Herbal remedies are essential for autonomy, whether for injuries, infections, or minor inconveniences. A home herb kit allows you to act quickly without resorting to industrial medications: useful, economical, and effective.
This article presents 5 key components to create a natural medicine kit: home remedies, dry products, liquid preparations, balms, and protective plants. A complete, compact, and practical kit.
1. Ginger tea: Relieve digestion and sore throat
Fresh ginger: grate 2 cm of root, boil for 10 to 20 minutes in water. Add honey and a bit of lemon juice. This soothing tea is antispasmodic, anti-inflammatory, and antiviral – ideal for sore throat or nausea.
2. Garlic meat oil: Boost immunity and treat infections
Garlic preparation: roast 30 to 40 cloves of garlic in olive oil, then filter. This garlic infusion is a natural antiseptic useful against respiratory, skin, or digestive infections. It keeps for several weeks.
3. Healing salves: Treat cuts and burns
Herbal balms: mix a vegetable oil (olive, sweet almond, jojoba), medicinal plants (calendula, lavender, plantain), and beeswax. Infuse gently, then filter. These natural salves soothe inflammation, protect, and accelerate healing.
4. Versatile dried plants: Anti-inflammatories and digestives
Dried herb sheets: calendula (anti-inflammatory), chamomile (digestive and calming), echinacea (immunostimulant), ginger (anti-nausea), thyme (antiseptic). Dry and store in small bags. In infusion, poultice, or inhalation, they cover a wide range of needs.
5. Respiratory device: Masks and antiseptics
Basic protection: add a mask (FFP2 type or homemade), saline solution or lavender essential oil-soaked compresses to the kit, to clean wounds or airways. Lavender, myrrh, or oregano are effective in case of infection.
Conclusion
A well-thought-out natural medicine kit can replace many common medications. Easy to store, economical, and versatile, these home remedies ensure autonomy and responsiveness, even in a crisis.
