WebMD on Thursday said it released "My Abuelita Told Me," a five-part bilingual video series developed with Dr. Juan Rivera (known as “Dr. Juan”), a board-certified internist and cardiologist.

"My Abuelita Told Me" explores the reliability of various home remedies, beliefs, and practices that abuelitas (grandmas) have passed down through the generations. Dr. Juan clarifies what is or isn’t accurate using medical science.

The series is offered on both English- and Spanish-language editorial destinations on WebMD.com. Supporting content accompanies the videos, including articles, slideshows, and quizzes, to provide viewers with a look at the various remedies being explored by Dr. Juan.

The episodes focus on everything from home remedies for burns using egg whites and aloe, to treating blood sugar issues with a homemade mixture of raw egg, salt, pepper, lime juice, garlic, and cilantro.
