Use of home remedies: a cross-sectional survey of patients in Germany

Conclusions: These results provide an initial overview on the use of home remedies from the patient's perspective in a German context. Bearing in mind the high use of home remedies that was reported by patients in the study, it is highly likely that GPs in Germany may need to advise patients on their use of home remedies during consultations. To this end, given the scarcity of reliable information on home remedies, further research is needed.
