Do you remember how our grandparents are telling us of old ways of treatments? For example, for joint pain treatment you must rub it with the gas soaked with ginger. Then, another one is for sprains that we should put heated guava or “gabi” leaves to lessen the swelling.
In this modern world, I don’t think that anyone, except people from provinces, is using those kinds of treatments. Sometimes they don’t believe it anymore, but some still maintain those cures like Chinese people. They are turning over their ancient herbal medicines, from generation to generation. I think it doesn’t matter to me on if it’s an old or new treatment, as long as it fits to cure your sickness, which will be the best thing to have.
