In my travels and just use in general, i find herbal remedies to be much more effective and healthy way to remedy pretty much any and all aliments.
they are also inexpensive, and if you live in certain areas, they grow wild. ill work on adding more info on that too.
Here are just a few very general herbs(more to come)!! for curing common bodily and mental problems, on the road or at home base that i have gathered and tried myself or have used on friends or learned from a friend...
***please note, it is possible to have allergic reactions to some herbs so always try it first in a small dose and see how you feel. some herbs are alkaline, and can be toxic to the liver in high dosage. please research yourself, or ask me in a message if you are unsure of its use!!! im not responsible for any damage done resulting from careless use of these herbs!
hopefully soon- ill get time to post more on how to make your own tinctures, oils, creams, tea mixtures and so forth but for now:
tooth aches:
chewing on whole clove, but most effective, clove oil.
how to make clove oil (or you can buy or shelf it)
crush cloves, add equal parts olive/canola oil. simmer in pan on med-high to med low heat for about and hour or so, let it sit over night and bottle it up. apply with clean figner or q tip to sore area a few times daily o as needed. if chewing the clove, be sure to hold the chewed clove with your tongue or finger on sore spot for as long as you can tolerate it.
removal of rotten tooth:
to avoid a blood infection by leaving in a rotting tooth in your mouth to..rot, i reccomend dosing the shit out of it with oregano oil. you can make it the same as clove, but may have to let it sit longer before using it. i recommend finding it elsewhere to be sure it works. apply to tooth regularly, it will fall out. try not to swallow the oil, because your stomach will writhe and hate you for a few days.
FLU/bacterial sickness:
the most popular, echinacea. although, sometimes it alone will not help you. tincture works best, or straight leaf in tea. about a tbl spoon 3 times daily in hot water, tincture, take a full tbl spoon at night and in the morning.
elderberry
eaten as jam, eaten raw, taken as tincture, seeped in tea, taken in capsules. very very very effective, especially with viral sickness. take as needed, but dont go crazy with it. anything is toxic to the liver in high consumption. this grows wild all over the northern west coast.
chaparell
a native flower to vegas, highly anti viral as well as bacteral, also great for detoxing the body of chemicals when detoxing from medication. warning, this herb may cause discomfort in the stomach, believe it or not most of all people have problems in the stomach from the foods we injest or chemicals, and the first thing chaparell will do is work to fix that. tingling and burning in the stomach is normal, but if it hurts really bad, you should probably stop.
i find it most effective in capsule form, but tincture works well too.
sore muscles
arnica flower- oil
to make, have equal parts arnica, olive oil and canola oil. simmer in a pan for about 1 1/2 hours, until it gets stinky. cool down, bottle it over night and it can be used immediately. this shit goes for about 50$ a pop, making it at home is about 5$. rub a decent amount onto sore or inflamed area, do not use on broken skin!! this will relieve minor aches on the body.
depression
st johns wort
can be taken in capsule form, tincture, or as tea. dont take too much because it will actually have reverse affects. dont take more than a few tbl spoons a week, in tea or as tincture. if its tea, i like to throw in fruity things or black tea, for the caffeine.
stress and stress induced insomnia
skullcap
can be taken in tea (i prefer it) capsule, or tincture. a few pinches in tea a few times a day, or a capsule a day but dont use for more than a few days. this is a very effective herbal tranquilizer, also helps with sleep. pregnant women should NOT take this herb as it will cause a miscarriage.
kava kava
my favorite,also almost made illegal in several states because it is a heavy tranquilizer. best in tea, dont take up to more than 3 tbl spoons a day in it.
menstrual cramps
cramp bark mixed w/ chamomile
seep in hot water.
you can sip chamomile all day, but only put a pinch of cramp bark in your tea up to 3 times a day.
scatter brain
gingko bibola
i prefer capsules, this herb actually does keep your head level and provides clarity if you have too much on your mind. can be taken every morning. one capsule
***heavy bleeding as a result from injury
wolf liechen
cant buy it in stores, its a illegal and poisonous. native would rub it on arrows to kill animals because it will coagulate the blood in high doses. PLEASE research this fungi before using it yourself, but in very small doses it will stop heavy bleeding. again, research!!!***
mild skin abrasions
honey
just rub a small amount on.
headaches
feverfew
taken in tea or capsule, tincture. i like eating it fresh, eat a few leaves up to 4 times daily or a a capsule a day, this can also prevent headaches.
diarrhea !!
marshmallow root,
tea, tincture or capsule.
cayenne
head lice
rosemary oil, or olive oil. rub it all over your head 2 times a day. it drowns them
bladder health
oregon grape
this berry grows all over the west coast, i like to eat it as well as elder berries when im in the area. the root is most effective, but the berry can be used to. eat the berry, or seep the root in tea. it also helps acne, skin infections
if you have any other questions or want to know how to make anything specific please message me i want to help you out! i have a tried and true remedy for just about everything.
ill edit more in here over time
