The phrase means:
“This traditional remedy actually works—not merely because older generations swear by it, but because there is a scientific explanation for why it works.”
The reference to “chemistry confirms it” suggests that the ingredients undergo chemical reactions or contain compounds with properties that could explain the remedy’s effects.
However, there’s an important distinction: a chemical explanation doesn’t necessarily prove that a remedy works in people. For example, an ingredient might kill bacteria in a laboratory but not be effective when used as a home remedy. Proper clinical studies are needed to establish effectiveness, appropriate dosage, and safety.
So the statement is essentially combining traditional knowledge + a plausible scientific mechanism, but the strength of the evidence depends on the particular remedy.
If you give me the actual remedy or ingredients this sentence is referring to, I can break down exactly what the chemistry says and whether the evidence really supports it.
