Herbal First Aid Kit

Because I avoid synthetic medicines and remedies, standard First Aid kits that can be purchased from the store seem mostly useless to me.  They are filled with packets of pain killers, antibiotic ointments, and other synthetic treatments.  As a result, I do not even own a First Aid kit.

The thought recently occurred to me that I could make my own using natural remedies.  After a quick search online, I came across a site that had all the information I needed to make a fabulous natural alternative.

This website describes the items you will need to buy, primarily treatments made from herbs and essential oils.  It also lists additional First Aid material that you come to expect in a standard kit, including bandages, scissors, tweezers, etc.  They have also included a handy list of remedies that can be made using the items you will keep stocked in your kit.

Some of the remedies listed include:
... anxiety
... blisters
... burns
... diarrhea
... insect bites and stings
... jet lag
... poison oak/ivy
... and several others

I asked my herbalist friend what she thought and she gave this Herbal First Aid kit a thumbs up, describing it as being very accurate and helpful.
