The kitchen is the room that's most likely to hold the remedies for household emergencies or even common ailments, and years ago, every household practiced kitchen medicine. Doctors were expensive and people were self-reliant-even when it came to health care.

Today, doctors are more expensive and we've become much less self-reliant. Now Kitchen Medicine revives that lost tradition of the kitchen as pharmacy.
