folk cure
Grandmother's healing method
A folk cure is a traditional remedy passed down through generations, typically outside formal medicine.
Folk cures rely on herbs, rituals, or household ingredients: My grandmother's folk cure for hiccups was a spoonful of sugar.
Some have proven effective; others persist through belief alone.
