I am now starting to gather a list of Natural Remedies. Please be patient as I start filling this page.
Remember some of these I have tried on myself and other I have not. These are suggestions and should not be used without consulting a Physician. I or any other person which have entered these here or suggested them are NOT and will NOT be responsible for any ill effect these may have on you. Sorry Folks C.M.A. on this one.
I will try to list these by conditions, body part or Ailment. This will be the top list. I will name this HEALING.
The Second Part will be what was suggested to me and I decided to bring when I go camping etc. in case someone needs healing. This will be what I will try to have around the house. I will name this The First Aid Kit.

The First Aid Kit
* The one other thing I NEVER leave the house without is RESCUE REMEDY (Bach), or 5-flower essence (by Flower Essence Services, CA) - FABULOUS - I am very sensitive to the essences...

- Allergies
* Anaflora has a flower remedy that's supposed to reduce a person's allergies to animals -- both the animal(s) and the person take it. I've never tried it as I'm not allergic -- but perhaps someone else has
Sent by Linda- Bites
* A good way to get pretty immediate relief from the itching is to dab some ammonia on the bite -- it doesn't hurt and it takes away the itching very quickly. I also like to use Tea Tree and Lavender oil on bites to help them heal quickly and without infection.
Sent by Linda* Lavender as stated is probably better then what I'll suggest, but if you don't have lavender oil, use toothpaste. I've used it on sandfly bites which calamine lotion wouldn't quell.
Sent by Seri* Try witch hazel (what else?) on your bites..
Sent by Deb- Bruises
* ARNICA is one I would NEVER go anywhere without (spray is topical ONLY for UNBROKEN SKIN - BRUISES, ETC.) - the instant it touches skin - truly amazing homeopathic. (It is under attack by FDA because it is considered the "gateway" homeopathic treatment - the one most folks become familiar with other homeopathic remedies because of - as was the case with us. Daughter had slammed finger with slate lab table top - thought it was shattered - school "trainer" (athletic person) insisted on x-rays (gawd) - which revealed nothing (as expected - lol); so we rushed to health food store to find something to help... Asked lady there what she had, if anything, for such an injury & she offered the arnica spray - I groaned at price (money virtually non- existent here) - was like $7 or so - WISELY, she unwrapped it & let daughter spray on her own finger. AMAZING - like magic - took ALL pain & throbbing away the INSTANT it touched skin. (I think i had a "secret" desire to experience the amazing qualities, as I slammed fingers in car door when we got home - lol! It worked for me just as it had for her!)
Sent by Jan- Ear Problems
* Mix a 1 to 1 mixture of rubbing alcohol and white [only] vinegar rubbed onto the outside entrance of their ear canal with a wet but not dripping q-tip took the pain away in a matter of 2-3 applications 3 or 4 hours apart. More effective than the over the counter ear dry stuff that their step-mom bought.
Sent by Namaste, Ina* slightly warm olive oil in a teaspoon and drip it into the affected ear will stop the ache. Plug the canal with cotton to hold the oil in.
Sent by Jay- Hangover
* Eat a banana before going out and drinking and drink a full glass of water before crashing prevents a hangover.
Sent by Jay- Immune System
* Get some "Emer'Gen-C" and some Echinacea to help boost his immune system. Even some ensure would be better for him than an average milk shake.
Sent by Seri- Liver
* I also had pao de arcola tea (sp?). it is good for the liver (which is important if he is taking ibprofen to reduce swelling).
by Silent Wolf- Mono
* Take echinecea if you are not taking any other blood thinning drugs. Also have pao de arcola tea (sp?). It is good for the liver (which is important if he is taking ibprofen to reduce swelling) and probably will help get rid of the mono slightly faster, cause I think it is anti-viral. Use astralagus, but I don't suggest it, it is an energy booster as well as an anti-viral if I remember what she told me at the time. In some cases it makes you feel better for a while then it makes you go on a down turn. These things were all suggested from the same herbalist, so that is why I'm putting them here, you just got to be careful because herbs can be just as dangerous as drugs and I don't know what else he is taking.

by Silent Wolf* Pau d'Arco would be a very good tea for mono, I believe. I make mine in combo with Yerba Mate Royal (which also contains Stevia, a natural sweetner). Not only does it taste MUCH better that way, the Yerba Mate is a wonderful healing adjunct to the Pau d'Arco. You can learn more about Pau d'Arco at this site:

I order my teas online from Widom Herbs There are probably other places, as well.
Sent by Linda- Nerves
* Also, have read that omega 3 fatty acids & B vitamins can remyianate nerves...
Sent by Moonbeams- Throat Ache
* For throat. apple cider vinegar with honey, I heated up and drank it helped a little. I think the original recipe had a bit of brandy or some alcohol in it, but I don't use the alcoholic version.
Sent by Silent Wolf- Tooth Problems
* For temp relief, try oil of clove (dentists use it in temp fillings - "Calms down the nerve" that is irritated)* Animals: Dribble it directly into the mouth.
Human: Put kitchen table salt in a tea towel, place it in the oven or Microwave for 30 minutes on low. Place it on our pillow and lay the side with the sore tooth on it. Most times never had to go to the Dentist or at least we never had any abscess and the pain stopped almost immediately. Something about the warm salt pulled the pain right out.
Sent by JB- Ulcer
* You might also want to look into Grapefruit Seed Extract (GSE) for the h. pylori see: the following Link under "Ulcers" for more information: I used Reiki and GSE to combat my ulcer problem with great success.
Sent by Seri- Warts
* Cut a Potato in 1/2 and rub the wart with it. It must be the acid or something in the Potato but they dried off and disappeared. Added by Pagan Owl- More to come
