Alternative Remedies In South Africa
In South Africa and in Africa at large, alternative remedies have been playing an important role in maintaining health for many years. Plants of the veldt have been used in alternative remedies in South Africa to treat all kinds of ailments, by grinding the roots or applying the leaves as a poultice. Many indigenous trees have incredible medicinal properties, which we have not even started to harness. Take for example the Knoppiesdoring tree, from which the knobs on the bark are made to use as a good quality snuff.

There are many alternative remedies, or “Boererate”, which have been passed down by generations and which are remedies for certain ailments, such as drinking a glass of warm milk with honey, before you go to bed to help alleviate insomnia. Another example of an alternative remedy is for hair-loss, which comprises of making a paste of warm olive oil, honey and cinnamon, spreading it on your scalp and leaving it on for five minutes.
