Question of the day: What home remedies do you use for treatment?

Vasily Melnychenko, head of the "Federal Village Council":

- A proper bath and horseradish leaves. You place them on your chest and steam everything out. Any bruises, rashes, or colds - they all pass quickly. The leaves can be fresh, but you can also lightly dry them in the shade and store them in the attic.

Mikhail Vishnevsky, PhD in Biology, mycologist:

- Sometimes I take schisandra berries - they serve as an energy booster.

Valentina Safonova, president of the Association of Russian Florists:

- If you have a runny nose - chop regular onions very finely to maximize the phytoncide content. Place a bowl with the onions next to your pillow at night to inhale throughout the night. It's a great remedy for a runny nose and when your ears feel clogged. Some say you should drip onion juice into your nose - no, that's cruel, it destroys the mucosa, it shouldn't be done. For throat gargling, use sea salt in a strong solution. A universal remedy is dry chamomile. One spoon in a cup brewed with boiling water - and gargle your throat.

Archpriest Maxim (Minyaylo), senior priest of the Church-Memorial on the Blood in Yekaterinburg:

- I was in Uzbekistan - I specifically brought back high-altitude thyme. It has a different taste and is calming. I heard from one priest that horseradish significantly enhances the effects of other remedies. I inhaled this horseradish soaked in water. It really noticeably eases breathing.

Both currants, serviceberries, rowan berries, and blueberries - all berries are permissible and beneficial during fasting. In monastic tradition, a significant portion of dishes is based on berries and herbs.

Vitaly Orlov, cynologist:

- What is considered authoritative, appropriate, and health-promoting in folk medicine can, in one case out of a hundred, turn out to be harmful. I treat the lives of both humans and their four-legged friends very carefully and turn to professionals instead of folk medicine.

Leonid Kholod, former Deputy Minister of Agriculture:

- Tea with raspberry and currant leaves or tea with honey and lemon for colds. In childhood, I applied plantain to wounds. And for pimples - orange chicken blindness leaves. When I had a runny nose, my grandmother dripped aloe juice into my nose. This aloe juice flowed from the narrow spiky leaves like from a bucket. Bitter, it was. And the kombucha stood in a jar, I didn't like how it looked, and I wasn't thrilled with the drink, but I drank it.

Alexander Tikhonov, Olympic biathlon champion:

- I only trust mumiyo. I collected mumiyo myself in the caves of the Altai Mountains. I consumed a ton of it!
