Folk Medicine – Does it work?

The dictionary on WebMD.com defines “folk medicine” as “treatment of ailments outside clinical medicine by remedies and simple measures based on experience and knowledge handed down from generation to generation.” Fact is, amny of these Alerternative Medicine Treatments do work.
I can personally vouch for the fact that there are many folk medicine remedies out there that work. They’ve worked for several previous generations, and they’ll work for ours. For example, my grandmother taught me how to cure poison ivy. She said to mix black powder (gun power that is used in .22 shorts) with whipping cream and apply it to the rash. It worked! I still use the remedy.
