Home remedy for minor injuries

When I was young, my mother would be using home remedies on us for minor injuries. The medicine cabinet is not really a necessity for that. A bruise is treated by cold compress and better if there is ice. A wound is treated by a chewed leaf of guava that quickly stops the bleeding the wound is dried faster.

I wonder if people still use the home remedy that our elders were using in the olden times. Instead of taking pills and tables, the  home remedy is the best because you do not spend money for the treatment.
