About this ebook
Our Grandparents, Great Grandparents and all the generations before them, relied on mainly homemade household and health care remedies for all their basic needs. These remedies are the one we use regularly, they have proven themselves to be effective over many generations, are environmentally friendly, safe to use and cost a fraction of the cost of commercially available preparations that are almost always detrimental to our health and the environment in general. We first started using them because of our concerns with the hazardous chemicals and compounds in all store brought body care products and household cleaners. We were also faced with a severely restricted budget and had to find ways of trimming our expenses to the absolute minimum to obtain a reasonable standard of living. Using the remedies in this book we reduced our monthly expenses by about 30% and are confident we will avoid many of the chronic illnesses such as cancers, lung and respiratory conditions, high blood and heart disease that are associated with the toxic elements found in most everyday products that most people use freely around their homes and environments.

This condition is aggravated by certain types of foods, mainly legumes as well as toxins and unnatural chemicals in foods and the environment and infections or illnesses. Another strong motivating factor in seeking alternative remedies has been our having to live on a severely restricted budget, see my eBook Living on a Restricted Budget
, this has forced me to find less expensive alternative options for the things we need, to maintain a healthy and comfortable lifestyle.
Natural non-toxic Home and Health Remedies are becoming more popular, especially with health conscious people, not only because they are environmentally friendly, but because they are effective, easy to make and inexpensive. Almost all commercially available healthcare and cleaning products contain a toxic array of chemicals and substances that are harmful to our physical health and the environment in general. Everything that is washed down the sink, into sewerage systems, or place in the rubbish, including many products used around the home to eventually end up in the water table polluting it, finding its way to lakes rivers and eventually the sea. Heavy metals, toxic waste and compounds used in cleaning and body care products can be found in all life forms on earth, as well as the soil and air.
