Medications worth acquiring for emergencies

[Denise/Dizi]

I realized a few years back, as many were kept from being able to obtain possibly life saving medications during CoVid, that there is a real need to be able to have access to proper medications that could be life saving for an emergency... And given how quickly access to proper meds were cut off during CoVid, I feel it is important to have them BEFORE you actually need them...

I recently found a list of medications that were being sold as a kit, and would appreciate if others could add to it.. in case I missed the obvious... I do have a small supply of several medications, 4 of which appear on this list, but there has to be some I am missing that would serve more broad based uses...

Also good wound care and a good kit for stitches for cuts and breaks would be a good thing to have for a SHTF situation... I have an older but very thorough set of medical encyclopedias... They're not as current as I would like but have enough for an emergency situation...

Is there anything anyone else would ad to the list? Make it as long as you feel is helpful, for things I may not have even considered...

Multi use items are even better, such as salves, ointments, cleansing products for abrasive type injuries, etc..

This list is mostly for medications that would require a prescription, but over the counter helpers are appreciated as well...

The kit included:

Amoxicillin-Clavulanate
Azithromycin (z-pak)
Doxycycline
Trimethoprim-Sulfamethoxazole (Bactrim)
Metronidazole (Flagyl)
Ivermectin
Fluconazole (Diflucan)
Ondansetron (Zofran)

As I said, I currently have 4 of the items on the list as well as several other things set aside in small quantities... But I also consider the fact that some people may have allergic reactions to some things, so a variety may be useful... And benadryl, while over the counter... is a MUST....

Thanks in advance.

I recently found a list of medications that were being sold as a kit, and would appreciate if others could add to it..

Dr Peter McCullough's The Wellness Company is recommending these to have in stock in the event of Bird Flu or worse, and they offer to provide them on an instantly granted prescription.

This is their Emergency Contagion Kit: (https://twc.health/products/covid-emergency-kit) (Note: they offer other 'kits' of bundled meds as well, all listed here (https://www.twc.health/pages/medical-kits))


Azithromycin (generic Z-Pak) 250 mg - 12 tablets
Budesonide 0.5 mg/2 mL – 10 vials (plus nebulizer included)
Hydroxychloroquine 200 mg -20 tablets
Ivermectin 12 mg – 25 tablets
Oseltamivir 75 mg (generic Tamiflu) - 10 tablets

(Personally, I might get some Ivermectin and HCQ, and trust the rest to my immune system. :) I have a cheap but effective little nebulizer, but have only ever used it with a combo of colloidal silver, oregano and peppermint oil.)

[Denise/Dizi]

Peppermint oil, what is that used for Bill??? And a nebulizer is a great idea!

I believe thus far, I have, (without looking...)

hydroxychloroquine
ivermectin
cipro
Amoxicillin-Clavulanate
Azithromycin (z-pak)
Doxycycline

I am hoping I have covered all of the bases when it comes to antibiotics.... or treatments for the most common ailments... But there are so many little things I have yet to consider...

I also consider that I am highly allergic to many things so a great antihistime is a must in my kit.. And I plan to update my basics, like having ipecac and such in my kit. Of course I have bandages, scissors, etc.. But when looking in my medicine cabinet I can't help but be shocked at just how many items we buy for daily life inconveniences... Decongestants, cough drops for colds, etc... ibuprofen, or tylenol, etc... We have a ton of all of that. I am almost ashamed at how much we rely on modern day pills...

I plan to go through the cabinet and make sure that we have new, unopened supplies of the things we tend to rely on the most...

[Bill Ryan]

Peppermint oil, what is that used for Bill??? And a nebulizer is a great idea!

It's a mild antibacterial and antiviral, it's VERY good for teeth and gums (I brush my teeth with it as a toothpaste substitute), and I find that if I have even the tiniest early tickling in my throat a few drops of peppermint oil in the back of my throat makes it go away almost immediately. :muscle:

[Spiral]

Sutures for sewing up wounds, and an iodine wound cleaner like Betadine

Sutures are only sold as "practice" or "practice kits" in the uk, they still work fine, you might want to get a pair of those surgical grips too. It's easy to push the needle in, the hard bit is where it comes out on the other side of the wound, you"ll need to hold the skin down or it will pull on the wound.

Might sound gory but it's not that bad, if SHTF hospitals are probably best avoided.

Merck makes ivermectin under the brand name Stromectol. Can we trust Merck? Is there a company that people can truly trust?

[wondering]

I recommend Sovereign Silver, or similar bioactive silver hydrosol. I strongly recommend Dr Nordykes New Zealand Wound Honey.
It never goes bad and is an excellent healer for wounds. I used it when I was caring for Ron for skin breakdown, and the Hospice nurse was even impressed. Fairly reasonably priced. Also, an inexpensive bottle of calamine lotion, over the counter and useful for poison ivy and the like. And generic full strength aspirin. Many uses and keeps a long time, although aspirin is problematic for some people.

My medicine kit >>

A variety of therapeutic grade essential oils- including peppermint, clove, citrus, cinnamon, pine, ( frankincense, myrrh, sandalwood; for spiritual clearing )
A variety of dried herbs- including peppermint, chamomile, olive, orange peel, licorice, dandelion, comfrey, burdock, clove, nettle
Lavender oil tincture <-- the kind made with alcohol *this is for bites and literally almost anything that itches
A variety of salts, clays and charcoals
Cascara sagrada
Ashwagandha Root Powder
Wormwood tincture(s)
Uva Ursi tincture *bladder infections
Ginger *diuretic
Ceylon cinnamon
Honey
Aloe

As of a couple years ago, I also keep on hand a variety of common pain relievers
(for potential future emergencies)

Peppermint is what I use more than anything. I would describe it as a strong overall intentional cleanser and deterrent for any pathogenic type of 'bug' ( bacteria, virus, fungus, mite, etc.. ). It works the entire intestinal tract, mouth to rectum. Mostly it will be felt in the stomach, which is greatly relieved by this wonderful plant.

Speaking of pain relievers, have you used wild lettuce? I have not used it yet but apparently it is effective but not addictive like an opiate drug. I have a couple of friends who swear by it for pain, which often accompanies emergencies. Here is an article about it: https://www.primalsurvivor.net/wild-lettuce/

[Jamie]

ANTI-HISTAMINE... Whether prescription or over the counter.
It's one of those simple medicines that often gets overlooked for first aid kits.

There's this mind set that it's just for hayfever season, but it's for any kind of allergic reaction/skin rashes.

I also carry three pure essential oils - Lavender (for wounds), Eucalyptus (for respiratory complaints) and Peppermint (for stomach complaints & diarrhoea).

[Hym]

Tamiflu? From the wellness company? When we see such a company suddenly being adopted by a large number of health practitioners and the companies they represent, shouldn't we do at least a minimum of research on who is backing the push, who is doing all of the marketing?

Did all of the reports of the Japanese on all of the suicides committed by teenagers soon after taking Tamiflu somehow get mysteriously removed from the net? No. Not yet, except for the "new" studies which were pharma pushed that "concluded" those deaths and side effects were anomalies.

Was the large store of pre-purchased lots from those countries suddenly reacquisitioned and repurposed? Even after the Japanese Gov't. recalled all of the doses back in the early 2000's?
Has the product been reformulated and subsequently clinically retested for the appearance of such extreme adverse reactions, or NOT?

I do see that most of those natural, organic ingredients noted above have been proven to be effective against the ill effects from exposure to the most recent bio-weapon and it's variants, as well as being proven to be effective treatments for other common ailments. However, due diligence is always necessary before taking on the entirety of any new companies product line.

BEWARE of not only those reports that are current, but also those that rewrite and coverup previous data proving adverse reactions to pharmaceuticals that proved the existence of unusual side effects. In the case of this particular concoction the adverse drug reactions of depression, suicidal tendencies and suicide itself were stark, then and now.

It does make so much more sense to personally evaluate our own bodies reactions to natural products, long before taking an over the counter or even a prescribed medicinal. It is wise to consider our entire bodily systems as being highly sensitive to the vibrance alive in these natural ingredients by using these plant medicines with that in mind, taking much smaller doses than we are used to taking when using such unnatural medicines with all of their unnecessary ingredients.

By now the proof of the deeply deceptive motivations and actions of the pharma class have proven to be life shortening and, as in the case of the current mandates, deadly for millions. Most here, at least by now, know that the vast majority of marketed medicines are not designed to truly heal, but exist only to make the commoner permanent patients of the modern medical cult.

Yes yes yes to everything here, plus, Oil Of Oregano (minimum 86% carvacol - thymol 2%) A powerhouse - antibacterial, antioxidant, antifungal, anti inflammatory. Helps you to sail through respiratory illnesses as well as other lurgys. I recommend the Zane Hellas Greek one.

There is a lot of concern in alternative circles that some products could be contaminated with nanoparticles/synthetic biology. Some people on Substack have bought products and put them under their microscopes. Some they found contamination in are: dental anaesthetics, insulin, iodine, zeolite and famotidine. I don't know about the famotidine, but the others were all liquids.

I bought ivermectin through a link on this man's Substack, took it and had no ill effects: https://www.2ndsmartestguyintheworld.com/p/15-minutes-with-dr-makis-episode?publication_id=400535&post_id=145569172&isFreemail=true&r=1vlt8f&triedRedirect=true&utm_source=substack&utm_medium=email. (This is his new article, but it has a link to ivermectin on it.) It is expensive ($80 US for 2 boxes), but I would buy it from them again because I think it is clean.

Re: some remedies worth having:

Dr. Peter McCullough has written about hudroxychloroquine as a remedy for bird flu:https://substack.com/home/post/p-144925335

Dr. Ana Maria Mihalcea has a protocol for removing nanotechnology. There are several things in it, including EDTA, but part of it is to use two drops each of cinnamon oil, grapefruit oil and lemon oil in a veggie cap, twice a day with food. Thieves oil can be used instead, but hers is milder on the stomach. The reasoning behind this part of her protocol is that essential oils can dissolve plastic, and nanotechnology seems to have synthetic polymers in it.

Many people are also using enzymes against nanotechnology: like lumbrokinase, nattokinase, serrapeptase, quercetin with bromelain, and NAC. You take it several hours after you have had food, otherwise the enzymes will digest your food, rather than purifying your system. I take them before bed.

I think the remedies you will stockpile is based on your belief system about what challenges you are likely to face. If you think the environment is likely polluted with nanoparticles, which could be -- and maybe have been activated by EMP frequencies to produce disease -- these are some of the things you might keep on hand.

It is a very big topic to look at all the research and recommended remedies for this, more than one post for sure.

[Sunny]

And finally --

I think everyone should have a homeopathic flu remedy at home. A good one for stomach flus is Oscillococcinum. It comes in little cannisters. Use the smallest amount you can get on your tongue. You can use each cannister around ten times.

It is good to have a bottle of Bach Rescue Remedy. Its purpose is to change the energy around crisis situations so that it is no longer an emergency. The body reacts to many situations as an emergency: boils, wasp stings, being about to throw up -- as well as to car accidents, etc. -- so Rescue Remedy is very versitile.

If you are interested in using homeopathy -- which I think works for man-made illnesses as well as natural ones -- you can get on your search engine and put in "homeopathy for ___". It will give you a list of remedies to choose from. You can even put in "homeopathy for marburg" or "homeopathy for ebola" if you want

Some that I keep around the house are:

arsenicum album -- for when you are vomiting and have diarrhea at the same time

aconite -- for when you are becoming ill quickly

antimonium tartaricum -- for when you are getting ill and are getting weaker and weaker, and all you want to do is lie down

these three remedies work well with respiratory infections. 30C will probably work.

another interesting remedy is Thuja -- if you were vaccinated, and you are having symptoms in the moment that you think might be from the vaccine, Thuja might help.

I have not, but I will look into this! Thank you.

Bill, I have been very put off by the taste of Oil of Oregano....how do you take it and how much?Different people have very varying levels of tolerance for oregano oil. I'm fortunate in that I can tolerate it well, and I take it as 12-15 drops in a tablespoon of olive oil. But that's a LOT at once, and I'd recommend anyone who's not used to it to try just a couple of drops at a time and then maybe progress from there.

But you can also get it in small tasteless capsules, and I'd highly recommend these from Puritan's Pride: (https://www.puritan.com/oregano-547/oregano-1500-mg-006555) :thumbsup: (Though there are many other good brands which I've not tried which offer the same thing)

https://avalonlibrary.net/Bill/Oil_of_Oregano.jpg

[wondering]

Thank you for your input, Bill. It never occurred to me to check for capsules (duh), and I've ordered them.

[Ravenlocke]

Question:

For those that keep the strong antibiotics that need a prescription shouldnt you also include Probiotics?

Casey,

I really like your list! :flower:

I have the quercetin, Nac, and Serrapeptase along with vitamins, lutein, selenium, potassium, magnesium, calcium, zinc, iodine, boron, milk thistle extract (silymarin) for liver detox, but recently I added Glutathione supplement for mercury detox.

[Denise/Dizi]

There are some wonderful ideas here... I am definately taking notes. Thank You all.

I plan to go through my medicine cabinet to see what items we tend to buy the most, and stock up on those as well... as there is a great deal of wisdom when suggesting that we all have different needs... THAT is an understatement!

[palehorse]

Thanks Denise for starting it!

I have all the basics, like suture needles, syringes and needles, bandages, plasters, iodine, aspirins, painkillers, etc.. all in a EMS bag ready to carry with me if needed. I need to get some quercetin, hydroxycloroquin, ivermec another 2 or 3 boxes, some tamiflu (for the next scamdemic).. but I would like to complement with essential oils, like Bill mentioned peppermint and oregano, I want to get both seems like good idea to have them ready available.

I am taking ginseng right now, I noticed great changes in my energy levels for the last few months, so I would add ginseng to the list too, powerful plant if you need a boost. I made some tinctures of chaga and reishi mushrooms, they are ready to use now, it is a home made extraction with ethyl alcohol and I got 800ml for both mushrooms (that will last forever, we use a drop or two only per day), this is quite a lot if transferred into small dropper bottles, I think I will just keep in the glass as it is and use a longer dropper to collect it, I tried with my coffee days ago, not bad! but for those who are sensitive to alcohol, better stick with the hot water extraction (aka tea).

One thing I am going to do very soon, my own protein bar with oats, pumpkin and sunflower seeds + nuts and store it in mylar bags inside a sealed bucket (small bucket holds quite a lot of bars), I treat food and natural medicine as same category, and I keep big pharma items in a separate bag, anything synthetized has its own bag.

Lately I am doing a lot of things on my own, it started few years ago, when I realized I could do most of the things I am doing, rather buying it from companies, here is one tremendous example (at least for me lol), I had this amulet made in gold, the amulet is a star of David or Star of Moloch/Baal if you may, so I decided I want to melt it into a small gold button, I went to a company and asked them to do that for me, just to know they charged me 250 US dollars for the work, I told them their service worth more than the gold itself (it is not pure gold, 96%), I took my gold back home and decide to learn how to melt it by myself, it is easy and take almost no time doing it, you can even shape it the way you want, basically you need a crucible and a heat source (I used wife's cooking gun attached to a small gas bottle), the point I am writing it, many things we can do ourselves and it will save a whole lot of money (not time), but that is trade.

[Abondance]

My pharmacy is almost exclusively composed of supplements, except a painkiller for emergencies.
It is obviously composed according to the problems I usually face, but here are some products that I recommend generally ( that have not been quoted ).

*Propolis and grapefruit seed extract for all types of infection ( attention to propolis for allergic to hive products and no grapefruit for people who are on anti-coagulant).
*Blackcurrant (buds/ gemmotherapy), a real Swiss army knife and a super anti-inflammatory, and joint pain reliever.
*Olivier (buds too), for the cardiovascular system, blood thinner and improvement of cognitive functions.
*Clay ( very cheap, for poultice, and internally for digestive problems and remineralizing cure)
*Charcoal ( digestive system, anti-poison)
*Vit C
*Nigari (magnesium chloride) remineralizing, anti-fatigue, immune system strengthening and many other applications. Very cheap, disgusting to drink and laxative at the beginning of the cure.

To grow in pots on your balcony, or in your garden, all the possible aromatics, thyme, oregano, rosemary, mint, parsley etc. For those who are in the tropics, see with the local traditional plants.

A good book on medicinal plants and edible wild plants are also a good investment :)

[Mari]

Bill, I have been very put off by the taste of Oil of Oregano....how do you take it and how much?


Bill is right - people have different tolerances to this taste.
I take just two drops in a teaspoon of olive oil, as a maintenance dose - the full dose is four drops. and I for one feel a lot of 'heat' from just the two drops, which btw is recommended when you first start taking it. You can also take it with water.

As an aside, I have a high tolerance for 'yukky medicine tastes' as I had it drummed into me as a child, that if it caused you face to screw up it was doing you good ;)

I have a homeopathic for Covid. Good as a prophylactic and if symptoms develop. This formula was developed in India where homeopathy is very popular.



Some that I keep around the house are:

arsenicum album -- for when you are vomiting and have diarrhea at the same time

aconite -- for when you are becoming ill quickly

antimonium tartaricum -- for when you are getting ill and are getting weaker and weaker, and all you want to do is lie down

Arsenicum is good for hay fever

also good to have Arnica. good for any injury, fall ,sprain, fracture. Good for surgery including dental work such as extractions. Start taking an hour before surgery then every fifteen minutes after the procedure. You will recover much faster and better

I am surprised that cayenne pepper has not yet been mentioned. It is #1 on my emergency list. Whether it is to stop bleeding from a wound or stop a heart attack, cayenne is the first thing to reach for, IMO. Cayenne is a styptic so it stops bleeding and it can and should be applied to a wound. Dr. Christopher recommends drinking a teaspoon of cayenne powder in a cup of water for a heart attack (hot or warm water preferred but only if time allows) and even when receiving a deep wound.

Cayenne is often a staple in the kitchen for most people so it is readily available at home. However, I always have cayenne powder in the glove box of my car so I always have it handy. I lost the tip of my index finger on my left hand on a construction job, which is bad news for a gittar picker. I made a paste out of cayenne and comfrey powder and molded a cast around the tip of my finger. I bandaged it to keep it on until it hardened like a cast. It did not fall off. After three weeks I removed it and lo and behold I had grown a new tip on my finger!

It was a bit tender at first but I soon started playing my gittar again and it toughened up until I got my calluse back.

"Deep Cut: A person in our audience told how he had cut deeply with a sharp instrument the inside of his hand, fingers and palm. The blood spurted out in streams. He poured a large amount of cayenne pepper into the wound, and within seconds the blood flow slowed down to congealed dripping and the bleeding stopped entirely before many seconds had passed. With a goodly amount of cayenne covering the wound, he then wrapped it. He was so excited about the rapid results he could hardly wait for the regular herb meeting. But, as he said, the "punch line" was lost, because instead of a nasty ragged scar to show how severely he had been hurt, the area was healed and there was no scar." For more info about cayenne: https://www.herballegacy.com/Cayenne.html

"Cayenne pepper should be in everyone’s first aid kit. If you have a severe cut which is bleeding profusely, apply cayenne pepper, a powerful styptic, directly into the wound. The cayenne will equalize the blood pressure and start the coagulating of blood immediately. It is a powerful disinfectant so there is no need to worry about infection setting in. My family has been using cayenne in this manner for years and, as a result, take what others consider miraculous results for granted." -- From a good article about cayenne pepper (capsicum): https://humbleweed.net/articles/cayenne-pepper/

Comfrey is a well-known healing herb but not necessarily for emergencies.

[Denise/Dizi]

I am going to share why I started this thread below... Because I feel it is a true "Turn around" story, based upon the efforts of those here on PA who have been sharing their knowledge and experiences.

About a month ago, my father in law left town to go to his second home, and got very sick while away... Too sick to bother with trying to find a new Dr. to be seen, he was down, and not going anywhere... We overnighted a care package to him, and by 10am the next morning, he had the tools he needed to begin to recover, without having to try to get out in that condition, and seek treatment... and after a few days, he was well enough to come back home...

Many know my husband was told, while in the ICU for CoVid, that he would be there for weeks more, and most likely would need to be placed on a ventilator... It was the efforts and information shared here, that allowed me to wield the tools I needed to demand they change his therapy, and be his advocate even while not being allowed to see him.

I was able to tell him how to demand the off label usage of ivermectin, and he did just that. They had him sign release of liability paperwork, and as soon as his pen left the paper, his Dr. suggested they were having "good results" elsewhere using that therapy. He was released to go home less than 48 hours later. They knew this but couldn't tell anyone, and instead, were pumping Remdesiver into people... Him included, and I was able to stop that before a second and potentially life ending result, due to the side effects.

Back to my father in law... A HARD CORE VAX USER AND SUPPORTER... I finally won him over, and for the first time ever, he resigned to allowing me to talk to him about what ivermectin does, how it helped my husband, and he allowed me to add some things to HIS medicine cabinet, especially at his second home. Especially after he was so ill, and 2 days later was well enough to not only come home, but to also tow a very long fifth wheel behind his really big truck. He was MUCH BETTER...

Given this rare opportunity to stock him up with real tools, I sent extra items for any emergency I had help for. Just in case he found himself in a situation down at his second home ever again, he would have some tools to help himself, as he is 77, and a minor illness sidelines him quickly... He DID take the shots and the boosters... I worry about him. He now knows that while Dr.s and hospitals serve a purpose, sometimes they are not the best option... It's a start.

This was really what sparked my starting the thread. When we learned he was sick, and that he wasn't getting better, I had a half hour before the shipping "Cut off time" for a package to arrive to him in the morning, and I was racing the clock. I was able to send him everything he needed, and a variety of items, just in case he determined for himself that one item may be more useful than the other... (He knew his body, and symptoms better than I could)... Along with instructions s to how to use each item and how often. I even sent him a lollipop...

He now calls me "Nurse Denise", but really I have all of you to thank for his recovery, and the recovery of my husband when he was forced to go to the ICU during CoVid. If I didn't have the knowledge of the "Off label usage clause" for medications, for treatments of conditions not responding to protocol treatments? I truly believe my husband would have died. Because of the information gained here, I learned how to legally force the hospital to allow him the actual treatment he needed from the hospital, rather than what they determined they would offer to him.

And I knew just how important it is, to have a well stocked cabinet of options, given the situation we could ever face in the future. I have spent a great deal of money stocking mine, and would rather let it go to waste than have to use it... But it is there, should I ever need it...

To say my father in law has been repeatedly surprised by my tenacity is an understatement, as this gentlemen tried in earnest to talk the family into the "Shot", thinking we were severely "inept" in taking care of ourselves, if we refused to do so... He even threatened to not allow my husband to work in his business if he DIDN'T take the shot... And he learned quickly that we were more prepared than he ever was...

He shunned the ivermectin idea, until he saw first hand that my forcing the hospital to give it to my husband, based upon knowedge I gained here, saved him from a respirator...

It took THAT to get my father in laws attention...

He didn't think I knew anything, yet I was more effective in helping my husband, from afar, than the staff at the hospital, who were bound by regulations and "Guidelines"... Oddly enough? I was the only member of our family than wasn't bed ridden during the entire CoVid situation... Whie I did get it, it was like a minr inconvience, and I think that is due to preventative medicines, such as Oil of Oregano (Thank you Bill), and a small dose of ivermectin when my husband got very sick...

And he now has ivermectin in his medicine cabinet, hydroxychloroquine, several antibiotics, and Z pacs, and a whole host of other items for symptom treatment such as congestion, etc... rather than a vax "booster card" in his wallet. He used to carry that card with him like a badge of honor... I haven't seen it in at least a year now, and he tells us when he isn't feeling well... Which isn't often fortunately.

So there are victory stories of some "Coming around after the fact"... I wanted to share this, because many feel very frustrated that they cannot "Wake people up"... It's a small victory, as this man is very headstrong.. So be proud of your efforts here. They matter..

Sadly he DID convince mom to take the shot, and she began to get very ill almost immediately, passing out while standing up, and she passed away from a heart attack last year... And for some, sadly I think they would rather go to the grave than admit to themselves they may have made a mistake. And I think as the stories of sudden heart attacks, and bloodclots surface, he is quietly pondering the possibility that he convinced her to take something that may have proven fatal, given her already weak health.

So I do hope that anyone who stumbles onto the thread, is taking notes as I am, based upon what others are suggesting works for them... All too often, we are told what someone wants us to take, and not our true options...

Having options listed here, and for what purpose is priceless information. And I thank You all from the bottom of my heart for sharing them... Many of which I have never heard of, but you bet I am going to be looking them up and determining if I could make some space for them in my own cabinet!

I'm continually surprised, when these questions come up, that there is never a mention of MMS Sodium dichlorite solution.
Can be used with DMSO to reach areas not usually attainable as it is a carrier.
If you do not have access to antibiotics, this antiviral/bacterial is as good as any of them.

DMSO

Eye Health: one of the ways I use DMSO is I make up a batch of DMSO (https://www.amazon.com/DMSO-Dimethyl-sulfoxide-Pharmaceutical-Heiltropfen/dp/B00ZNV5N8U/ref=cm_cr_arp_d_product_top?ie=UTF8) (Pharmaceutical grade) eye drops every 3 months.

2 oz glass bottles (https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00V73OA6O?ref=nb_sb_ss_w_as-reorder_k0_1_11&amp=&crid=6O3NCLLTS0MQ&amp=&sprefix=eye+dropper), with glass eye droppers
30-40% DMSO
60-70% distilled water
teeny-tiny pinch of salt (to preserve)
2 squirts liquid Vitamin C (https://www.amazon.com/dp/B087F3N9HK?ref=ppx_yo2ov_dt_b_product_details&th=1)
One-two drops twice a day.



NOTE: Do not use DMSO inside the eye if you have a false lens from cataract replacement surgery, as the DMSO can blur the lends. Instead you can apply it over the skin of a closed eye twice a day. Amandha Vollmer, Healing with DMSO, pg. 69.


MMS & Waterpik


I clean the waterpik monthly with 2T vinegar + warm water, then run warm water a 2nd time with 4 drop of each MMS, ie sodium chlorite solution and activator.

This is an informative vid on the type of bacteria that thrives in a non-oxygen environment. I found it on “How to use your waterpik” @ 15:53 (https://youtu.be/hNCChIWnsoM?si=wNQiNYYXAG8Vhlxv&t=953).




“When the water hits the side of the tooth, it creates that vacuum in the pocket and pulls out plaque, bacteria and food debris. The wand is creating oxygen along with the water spray. And the oxygen when it goes under the gum tissue it's killing bacteria that live without oxygen because there is no oxygen under your gum tissue. Oxygen pumped in so is ultimate killer of bad bacteria.

Can bacteria survive without oxygen?

Anaerobic bacteria are germs that can survive and grow where there is no oxygen. For example, they can thrive in human tissue that is injured and does not have oxygen-rich blood flowing to it.

WOW!

I had no idea about a few of those remedies, one being that cayenne pepper did so much. And the castor oil? Just wow...Who knew?

I have capsules of cayenne, and take them internally, but never knew of it's other uses. That could be a game changer, perhaps I won't put it all in capsules next time... I also use tumeric in capsules but have more recently been just eating it on food as well...

The eye drops are also a game changer.. Does anyone have any ideas for earaches? I have heat devices that you warm and they help slightly.. But I had a mastoidectomy, (surgery inside the ear canal, for a tumor removal) years ago, and sometimes get earaches as a result.. Those could be devestating if I can't get to a Dr. for eardrops for relief...

I feel as though I do not have much to add, sorry for that. But I do hope others keep adding to the list, as natural remedies are also very helpful, and often times better for the body as well...

Thank You all for your contributions, and if you can think of more, please do post them... I am making a list.. YES!:heart:

DMSO Benefits My 30 Day Experiment with UNBELIEVABLE Results (10 min)



March 31, 2021
Mindfulness with Kiran

Are you wondering about DMSO health benefits? And how can you use DMSO to improve your health? Then you are in the right place.

DMSO is a natural, non-toxic organic compound that is a by-product of paper making. Many people also call DMSO a 'Miracle Solution' because it can heal many ailments. From managing Arthritis pain to stimulate hair growth to healing soft tissue injuries and burn marks & scars - the list of DMSO benefits is endless.

In this week’s video, I share my results of taking DMSO internally for 30 days. Funny story that started on this challenge but, I share that in the video. When you do something for 30 days you start to see the impact of that activity on y our mind/body/spirit rather easily.

While there are tons of health benefits of taking DMSO – you MUST do your research. Read everything about DMSO that you can get your hands on. Often, the reviews on the Amazon website can provide great insights into how people have benefitted from taking DMSO (both internally and externally).

The results of my 30-day challenge convinced me that DMSO is an absolute must-have in my first aid. It is one supplement that my mind often goes to when I need extra support with healing inflammation.

Does anyone have any ideas for earaches?
Ear Candling

I choose this 6 minute video because a lot of the clickbait vids and photos are sensationalized nonsense. Ear candling is simply extracting excess ear wax.

Equipment:

stainless steel bowl with a little water
scirrors
mirror
ear candles (https://www.vitacost.com/wallys-ear-candles-beeswax-unscented)
approximately 10 minutes per candle

It’s helpful to pull down on the ear lobe to open the passage way and tilt the head to create an angle. The mirror helps me see when the first strand of ash is ready to drop. I snip it off into the water. Usually the candle burns down before the second strand drops. If there’s a lot of wax, I’ll use a second candle and/or do it two days in a row.

Neti Pot

I use a neti pot (https://www.google.com/search?q=neti+pot+with+salt+water&newwindow=1&client=safari&rls=en&source=lnms&tbm=isch&sa=X&ved=2ahUKEwjY4_eX3_juAhVEXc0KHVevBDIQ_AUoBHoECBoQBg&biw=1264&bih=746) when the springtime pollen hits.




Using a saline solution just once a day can help thin mucus, curb postnasal drip, and clean bacteria from your nasal passages. It can also wash out allergens you've inhaled. After their symptoms are gone, some people find three times a week is enough to keep them symptom-free.

How can I make my own saline solution for a neti pot? (https://www.webmd.com/allergies/qa/how-can-i-make-my-own-saline-solution-for-a-neti-pot) (6 Steps to fight Sinus Problems


Note: I keep it simple with organic sea salt and use warm water from the faucet rather than boil it. (I have an artisan well.)

It’s more cost effective to make your own than to purchase ready made packets.  Mix 3 teaspoons of sea salt with 1 teaspoon of baking soda and store in a sterile airtight container. I make up a large batch and seal it in a mason jelly jar.




To use, combine about 8 ounces of lukewarm water (distilled, sterile or previously boiled) with 1 teaspoon of the mixture. Be sure to use canning or pickling salt that has no preservatives, iodine or other additives that can irritate your sinuses.

Put the mixture into a clean Neti pot. Tilt your head over your sink at a 45-degree angle. Place the spout into your top nostril and gently pour the solution in. The saline water will flow through your nasal cavity into the other nostril and out. Blow your nose to get rid of remaining water. Repeat the steps on your other nostril.

[Denise/Dizi]

Thank You Running Deer.

These are things my primary care Dr. brought to my attention years ago, and they are very effective...

I do hope that everyone uses these very easy items for sinus congestion and clearing of said sinuses... Running Deer probably just offered you solutions most modern day Dr.s won't tell you.. Instead they will hand you a bottle of pills....

I have multiples bottles of "Ocean" both at home, as well as anywhere we tend to spend a lot of time. And I am aware of the neti pot, but I have found that clearing my facial sinuses do not help to clear my ear issue, as my ear issue is as a result of a surgery I had... But the neti pot would be a great deep cleanse of the sinuses, if the ocean or saline water didn't work for others without extenuating circumstances.

My situation is complex however... Essentially, I am triggered to produce the sinus fluids... as I am highly allergic to nearly everything these days... My sinuses quickly fill up, and the fluid makes its way into my ear on the left side... I am able to clear the facial sinus cavities with saline, etc... for the most part... but the inflammation at that point, makes it difficult for the ear to clear as quickly as it filled up. Not to mention that it would have to fully drain into the maxillary cavity, which is usually the last to clear in the face...

For reasons I will not bore people with here, I have had a surgical procedure that created a "super highway" between my ear canal, and my maxillary sinus cavity... As a result, my ear cannot, and does not drain until my entire maxillary cavity is fully clear... and the "Super highway" allows for much more fluid to collect and cause pressure on my ear drum... Causing great pain. Add to that I have an autoimmune disease which creates a great deal of inflammation? And that too, adds to the issue of my ear not draining quickly as the inflammation, limits the movement of the fluids back out of my ear canal.

If anyone who has had a mastoidectomy, (that involved the facial sinus cavities) is aware of what I am describing, and has found solutions to this, I would be most appreciative of their options, or ideas of what has worked for them? And if nothing, what ear drops they have gotten prescribed for ear pain in such a situation? I tend to "Ride it out" because I am hard headed and have lost trust in the medical system overall.... which can be extremely painful...

Thank You in advance... And thank you Running Deer, for reminding me how important it is to have such items on hand... And sharing your knowledge with others... A major earache can be debilitating...

Ionic Silver

This is a solution of very fine charged particles of silver (about 3 molecules of silver ions in ionic silver, slightly more in colloidal silver) that kill a wide variety of pathogens: viruses, molds, bacteria, microbes. They don't kill everything, but when they work, they really work wonders. I spray it on wounds to disinfect them. I place a few drops in a small cup and gargle with it when I have dental problems. Some people spray it on joints and get relief arthritis (supporting the theory that arthritis is an infection.) The person who recommended silver to me cured her very debilitating Lyme's Disease in about a month. I gave a bottle to a friend and it also cured her Lyme's. A few year's ago I had a severe infection which brought about a 103 degree infection. It was suspected that I had had a UTI and was given Cipro, a very powerful (and destructive) antibiotic. The test for UTI came back negative, and the antibiotic had only a limited effect and I was extremely weak. After suffering for almost two weeks, I remembered the silver and thought I should try that before I gave up and went to the hospital. I was much better the next day and in three days I was completely back to normal.

Unlike antibiotics, ionic silver will not destroy all the beneficial flora in your gut. I don't believe it has any known side effects. I do prefer it to collodial silver, since that product tends to linger in you body for a longer time.

I've only used this one product, St. Georges, which seems to have a different seller every time I order it.

I have studied and used alternative natural therapies for 30 years,..... If I could only choose ONE thing out of all the wonderful above mentioned "products";
It would be DMSO. For those who are vaxed and worried about blood clots, I recommend regular applications of DMSO at 50% strength ( mixed with distilled water). Paramedics have requested it's use for emergencies in stroke victims, i(t can stop a stroke if given intravenously ). It is worth getting a book on how to use DMSO because the manner in which it is applied is very important ( although there is reliable Info online, but there is also lousy info).

NB Vets and racehorse owners have been using DMSO on their animals..... it's truly God's gift to man and beast.

Neti Pot



Yes, using the neti pot changed my life. It cleared by sinus and ended my post nasal drip, which made my lungs cleaner and helped me overcome asthma.

However, some people can not stand the neti pot, but have used this more "high tech" product - the Navage. I have a few friends who would not trade their Navage for a Neti pot, and we have had heated discussions over which is better, although we agree they both have the same benefit to clean your sinus passages. There are various pluses and minuses to the Navage versus the neti pot:


--- the Navage costs about $60 and you have to keep buying their proprietary saline packs. I bought a nice clay neti pot for $15.00 and all you need after that is some good sea salt.


--- the Navage has lots of parts to assemble and clean when you are done with it. The neti pot is just one part and I put a little boiling water into the pot before using it to sterilize it before using - that takes about 5 seconds.


+++ the time for a treatment (that is, when the water is actually in you sinuses) is much quicker with the Navage, and you can keep you head level and more comfortable, and all the dirty water ends up in the plastic chamber. With the Neti pot you have to tilt your head in a slightly awkward way as you lean over the sink and you get to watch all the mucus coming out of your nose. (Which I enjoy, knowing exactly how much gross stuff is leaving my body.)


+++ you just use warm water for the Navage and begin the treatment right away. You pour boiling water into the neti pot and have to wait until the water cools to your body temperature (or so) before using it, so the pot sits there for about 45 to 60 minutes. (And sometimes I forget to set a timer or the phone rings, so I have to start the process from boiling the water all over again.)

And for minor burns, Lavender essential oil is brillliant - just dab a little on the burn and the pain is gone. I'm prone to accidentally picking up hot pans etc while cooking, and the relief is instant. This oil is great during summer when the midges bite (they always go for me:( ) and good for general insect bites too.
Lavender oil has many many uses, physical and mental/emotional...too much of a big list to go into here (it's late for me) but it's safe to say it covers many medical minor emergencies.

[Denise/Dizi]

This thread is offering up so many things I had not considered. And Running Deer, I had accidentally passed over the DMSO post entirely... I apparently clicked it, believing it was for something else... That is really something worth having! Thank You!

I was unaware that lavender oil also had so many uses. I used to create lavebdar bath salts, but never knew it did so many other things...

I use Kanberra Gel (https://kanberragel.com) instead of sachets. It’s natural and long lasting. It gets rid of odors rather than cover them up. I began with the small size and added as I went along. Now I use the 24 oz Refill size with the original containers.


kanberragel.com (https://kanberragel.com/)



WHAT MAKES KANBERRA DIFFERENT?

It’s the rich history of our founder Joel Solly, and his personal commitment to providing the purest, safest, yet toughest fight against airborne odor possible and enhance in-door air quality. For over two decades, Joel has lived and breathed bringing fresh air into hundreds of thousands of homes, boats, RV’s, cars, and locker rooms, safely and effectively.



Amazon comments:




I use Kanaberra Gel in my cars, on my boat, and in the basement to maintain a fresh smell and prevent mold. This is not the cheapest product on the market…. But nothing else is an all natural air freshener that also prevents musty mold and mildew. I have been using this for year and defiantly recommend.


This actually works. My car had pizza smell I just couldn’t get rid of. Weeks of trying everything. My car had most horrible smell of onions. People refused to get in unless all windows were open. This actually got rid of the smell. My daughter used it when she spilled perfume and it worked great.


I have a closet that smokers put there coats in that has retained the smell for 20 years. This product cut it with no offensive cover up smell.


I have used this product once before to get the smell of cigarettes out of my previously owned car and the odor was eliminated. I even had a tea tree diffuser in my car along with the odor eliminator and I couldn't even smell the tea tree. I wish it gave off a much stronger scent of Australian pure tea tree oil. Though it took out the nasty odor from my car beautifully fast.

No one has to know your cat boxes are in the room next door.

16 Remarkable Benefits of Lavender Essential Oil For Healthy Skin, Hair, Body and Mind (article (https://www.sonomalavender.com/blogs/news/lavender-essential-oil-benefits#))

https://cdn.shopify.com/s/files/1/0052/2960/9027/files/lavender-essential-oil-benefits-sonoma-lavender.jpg?v=1610877259

Arguably the best natural remedy with incredible health and healing benefits.

Lavender is so much more than just a pretty flower with a sweet scent. Incredibly versatile, the health benefits of this amazing natural remedy seem to know no bounds. And when distilled into concentrated lavender oil, these benefits are so much more powerful.

So just what is lavender oil good for? And what does it do? It turns out that lavender oil’s benefits are surprisingly far-reaching.

THE BENEFITS OF LAVENDER OIL

Lavender's highly effective healing properties have been used in aromatherapy for thousands of years for a wide variety of ailments ranging from being unable to sleep, getting rid of headaches and pain, to working wonders for skin and hair health. Lavender is also renowned as being one of the best natural remedies to reduce stress and anxiety and improve mental well-being and mood. And it does so quickly too.

Before you add yet another over-the-counter medicine to your first aid kit, first have a look at all the different – and natural – health and healing benefits you can get from just this one. Here’s how the multi-purpose magic of lavender essential oil can be used to help with a whole bunch of health issues to benefit both you and your family.

LAVENDER OIL BENEFITS FOR SKIN

1. It helps treat acne and soothes irritated skin
Healing skin is probably the biggest benefit of lavender essential oil. Lavender is a potent antimicrobial, antibacterial and anti-inflammatory so it can be used to treat a number of skin problems like eczema, psoriasis (https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/abs/pii/S0378874120330087) and other allergies (https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3931201/). It’s also a highly effective and proven treatment (http://e-ajbc.org/journal/view.php?number=606) when you have an acne flare-up and to help keep blemishes at bay.

2. It minimizes wrinkles and age spots
One of the essential oils lavender benefits is anti-aging. Due to its powerful antioxidant and anti-inflammatory (https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/26247152/) properties, lavender not only nourishes the skin back to a healthy glow, but also helps prevent wrinkles and lightens the appearance of age spots and dark marks. Antioxidants fight off the free radicals that bombard your skin on a daily basis and speed up the aging process.

3. It has wound healing properties
Because it’s an antimicrobial and anti-inflammatory, lavender oil helps speed up the healing (https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC4880962/) of small burns, cuts, scrapes and wounds. Its soothing compounds also provide welcome relief from sunburn.

4. It relieves itchy bug bites and keeps insects at bay
Lavender not only helps calm inflamed and irritating bites and stings but also acts as an effective insect repellant. A lavender sachet (https://www.sonomalavender.com/collections/lavender-sachets-gifts/products/lav-sachet-heart-chrysanthemum) in your closet is well known to ward off moths, and a lavender spray (https://www.sonomalavender.com/products/lavender-spray-mist) also successfully repels mosquitoes, flies, ants, fleas and bed bugs.

5. It helps combat fungal and viral infections
As an antimicrobial, lavender not only helps eliminate bacteria but also acts against certain types of fungi. It’s been found to be a highly potent remedy (https://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2011/02/110214201842.htm) for athlete’s foot and ringworm. It can also help reduce inflammation and clear up viral infections such as cold sores and warts.

How to use lavender for a healthy skin:

• Essential oil lavender benefits: How to use lavender for skin health:
• Dilute 9 drops of lavender essential oil in one tablespoon of carrier oil like jojoba or sweet almond oil. Reduce dosage if you have sensitive skin.
• You can also add lavender essential oil to an unscented face cream using the same dilution ratio.
• Use skin care products infused with 100% pure lavender oil like a body lotion (https://www.sonomalavender.com/collections/bath-body/products/lav-body-lotion), hand cream (https://www.sonomalavender.com/collections/bath-body/products/luxuriously-moisturizing-lavender-hand-creme) or foot balm (https://www.sonomalavender.com/collections/bath-body/products/luxurious-lavender-foot-balm).

LAVENDER OIL BENEFITS FOR HAIR

6. It may stimulate hair growth
Preliminary research (https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC4843973/) suggests lavender oil not only stimulates new hair growth but can also increase scalp and hair health and thickness when massaged in daily. Another study (https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/9828867/) showed that massaging in a mix of lavender, thyme, rosemary, and cedarwood essential oils can significantly improve hair loss caused by alopecia areata.

7. It’s a natural treatment for head lice
Proven to be more effective than common over the counter treatments, a combination of lavender and tea tree oils diluted in olive or coconut oil has been found to clear up head lice (https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/20727129/) after 3 weeks.

8. It can help improve hair health
Because lavender oil is an antimicrobial, it may prevent the formation of dandruff. Its natural anti-inflammatory properties can help reduce scalp inflammation and dry scalp.

How to use lavender oil for healthy hair:

• Mix equal parts of lavender essential oil and a carrier oil like coconut or olive oil, massage into the scalp and wait 10 minutes. Leave on overnight for the best results.
• Add 5 drops of lavender essential oil to one ounce of unscented shampoo or conditioner.

LAVENDER OIL BENEFITS FOR THE MIND

9. It improves stress, anxiety and mood
There’s plenty of research that shows that lavender has a soothing, calming effect on mood, stress, anxiety, and depression. One study (https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/19962288) found that lavender oil performed exactly the same as a prescription medication in reducing anxiety. Another (https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/23808618/) observed that lavender lessens anxiety, sleep disturbances and depression. It has also been shown to help with postpartum depression (https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/22789792) and PTSD symptoms (https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/22475718). Lavender has even been found to improve emotional health and mood (https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3612440/#B99).

10. It supports better brain health
Interestingly, lavender oil has been shown to improve memory loss and dementia symptoms (https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC5424179/) due to its potent antioxidant properties. A study (https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/22895026/) also found that lavender is an effective natural treatment option for other nervous system disorders affecting the brain such as a stroke.

11. It clears up a headache or migraine
When a tension or migraine headache strikes, lavender has been proven (https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/22517298/) to be one of the best essential oils to help. As a natural sedative, it works quickly to relieve tension, ease anxiety, relax the body and calm the mind.

How to use lavender essential oil for healthy mind:

• One of the best ways is to diffuse lavender essential oil at a rate of 3 to 5 drops per cup of water for 15-20 minutes at a time.
• Otherwise simply take a couple of deep sniffs into each nostril straight out of the bottle for immediate relief.
• Regularly adding lavender to a warm bath or shower can help keep anxiety at bay and improve your mood. Simply use some lavender oil infused bath salts (https://www.sonomalavender.com/collections/lavender-bath-body/products/lavender-sea-salt-bath-16oz), bubble bath (https://www.sonomalavender.com/collections/bath-body/products/luxuriously-rich-lavender-bubble-bath) or shower gel (https://www.sonomalavender.com/products/luxuriously-rich-bath-shower-gel?_pos=2&_sid=34d1777ef&_ss=r).
• A hot compress infused with the healing benefits of lavender can be particularly helpful for a headache or migraine, and even to relieve stress. Warm up a lavender spa mask (https://www.sonomalavender.com/collections/spa-masks) or neck pillow (https://www.sonomalavender.com/collections/neck-pillows) in the microwave and place on the forehead, temples, or back of the neck.

LAVENDER OIL BENEFITS FOR THE BODY

12. It improves sleep and insomnia
Good quality sleep is widely recognized to be the most important thing for optimal health. Many studies have shown that lavender is a natural choice to improve the length of sleep, the time it takes to fall asleep, and reduce insomnia – all due to its calming and sedative properties. It’s been found to increase the percentage of deep sleep (https://www.tandfonline.com/doi/abs/10.1080/07420520500263276?journalCode=icbi20) amongst both men and women, improve sleep quality scores (https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3159017/) for midlife insomniacs, and also enhance the quality of sleep (https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC4443384/) amongst young mothers.

13. It reduces blood pressure and heart rate
Hypertension puts added stress on the heart, increasing the risk of a stroke or heart attack. A few studies (https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3521421/) have shown lavender to lower blood pressure and heart palpitations, including amongst postoperative open heart surgery (https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC5423266/) patients.

14. It lessens menopausal and PMS symptoms
A small study (https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S172649011630082X) has shown that lavender aromatherapy for 20 minutes twice a day can help reduce hot flashes. Regular aromatherapy massages (https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC2529395/) using lavender, rose geranium, rose and jasmine oils also improved hot flashes, depression and pain. Lavender aromatherapy has also been found to alleviate premenstrual emotional symptoms (https://bpsmedicine.biomedcentral.com/articles/10.1186/1751-0759-7-12).

15. It eases most types of pain
Whether it’s a muscle or joint pain, sprain or back ache, lavender oil is a safe and effective natural painkiller. Many studies support its use for a wide array of pain conditions, including post-operative pain (https://ibimapublishing.com/articles/JMED/2014/183395/m183395.pdf), menstrual cramps (https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/22435409/), neck pain (https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/25192562), arthritis (https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/29389470/) and rheumatism, and labor pain (https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/abs/pii/S1744388116300731).

16. It helps relieve respiratory symptoms
As a potent anti-inflammatory, lavender has been found to help with bronchial asthma (https://www.medicalnewstoday.com/articles/248423.php) to reduce inflammation of the airways and mucus. This could also apply to other respiratory conditions like colds, flu, coughs and sinus congestion, especially when lavender is used together with other essential oils.

How to use lavender essential oil for a healthy body:
• Aside from diffusing lavender oil, (https://www.sonomalavender.com/collections/lavender-bath-body/products/lavender-essential-oil) you can also toss a lavender sachet (https://www.sonomalavender.com/collections/sachets-gifts/products/lav-sachet-trio-chrysanthemum) under your pillow and spritz your linen with lavender spray (https://www.sonomalavender.com/collections/all-products/products/lavender-linen-water-16oz) for a better night’s sleep. A warm bath before bed has also been shown to improve sleep.
• A lavender heat wrap (https://www.sonomalavender.com/collections/lavender-heated-spa-collection/products/lav-heat-wrap-lilac-dot) warmed in the microwave is the ideal solution for any chronic pain. Massaging with lavender massage oil (https://www.sonomalavender.com/collections/lavender-bath-body/products/luxurious-lavender-massage-oil-4oz%20) can also help with muscle, joint and other types of pain.
• To help clear up colds and flu or other respiratory conditions, add 3-7 drops of lavender essential oil into a bowl with 2-3 cups of hot water, place a towel over your head, and breathe in for 5-10 minutes.

WHAT DOES LAVENDER ESSENTIAL OIL DO?

All essential oils are extracted from plant material through steam distillation. With lavender, it takes about 3 pounds of flowers to pack all the powerful healing properties of the plant into just half an ounce of essential oil.

So lavender essential oil doesn’t just smell nice. It’s made up of hundreds of soothing natural compounds, and when you inhale it or apply to your skin, it can have a profound effect on both your mind and your body.

So just how does lavender oil work? When the scent of lavender essential oil (https://www.sonomalavender.com/collections/lavender-bath-body/products/lavender-essential-oil) is inhaled, the aromatic molecules travel up your nose to your olfactory bulb, which immediately sends a message to the limbic system, often referred to as the ‘emotional brain’. The limbic system influences many basic things like breathing, blood pressure, stress levels and hormone balance. But it’s also where your memories, emotions and feelings are stored. That’s why the scent of cookies baking can quickly trigger a memory from childhood.

This whole process happens within milliseconds. It’s why we often have an immediate response when we smell something - instantly triggering a mood, emotion or physical reaction. And it’s why just one whiff of lavender can often make you immediately feel calmer and more relaxed.

Lavender essential oil also works effectively when applied to the skin. It has a low molecular weight and is fat soluble, which means its healing components easily penetrate skin and provide benefits to the body. When applied topically, it is rapidly absorbed - it takes a mere 20 minutes for the oil to affect every cell in the body. And in many instances, you actually get a twofold benefit as you also inhale the essential oil at the same time as you apply it topically.

Because it’s highly concentrated and potent, it’s important to note that lavender essential oil always needs to be diluted before applied topically. It’s also a good idea to safety test for sensitivity on the inside of your upper arm before use.

MAKE SURE YOU USE 100% PURE LAVENDER ESSENTIAL OIL

As essential oils aren’t regulated, it can be very easy to purchase the wrong product instead of a pure lavender essential oil. Here’re some things to look out for to make sure you’re getting a 100% pure lavender essential oil (https://www.sonomalavender.com/collections/lavender-bath-body/products/lavender-essential-oil):

Avoid ‘fragranced’ or ‘perfume oils’:[/B] Fragranced oils are just that – a synthetic fragrance or perfume added to an oil without all the health and healing benefits of a pure lavender essential oil extracted from the plant.

Check the label: It should include the Latin name of the plant, which in the case of lavender is Lavandula angustifolia, if other ingredients have been added to it (should be the just pure lavender essential oil without fillers), and country of origin.

Dark colored glass bottles: Reputable companies package essential oils in either brown or blue glass bottles to protect the quality. Pure lavender essential oils are highly concentrated and degrade plastic bottles over time.

Evaluate the company: Look for a trustworthy company or brand that has been around for a number of years.

Compare prices: Prices between different brands can cover a broad range depending upon their production and sourcing methods. Pure essential oil prices can also vary widely within a brand due to the scarcity/availability of each base ingredient. However, if you find a lavender essential oil at a rock bottom price, it’s probably not genuine.

[Denise/Dizi]

I used to buy the lavendar oil, and large bags of natural sea salts from the healthfood store... (You could get a 20lb. bag for only $5 at the time)... Looking back now, I was very niave to the full benefits of essential oils, knowing only a efw benefits of most oils... but I did like the lavendar oil benefits at the time, and because I was so busy, I only really played with the lavendar to any large degree... (Outside of tea tree oil, which I never run out of)...

I would place the salts on a cookie sheet, and apply lavendar oil onto them, and allow them to absorb what they would, then move the salts onto another tray, and allow them to "Dry" as much as they would, (with oil on them...) And then pack very small cotton bags , with drawstrings that could be hung directly under running water in a bath... with the coated salts...

I would put little labels with instructions on how to dissolve the salts in warm bath water, and share them as gifts... As really, you never had to open the bags... the salts would begin to dissolve through the bags, leaving any salts that didn't dissolve, in the bag, which you could just collect and toss out...

The sea salts, unprocessed, did amazing things for the skin, and the lavendar, well, at the time, I knew it was relaxing, calming, and smelled nice, so I just gave them away for those simple benefits... Sometimes with other little "personal care" gift items... Having no idea the depth of the other things that the oil accomplishes...

I would probably still be making these dissolvable little pouches and sharing them, but after awhile, the concentrated lavendar oil scent overwhelmed me... It got to the point where I couldn't even tolerate the smell anymore, because it was so concentrated while in the process of being prepared...

I think I am going to have to definately revisit the essential oil arena. If I could give advice? At the time, there was a lot of controversy about using essential oils improperly, where people would apply them directly to the skin, causing major reactions, as this stuff is very concentrated... So if I could give one piece of advise, it would be to USE SPARINGLY .. But definately use!

I knew someone planting Lavender, he got this purple field full of butterflies (we got a butterfly season here), so beautiful and great smell, he said it is a sort of perennial herb and grows very easy, you don't actually need to take good care, it likes full sun, and alkaline soil, and that is the only problem around here, it is too acidic, but with some amendments is possible to plant it like he did. They burn it in a incense burner, first they dry the plant and then light up.. smoky but great smell, I didn't know it was a super herb, my grandmother used to have around the house to repel bugs and mosquitoes, apparently these insects hate the smell of it.

Here to bump Lavender oil.

Three or four years ago, while I was visiting my doctor regarding a venous stasis skin condition, he looked up remedies on his computer and recommended Lavender oil. I got up and looked at the screen, and yeah that name.

So I went and bought a small bottle, with a squeeze-dropper top. Put it on, full-strength drops, and it stung, and it also smelled like I was using a way-flowery perfume, so I shelved it.

Then last year I looked it up properly, and started using it again. Now, it’s 4 drops per cup of water, which each cup of has a good tablespoon of apple cider vinegar, in a spray bottle kept in the fridge (first had it staged room temp, had plugging of the squirter due to visible ~clotting) and vigorously shook to mix the oil. Dunno if any therapeutic effect, but it makes me smell nicer but not overpoweringly.
