Freelance announcer Motokariya Riina surprises people of her natural remedies at home

Freelance announcer Motokariya Riina was on television and during her appearance, she discussed natural remedies she does for her young son.

If he has a fever, to put a cabbage leaf on top of his head and also put breast milk in her child’s eyes to help block her son’s nose if he has a nose bleed.  She learned this from her grandmother.

Needless to say, it has  opened a lot of discussions on SNS.

“Breastmilk in the eyes” is an old way that my mother learned from my great grandmother.  It was looked at as better because water was unsanitary at the time or a hundred years ago.

Why do naturalist force their children to the old way of doing things, yet dress contemporary.

Putting cabbage on one’s head doesn’t cure the disease, it just increases the amount of garbage.  Why not use ice pillows or wet cold towels or go to the hospital and see a doctor?

Isn’t this medical neglect?

It’s scary to think that folk remedies which are not proven can work better than medical treatments.

But what do you do after you have stopped breastfeeding?

An opthalmologist wrote, do not put breast milk in ones eyes. It can cause hyperemia and there is no proof that its a natural remedy.
