Does anyone carry herbs or herbal medicine or something like that? I only ask because I do such, but would like to know if anyone has further additions.
I keep a head of garlic with me in my pack, along with some catnip and valerian root. I eat the raw garlic fairly often, or twice daily when sick. I started doing so when I learned of all the benefits of it (boosts immune system, kills parasites, lowers blood pressure when ingested often and long enough,and a small list of effects I do not have on hand). The catnip for some people, when steeped in boiled water can act as a sleep time tea, in case I am having trouble sleeping. Valerian acts as a muscle relaxer, so can substitute for a few smaller pain killers.
