found in your kitchen cabinet. We try to provide scientific explanations whenever they are available.

There are many surprising treatments for everyday illnesses, including affordable options for easing conditions like:

  • Acne
  • Allergies
  • Arthritis
