53: DOCTOR QUACK QUACK | Folk Medicine Part 1
In this episode, we're diving into the world of Philippine folk medicine, where the cure for your sniffles might just be under your kitchen sink—or in your backyard. Who needs a doctor when you've got chickens and vinegar at the ready?
Join us as we explore remedies that range from the bizarre to the bewildering. Ever thought about dodging diseases by tossing flowers on top of a casket? Or maybe you prefer wearing crocodile teeth for that extra bit of health insurance. And if you're feeling brave, learn why you should consider a fiesta over a pharmacy visit next time you're feeling ill.
We'll also tackle the ultimate protection racket—how your pets might be more than just cute companions, they could be your disease bodyguards. Plus, don't miss out on our guide to turning your garden into a disease-free zone with nothing but some pretty flowers.
So brew a cup of that special May rainwater tea, settle in, and let’s get quacky with ancient wisdom that could either be a lifesaver or just a really good story!
Disclaimer: “Doctor Quack Quack” refers to the BEST GAME EVER from our childhoods. It’s not meant to refer to the term “quack doctors,” which, unfortunately, is what colonizer accounts referred to our folk healers – boo.
