Folk Remedies on the Fly:
I was sitting in a fast food restaurant, I confess! I had shopped til I almost dropped so I stopped at Jack’s and got a grilled chicken salad.
Next to my table were two senior couples having lively and wonderful conversation which I didn’t even try to keep from overhearing.
I hear one of the women say that she just had not been able to get her appetite back since getting sick that summer.
Her friend replied with wisdom that can only be gained from experience and handed down, Grandmother to Grandmother.
Folk Remedy for regaining your appetite:
Boil you some Irish Potatoes
and some Kraut and eat onions with it.
When I asked the lady why she thought that helped bring the appetite back she said she didn’t know but it did. I think I believe her.
Unexplained loss of appetite can certainly be caused by a prolonged or difficult illness, as was the case with the lady at Jacks but it can also have other causes, particularly in the elderly including depression and as a result of prescription drugs.
