“Coconut oil nourishes your hair, while lemon juice helps to treat dandruff at home without using harmful chemicals. Given below is the easiest dandruff home remedy: Step 1: Heat 2 tablespoons of coconut oil and mix it with equal amounts of lemon juice. Step 2: Massage your scalp gently with the mixture”

Sounds interesting, but such unique simple home remedies are inhibited by the language barrier! Healthcare is a complex issue but cultural and language barriers complicate the situation even further!!!

Home remedies may come from all over the world. Unfortunately very few of them are documented in English. This article does not endorse home remedies instead of consulting your doctor, but it does point at how interesting it would be to have mastery in another language!

Here comes a video that describes various home remedies for the common cold, acne, a sore throat and numbness of legs found among elederly people. Try to grasp the content with the help of the English subtitles I’ve provided. This will give you an idea of just how eloquent Malayalam Language is!
