# Salt in Your Sock and Other Tried-and-True Home Remedies

Dr. Lillian Beard, a practicing pediatrician in Silver Spring, Md., discussed her book "Salt in Your Sock and Other Tried-and-True Home Remedies." The event was sponsored by the Library's Science, Technology and Business Division, Health Services Office and LC Child Care Association. Beard, an associate clinical professor at the George Washington University School of Medicine and the medical contributor on ABC-TV's "Good Morning Washington," compiled hundreds of family recipes for wellness from her patients and colleagues during a 30-year period of practicing medicine. According to Beard, as long as there have been grandmothers, tight budgets and sniffles, there have been home remedies. Beyond chicken soup, the kitchen can be a gold mine for products that alleviate many common ailments.
