About Home Remedy Shop
Home Remedy Shop is a family project about natural remedies that are honest about what they can and can’t do. Every guide is checked against published research and medically reviewed by a chiropractor with more than 30 years of practice. Founded by Montoya Sigafoose, with her mother Veronique Claes d’Erckenteel, D.C. by her side.
Meet the Founder
I’m Montoya Sigafoose, the founder of Home Remedy Shop and a third generation advocate for natural living. I grew up in a family of chiropractors, where a fever, a cold sore or a sore throat was met with herbs, food and rest before anything else.
The sceptic who studied medicine to prove her mother wrong
Being raised so differently from the other kids in my class made me sceptical. I wanted to know who was right, so I studied medicine for two years, honestly, to prove my mother wrong. Instead, I discovered how the body actually works, and what it really means to support it rather than only treat the symptoms. That’s when I started to understand what my mother had been doing all along.
Today I’m a mother myself, and I raise my family with the same principles: herbs, essential oils, real food and well chosen supplements, combined with the insights of scientific research and the knowledge passed down through three generations. I bring my background in SEO and online publishing to make that knowledge easy to find and easy to use.
Our Medical Reviewers
Every health article on Home Remedy Shop is checked by a medical reviewer before it’s published, and the reviewer’s name and the review date are shown on the article.
Veronique Claes d’Erckenteel, D.C.
Chiropractor since 1991 · Writer and medical reviewer
Veronique is a second generation chiropractor at Chiropractie Plus in Gistel, Belgium. She works closely with radiologists, trauma specialists and other health professionals, and has read widely on herbal remedies, supplements and the connection between mind, body and health. She checks every article against the research, adds the safety notes and makes sure it says clearly when to see a doctor.
How We Research and Review
- Research first: every health claim is checked against published studies, mostly from PubMed and Google Scholar, and linked in the article.
- Honest about evidence: we say when something is proven in people, only tested in the lab, or based on experience.
- Comfort and support, not cures: we never promise a remedy will cure a condition.
- Safety notes: for babies, children, pregnancy and anyone taking medication.
- When to see a doctor: every guide tells you clearly when natural care isn’t enough, and which kind of doctor to see.
- Transparent about partners: affiliate links are always marked, and we only recommend products we would use ourselves.
What You’ll Find Here
- Natural remedies: practical guides for common, everyday ailments, from cold sores to coughs.
- Nutrition and supplements: immune supporting foods and supplements, and how to fit them into family life.
- Holistic wellness: ancestral wisdom side by side with what current research shows.
- Raising a natural family: what I’ve learned raising my own family the natural way.
