They say mothers know best. Indeed, our mothers seem to have magical healing powers. We may find the best of doctors and a whole lot of tips on the internet about how to heal ourselves when we fall sick, but when it comes to finding cure to common aliments, we all immediately run to our mommies. Even as adults. Here are some thing that prove that your mother is the best doctor in the whole wide world.

When you have a cold, she believes in using only Vicks Vaporub to give you some relief from a stuffy nose for good 8 hours so you sleep like a baby.

And remember how she would lovingly apply it on your back, chest and feet before putting on socks so you'd stay warm and sleep well.

If you have an embarrassing case of gas, Mom would make you have methi daana.
