Healthy First Aid Kit
Making our lives as toxic-free as possible contributes towards better health. Have you thought about what goes in a first aid kit that is as toxic-free and natural as possible? There are some surprisingly effective first-aid natural products.
Capsules keep well in a first aid kit. They are also convenient in emergency situations. You can open one (or more) at a time and make an instant paste for bug bites, cuts, and burns.
Capsules are convenient in an emergency. Make Handy-Dandy-Emergency-Paste
- open capsule in palm of clean hand (or in the lid of the bottle)
- drop water on to it, a drop at a time until it makes a paste consistency
- mix together with a clean finger or cotton swab
- place on skin to draw out toxins, stop bleeding, stop itching, etc.

Digestive trouble, indigestion, food poisoning, etc — Apple Cider Vinegar – organic with “mother”
- I keep a bottle of organic Apple Cider Vinegar with “the mother” in my first aid kit and another in the kitchen
- Take 1 teaspoon per 8 ounces of water every hour, it helps shorten the duration of any type of illness, though kids will not likely cooperate due to taste

Headache — there are many sources of headaches, so not all remedies will solve all headaches
- Peppermint and Lavender Essential Oils rubbed on temples and forehead
- Anica pellets – homeopathic pellets for pain relief

- Magnesium – most people have very low magnesium levels, causing headaches
- Magnesium may prevent the wave of brain signaling, called cortical spreading depression, which produces the visual and sensory changes that are common when experiencing a headache, especially a migraine. Magnesium can block the pain-transmitting chemicals in the brain, and it can improve platelet function, which will help your body react to injuries and prevent bleeding. ~ Dr. Axe
