Herbal remedies can prove highly effective in treating minor health and first aid problems. Cuts, scrapes, headaches, digestive upsets, and so on can be dealt with effectively using just a few herbal products.
Keeping a range of remedies available makes good sense

First aid kit

Selecting herbal remedies to complement a standard first aid kit containing standard items such as adhesive bandages and scissors can bean enjoyable activity. The 10 remedies shown below are readily available in natural pharmacies and health food stores and are useful to have at home for minor domestic emergencies.

The first aid kit consists of

  • Aloe Vera juice
  • Echinacea capsules and tincture
  • Thyme dried herb and essential oil
  • Slippery elm powder or tablets
  • Myrrh tincture
  • Tea tree essential oil
  • Garlic, fresh or capsules or both
  • Arnica ointment/cream
  • Comfrey ointment/cream
  • Lavender essential oil

Note :

Creams and ointments should not be put on open wounds: use water, aloe vera (Aloe vera), or witch hazel (Hamamelis virginiana) water to wash cuts and scrapes, and then bathe with diluted echinacea (Echinacea spp.) or myrrh (Commiphora molmol) tincture.
Warning! This will disinfect the area but will sting painfully for a short time. Burns should be held under cold water for at least 10 minutes before applying aloe vera or
lavender (Lavendula spp.) essential oil.
