There are various home remedies in every country. It is quite interesting that because of the cultural and traditional differences these remedies differ greatly among countries. Many of these home remedies that are used by people today have been around for thousands of years and you can hear about them in mythological stories.
One mythological story in Japan is called, ‘The White Rabbit of Inaba'. There was a white rabbit that was stripped of its skin by a crocodile and was crying out in awful pain. It told its story to God Okuninushi who was passing by. Then God Okuninushi said, ‘Go to the shore and clean your body, make a bed of cattail plant and roll on it.’ The rabbit did exactly what God Okuninushi said, then its wounds healed instantly. The cattail plant’s pollen is now used as a medicine for external injuries.
Some home remedies could be scientifically baseless. However, not all of these remedies are ineffective as the story of ‘The White Rabbit of Inaba’ illustrated.
