Seven things every home pharmacy should have
(NaturalNews) The things that every home pharmacy should have have
changed over the past couple of decades. Over-the-counter (OTC) drugs
and even prescription drugs have given way to natural solutions that are
effective without side effects.
(1) This one can be purchased at a decent health food store:
Cayenne pepper. Master herbalist Dr. John Christopher was shocked to learn that gulping
down water mixed with a teaspoonful of cayenne pepper powder helped his
ulcers.
He went on to discover cayenne pepper could stop
bleeding by pouring the powder directly onto a wound. More miraculously,
a large 90,000 SHU (Scoville heat units) dose in water could stop a
heart attack. Cayenne tinctures are also available.
For
supporting cardiovascular health, two to three half glasses daily with
one teaspoonful of at least 40,000 SHU of organic non-irradiated cayenne
powder almost guarantees strong heart health.
(2) Another
excellent remedy for external bleeding and healing internal wounds is a
TCM formula that's considered a Chinese treasure -
Yunnan Baiyao. The exact formula procedure is secret, though the herbs are listed.
This
OTC remedy is so powerful that it was used on wounded Asian soldiers
during WW II and the Vietnam conflict. It continues to be used during
operations to minimize bleeding and help seal wounds. This can be
purchased from a TCM clinic's pharmacy or online.
(3) Another excellent TCM remedy,
Chin Wan Hung is the best burn remedy known. It relieves pain very quickly and
promotes healing better than any OTC burn remedy. It can be used for
sunburn and hemorrhoids also.
It is usually available in an acupuncture clinic's
pharmacy.
You can also shop online for it. It's inexpensive, and just a small
amount of this salve applied directly to the burn works miracles.
(4) If you can't get Chin Wan Hung or don't trust Chinese pharmaceuticals, then you should have
aloe vera gel on hand. It's
almost as good as Chin Wan Hung for soothing and healing burns.
Try
to get the whole leaf or leaves. Break one open, peel back the outer
leaf enough to expose the gel, and apply it directly to a burn. You can
cover the leave's open end and refrigerate it for a week. Great for
sunburn too.
If you purchase a bottled gel off the shelf, make
sure it's pure with minimal preservatives. It's also useful for
hemorrhoid relief. Some consume it for inflamed ulcers with satisfactory
results.
(5) Organic activated charcoal powder is a great
antidote for poisons or toxicity from excess OTC pharmaceuticals if
used quickly enough after mistakenly swallowing a toxic household
product or overdosing a pharmaceutical. Most ER facilities have it on
hand for those purposes.
West Palm Beach doctor Al Sears, MD,
recommends daily consumption of the powder in water for 10 days as a
general gastrointestinal (GI) detox. For general detox, it's better to
use the powder, which can be ordered online, instead of capsules.
(6) DMSO can be applied topically for bruises, sprains, and similar injuries for
quick relief and fast healing. It stands for dimethyl sulfoxide, but is
known more as DMSO.
Originally a byproduct of the wood pulp
industry used as an industrial lubricant, it has been purified to evolve
for medicinal purposes.
In addition to topical uses, even the
Cancertutor.org recommends DMSO as an agent to facilitate some alternative cancer
remedies. In short, it's good stuff and available without prescription.
(7) Butterbur has been used in Europe for many decades as an anti-allergy medicine
and for migraines, headaches and other minor aches and pains. It is
available OTC at health food stores and online.
