As a young boy growing up in Nassau Bahamas, there wasn’t such a heavy reliance on the healthcare system as we now see today. Families back then were much more self-reliant then than they are today. In my home. if there was an illness or ailment, my mother would look in her trusty book of natural remedies, and find the appropriate treatment regimen for us whenever needed. If we had diarrhea, she would give us tea made from the bark of the guava tree, which stopped the diarrhea in its track. For fevers, cool baths and a tea made from banana and fever grass leaves did the trick. For a boil, mom would bring that boil to a head with a paste made from “bird-pepper” leaf. Today, people flock to the public clinics, and hospitals for these very same issues.
