Synn Posted October 26, 2005 Share Posted October 26, 2005 What natural herbs, roots, berries etc. you think a person should have on hand. Just a plain and simple list.. For example Elderberries (dried or fresh) - Tincture and Syrup That way I can make a list of things that need to be ordered... Then once I get all that I will look for recipes! Thanks!

gardnmom Posted October 26, 2005 Share Posted October 26, 2005 In this case what you would need in really based on present and potential Medical needs. This should help you figure that out while giving you the info that you are looking for. Herbal and Botanical Medicine Chapter 8 (about page 65) Wild and cultivated Herbs Names, harvesting and preparation. Chapter 9 is alternative therapies. This is a great download to save http://www.aussurvivalist.com/downloads/AM%20Final%202.pdf Link to comment

Guest Guest Posted October 31, 2005 Share Posted October 31, 2005 Feverfew is an anti-inflammatory. Used for migraines, rhumatoid arthritis, fibromyaliga (FMS), allergies to name a few. Yarrow instantly stops bleeding. Does not allow clotting and is best used in places like the nose for nose bleeds (fold leaf in half and stick up nose), used for internal bleeding where is originally gets its name and cuts. Not good on scrapes because it won't allow it to scab (and ya want a scrape to scab) Used in tea to reduce fevers as it has asprin like qualities. There is more but nuff for now.. time for you to do your own homework. Link to comment

moonstar Posted October 31, 2005 Share Posted October 31, 2005 Herbs & regular drugs are common in the fact that not all work for each person. Have to find out what works best for you. Link to comment

Jenee Posted November 6, 2005 Share Posted November 6, 2005 One of my favorites is slippery elm. Slippery elm is used for soothing toothaches, healing scrapes, dispelling constipation, remedy to treat gunshot wounds, a nutritious broth, and has the approval of the Food and Drug Administration as a nonprescription demulcent (soothing agent) for coating and soothing irritated or inflamed mucous membranes. http://www.wholehealthmd.com/refshelf/substances_view/1,1525,10056,00.html Link to comment
