Читать книгу Self-Sufficiency: Natural Home Remedies - Melissa Corkhill - Страница 12

To learn about natural remedies it is a good idea to build up a toolkit of home medicines that you can try out on yourself, your family and friends. I have listed some of the basic remedies that I like to have on hand here. Your family may have differing needs so you may want to add to this basic selection with natural medicines found in the specific ailments sections on pages 26–125.

It is helpful to have the remedies that you use frequently on hand, so that they are easily accessible when you need them. I have a shelf in a kitchen cupboard where I keep some of my remedies. Others, such as garlic, can be found in the vegetable basket or as herbs, growing in pots by the front door.

You might like to include a notebook in your kit. This can be useful for noting down what you have used, on what date, on whom and how effective it was at treating the problem. This will be a great source of information for your family when a similar problem occurs.
