Natural First Aid Kit
Here are some things you should put into your family first aid kit:
- Baking Soda. There are many uses for this inexpensive pantry supply. One, in particular, is to treat bee stings. To do this, you’ll want to remove the stinger and clean the area well. Then, create a paste using water and baking soda and apply it to the wound. It should heal quickly and beautifully.
- Tea Tree Oil. Both antiseptic and antifungal, this wonder oil is a necessity for every natural first aid kit. It can be used to treat earaches, fungal infections, insect bites, and cold sores.
- Aloe Vera Gel. If you don’t have access to an aloe vera plant, you can keep a small bottle of gel in your first aid kit. It’s great for taking the sting out of burns. If you get burned by the stove or burned by the sun and it doesn’t require medical care, apply a liberal amount of unscented gel to the area.
- Honey. Full of antimicrobial properties, a spoonful of honey helps soothe a sore throat. You can also add it to herbal teas to give the beverage some sweetness.
- Chamomile Tea Bags. This herb helps soothe tense muscles and invite sleep. The next time you need to relax fully, sip on a cup of chamomile tea and enjoy sweet slumber.
