Folk

Folk in folk remedy refers to something that comes from our ancestors rather than something supplied by a big drug company.

It refers to cures used by people that have not been tested and approved by the medical community like teas, herbs, and other natural elements that are ingested or applied to the body. It might also include some "potions" or ceremonies/rituals. Some that used to be considered folk remedies are commonly used today like aloe vera. Years ago, we couldn't buy aloe vera in the store. We had to get it
