I too love the ginger! I use it in a variety of applications, mostly for pleasure unless I have a belly ache or something like. I'm a fan of gingerale so sometimes I will add an extra drop of EO to my beverage, particularly if I'm nauseous.

I have found that Myrrh seems to be the best EO for oral care. I think I may have posted something about that here already.....

...and I thank you for bringing life to this thread! I felt like I was having a very long conversation with myself so I kind of forgot about it! lol

Well, specifically I am looking for plant identification for that which I will find in my area. TX. One that has nice description of plant uses such as what you have posted and how to use them properly.

I would love to have a greenhouse with all the plants healthy and established but I cannot do that with a one bedroom apt. Plus every plant I try to care for ends up dying. My schedule is so cruddy ATM that I end up with all kinds of weird yellow mushrooms all over the place or I find out the soil has virus's or whatnot. I have managed to keep my African Violets alive for over a year, though!

You are Very welcome!

I make soap, soy candles, lotions etc and also have every EO (I think I do anyway :@@.

I started doing this when I found out that most of the lotions and soap etc contain petrolium products - yuck and wanted to Go-More-Natural.

It is all very very interesting.

The above was just from memory and I would need to look up a lot of my (remembered) knowledge to varify it.

Explanation: S&F!

I'm wondering if these unmentioned as yet organic products have any medicinal value yeast, beer, spirits, wine/vinegar, bicarb, salt, olive oil, citrus juices, fungus/moss/lichen, cheese and honey, in an All natural 1st-aid kit? Advice from the OP and or other members with an expertise in this area much appreciated.

Disclaimer = I am Not a doctor or expert!! This is just information I have found while reading or researching. Or from personal experiance.

SO Please Take that into account while reading!

Vinegar is awesome!

It is a natural 'product' that is great for rashes or itching.

It is a disinfectant and can be used for cleaning surfaces and windows.

It is better than Fabric Softener in the laundry - all natural and helps to rinse the soap residue out of the clothing.

Apple Cidar vinegar is healthy to drink (no Don't Drink it as in a whole glass! a quarter cup is the most at one time) for indigestion and general cleaning of your insides.

Honey is also awesome. It is one of Natures PURE foods (the other is milk) = Remember the saying - Land of milk and honey?

RAW honey is what you want - not the processed kind offered in most of the grocery stores.

Honey is (said) to be good for wounds. It is said to have curing properties when consumed - in tea or on toast etc.

Honey is soothing when used for a cough.

Another good and natural product to remember is Oats. Oatmeal is fantastic to eat but it is also good to add to a bath (ground up is best) for rashes/itching (Aveeno uses Oat[meal] in their products). As a face mask for soothing the skin etc...

Doc Holiday just alerted me to this thread. Good stuff, OP. Will be keeping an eye on this one. I, too, have and use essential oils with good success.

Hard to pick a favorite. Thanks for your list of suggestions. I think I have most of them. Did have trouble finding a few at the health food store, though. Going to have to widen my search.

Jewelweed is EXCELLENT for treating poison ivy. Fortunately, I'm not allergic to it myself, but I have an aunt and a son that are horribly allergic to it and we always go for the jewelweed. It grows in abundance around here, but it can also be made in to soap or other concoctions that will keep and can be used in a natural first aid kit.

Disclaimer: It appears that the site I linked to is trying to sell something. Just wanted to say that I'm not promoting that site. I only used it because it has good info on jewelweed that is relevant to this post.
