Harmony's Plantain Salves for Bug Bites, Stings, And Other Skin Issues

Plantain is classified as a "drawing herb" in herbal medicine, which indicates that it may remove impurities, diseases, and foreign things from the body. Studies have found plantain leaves to be anti-inflammatory, analgesic, antibacterial, and immune boosting1. Olive oil and beeswax are added to the plantain to make high-quality Harmony's Plantain Salve.

It's an excellent natural product for bug bites, bee stings, wasp stings, flea bites, etc. In addition, it is a rich moisturizer that reduces the appearance of sun damage and reveals skin that seems toned and younger. Dark patches can be lightened over time by using this regularly. It aids in deeply moisturizing the skin and is ideal for soothing sunburned, dry, and irritated skin.

Apply a small amount of Harmony's Plantain Salve to clean problem areas and reapply as necessary.

Sovereign Silver First Aid Gel for Cuts, Blisters, And Inflamed Skin

Antibacterial and antiviral, Sovereign Silver First Aid Gel is an excellent addition to any all-natural first aid box. It's a natural, topical, colloidal silver technology that may be used to heal wounds, cuts, scrapes, sores, and other skin issues. It aids wound healing by lowering pain, inflammation, redness, and heat.

In addition, it promotes skin healing, combats minor skin infections, relieves topical discomfort, and reduces skin irritation. Due to its antimicrobial properties, it is also beneficial for treating cataracts in infants and acne. It was also shown that silver-based wound dressings offered a better barrier to infection than comparable products in research. The National Institutes of Health promotes colloidal silver as a wound dressing2.

Cleanse the affected area and apply a thick, uniform Sovereign Silver First Aid Gel layer. Leave it wet or bandaged for best effects. Repeat three times daily or as required to ease symptoms. 

Activated Charcoal for Poisons and Toxins

Activated charcoal is most obtained in capsule form, and it is unmatched in the homeopathic therapy of poisoning and toxin ingestion, as well as dealing with a general upset stomach. It's also utilized in conventional medicine, particularly in emergency trauma centers across the world, and it's an excellent addition to your natural first aid box. 

Activated charcoal is an all-natural antidote for many poisons, including arsenic, hemlock, strychnine, and mercury. It may also be used topically for snake or spider bites.

But if you think you've been poisoned or bitten by a poisonous animal, it's best to use activated carbon only as a first-aid measure and see a doctor right away. However, activated charcoal can help you get rid of food poisoning, vomiting, and diarrhea.

Cramp Bark for Muscle and Period Cramps

Cramp bark derives its name from its usage as a pain remedy for cramps, especially menstrual cramps. It is a dietary supplement derived from the shrub's dried bark that has long been used to relieve muscle cramp discomfort, particularly menstrual cramps3.

It can alleviate pain and improve healthy kidney function, and current research suggests that it may also offer a variety of additional benefits4.

In contrast to other painkillers, cramp bark does not only alleviate the pain. Instead, it regulates the menstrual cycle and calms the uterine muscles responsible for the unpleasant cramps.

Some women take cramp bark to relieve premenstrual syndrome symptoms (PMS).

Baking Soda for Bee Stings

Baking soda is a cleaning superstar, but it may also neutralize bee venom and decrease the subsequent discomfort, itching, and swelling.

Simply combine baking soda and water to form a thick paste and apply liberally to the concerned area. Bandage the wound for at least 15 minutes and reapply as needed.

Aloe Vera Gel for Cuts and Sunburnt Skin

An aloe vera plant's gel is excellent for healing minor skin irritations such as cuts, scrapes, sunburns, and more severe conditions like rashes and eczema. In addition to calming the skin and eliminating irritation, aloe vera gel is anti-inflammatory and promotes healing.

Additionally, it can be used to treat blisters and minor burns. Rich in antioxidants and helpful vitamins, it regenerates skin more quickly and effectively than conventional topical gels.

Aloe Vera gel may be picked straight from the plant, or it can be purchased from stores and pharmacies.

Honey For Allergy Relief

Pollen and other environmental variables can trigger allergies, so if you have seasonal allergies, consider eating a tablespoon or two of local honey daily.

Honey operates similarly to immunotherapy in that it introduces the allergen to the body in small quantities until the body develops tolerance to it, resulting in a reduction of allergy symptoms over time5.

Lavender Essential Oil for Headaches

best essential oil diffuser

This is a common addition to natural first aid kits, but it is a genuinely remarkable oil for relieving headaches. It’s not only effective but also gentle and safe for use on young kids. The lavender essential oil has antibacterial, antiseptic, and antispasmodic properties. Applying it to wounds and abrasions can help lower the risk of infection. Additionally, it is beneficial for anxiety, sleeplessness, and headaches6.

When treating headaches, massage the diluted (with coconut oil) lavender essential oil into the temples. When treating the pain of cuts, minor burns, bruises, bites, etc., use the undiluted oil straight to the affected region. Use as a tea for internal use.

H.E.A.L’s Lavender Essential Oil is also excellent in promoting relaxation and sleep. Use it similarly to how you would treat a headache or put a small amount on a cotton ball and place it under your pillow.

Ginger For Digestive Issues

Ginger is among the best-known natural products for nausea, acid reflux, stomach discomfort, and morning sickness. Ginger's antispasmodic and gas-relieving effects alleviate digestive distress. Ginger has also been shown to lessen motion sickness better than the traditional prescription medication, Dramamine7.

Ginger is available as capsules, tea bags, and crystallized ginger, allowing you to utilize it according to your specific needs.

In addition, prepare a warm cup of ginger tea to calm the stomach after food poisoning.

Eucalyptus Essential Oil for Common Colds and Flu

Reach for the eucalyptus if you are suffering from respiratory problems. As a strong antibiotic and antiviral, eucalyptus effectively treats common cold, flu, and nasal congestion.

This is the primary active component of vapor rubs. It works well as face steam that can be readily prepared over the stove, and it can significantly alleviate nasal congestion or sinus issues8.

If you can't stand to cover your head with a towel during a steam session, consider combining H.E.A.L’s Eucalyptus Essential Oil with coconut oil or your preferred carrier oil. Applying this ointment to your chest can help you breathe more easily by opening your nasal passages. Do not consume orally.

Peppermint Essential Oil and Herb for Digestive Issues

It's another all-natural first aid product for digestive problems. Several studies have revealed that peppermint oil can help alleviate the symptoms of IBS and other digestive issues, as well as provide some relief from pain.

Make peppermint tea if you have an upset stomach. Use a tincture orally or topically to treat nausea and digestive disorders. Typically, it is most effective when combined with other herbs9.

If you choose to make use of the H.E.A.L’s Peppermint Essential Oil, then dilute it with coconut oil and then apply it to the bottoms of your feet and the area behind your ears in order to alleviate headaches and nausea.

Due to peppermint's exceptionally high menthol content, it should not be used on children younger than three years old.

Teabags For Pink Eye

Tea is rich in both antioxidants and astringent chemicals. Therefore, a tea bag is an effective treatment for pink eye. Additionally, the tannins in teas assist in minimizing swollen tissue and constricting blood vessels, making it an excellent treatment for a black eye. You may also use the teas to reduce the fluid that drains from your eye10.

Kyrosol Ear Wax Removal System for Removal of Excess Ear Wax

The Kyrosol Ear Wax Removal System is designed to dissolve excess earwax, soften earwax plugs, and prevent future earwax plugs. It may also remove stubborn, dry, or affected wax buildups. The irrigator tip is specifically constructed not to injure the eardrum to ensure maximum efficacy and safety. The syringe allows the user to regulate the flow for optimal comfort throughout the rinsing procedure.

A single dosage of Kyrosol consists of glycerol (321 mg), sodium carbonate (21.4 mg), and purified water. 

How to Apply:

  1. Wax Dissolving Method:
  • Lie on your side (or tilt your head sideways).
  • Pull your external ear backward and pour ten drops of earwax-dissolving solution into the ear canal.
  • Warming the contents of the dropper bottle by holding it in your hand for a few minutes will make the operation more pleasant.
  • Remain on your side for 20 to 30 minutes to allow Kyrosol to work in your ear.
  1. Rinsing Method:
  • Please bring a few cups of water to a boil and allow it cool to body temperature.
  • Extract the water into the ear washer, place the syringe tip into the ear canal, and rinse the ear with care while leaning over a washbasin or sink.
  • Rinse many times.

Contact your doctor if you have any pain during the process. Repeat the therapy for one to two days if the earwax plug does not disintegrate after the initial application.

Using Kyrosol Ear Wax Removal System once or twice a month can prevent ear wax plugs from reoccurring.

Garlic For Earaches

Garlic is beneficial to health due to its antiviral, antibacterial, and antifungal qualities. Additionally, it possesses anti-inflammatory and analgesic effects. Garlic can help improve the immune system and fight illness when consumed. Further, an earache can be relieved by applying garlic topically11.

Warm a spoonful of olive oil to body temperature. Add crushed garlic to the oil in a small bowl. Allow it to sit for some minutes to reach body temperature. Just put a few drops on a cotton ball and put it in the ear for 30 to 40 minutes.

Tea Tree Oil for Sore Throats and Other Infections

Tea tree oil includes many antimicrobial chemicals, including terpinen-4-ol, which have been proven to be effective against certain bacteria, viruses, and fungi. Terpinen-4-ol appears to boost the activity of your white blood cells, which aid in the defense against pathogens and other external invaders.

Tea tree oil's antimicrobial characteristics make it an effective natural solution for treating various ailments, ranging from sore throats to fungal infections, and facilitating healing.  Furthermore, it reduces the sensitivity of the gums and teeth, as well as repelling insects12.

Try dissolving a few drops of H.E.A.L’s Tea Tree Essential Oil in water for a painful throat gargle and mouth rinse, or dab lightly behind the ears to help alleviate ear infection pain.
