Apple pectin, a soluble dietary fiber found in apples, has been gaining attention for its potential to protect against radiation exposure and promote gut health. Following the Chernobyl nuclear disaster in 1986, apple pectin was used to reduce the absorption of radioactive cesium-137 in children. In this article, we will explore how apple pectin works, its benefits, and its potential as a natural radiation protector.
How Apple Pectin Works
Apple pectin is a soluble dietary fiber that helps balance the colon by promoting the growth of beneficial gut bacteria. In the digestive tract, apple pectin swells, forming a gel-like substance that acts like a broom, sweeping out waste material and body fat from the intestinal tract. Additionally, apple pectin breaks down into short-chain fatty acids in the large intestines, which have prebiotic benefits and support gut health.
Apple Pectin As A Natural Radiation Protector
During the Chernobyl nuclear disaster, apple pectin was used extensively to reduce the load of radioactive cesium-137 in children. A study published in the Swiss Medical Weekly in 2004 confirmed that apple pectin reduced cesium-137 uptake in Ukrainian children. The study, led by V.B. Nesterenko at the Belrad Institute of Radiation Safety, found that orally administered apple pectin effectively bound cesium-137 in the gut, reducing its absorption and radiation exposure.
Other Fruits High In Pectin
While apple pectin has been the king of radiation protection, other fruits, including grapefruit, oranges, lemons, raspberries, strawberries, and blueberries, also contain pectin. These fruits can also be used to reap the benefits of pectin, either by consuming them or taking a fruit pectin supplement.

Versatile And Powerful
Apple pectin is a versatile and powerful substance with numerous benefits for gut health and radiation protection. Its ability to sweep out waste material, body fat, and radioactive substances from the intestinal tract makes it an attractive option for promoting overall health and well-being. While more research is needed to fully understand its potential as a natural radiation protector, the evidence so far is extremely promising. Always consult with a healthcare professional before using apple pectin for radiation protection or any other health concerns.

Having a home garden on your property offers several benefits to homesteaders. Aside from allowing you to grow fresh, organic fruits and vegetables in your backyard, gardening also gives you the option to preserve some of your harvests for future use.
If you're not sure which method to try, detailed below are some of the best techniques for food preservation. (h/t to ZeroWasteHomestead.com)
Dehydrating
Dehydrating is an easy technique that doesn't require expensive or complicated equipment. Some herbs, especially those with woody stems, can be hang dried with twine and then stored in airtight containers.
Follow these steps to preserve herbs by hang drying:
- Harvest herbs from your garden.
- Wash the herbs to remove any dirt and debris.
- Dry the clean herbs in a salad spinner or use a towel to gently pat them dry.
- Remove the lower leaves from the stems until you have about an inch and a half of bare stems at the bottom of each sprig.
- Gather the bare stems and carefully tie them in bundles with twine or fishing line.
- Hang the herb bundles to dry on a clothing line or place them on an herb drying rack.
Below are some of the best herbs for hang drying:
- Basil (6 days)
- Chives (24 hours)
- Dill (24 hours)
- Marjoram (1 ½ days)
- Mint (1 ½ days)
- Oregano (4 days)
- Rosemary (4 days)
- Sage (4 days)
- Tarragon (2 days)
- Thyme (2 ½ days)
If you want to dehydrate tender-stemmed herbs (such as parsley), or make fruit leathers or dry larger food items (like apples or sundried tomatoes), you may want to purchase a food dehydrator.
You can also dehydrate some foods using your oven. Make sure to set the oven on the lowest temperature setting.
Pressure canning
Pressure canning requires temperatures higher than what's used in water bath canning, allowing you to process low-acid foods.
Since pressure canning is more advanced than water bath canning, it's best to try water bath processing first before using pressure canning.
When you're ready to try pressure canning, you will need several Mason jars and a pressure canner. Pressure canners aren’t recommended for gas or glass-topped stoves since they can potentially damage glass cooking surfaces.
Pressure canning is ideal for foods such as canned recipes with meat or dairy and premade soups.
While it can also be used for vegetables, it's not recommended for vegetables that have been preserved in vinegar. (Related: Top canned foods with the longest shelf life.)
Water bath canning
Compared to pressure canning, water bath canning is simpler and more accessible.
For this method, you only need to invest in affordable equipment such as quart-sized and small, jam canning jars and a large pot for canning. You can also try using jar lifters and funnels to make things easier, but these tools are not necessary.
Canning using a water bath is ideal for high acid foods such as fruit jams, pickles and salsas.
However, temperatures don’t get high enough with this technique so it doesn't suit low acid foods such as beans and non-pickled vegetables.

Wormwood: Bitter herb with potent medicinal properties

https://www.naturalnews.com/wp-conte...ckground-1.jpg
Wormwood (Artemisia absinthium), a plant with a rich history and deep symbolism, has a unique blend of spiritual significance and medicinal uses.It embodies the concept of bitterness – both as a moral warning against injustice and as a representation of human suffering. Yet, this bitter plant has evolved beyond its metaphorical roots, revealing a wealth of medicinal properties that have captured the interest of herbalists and scientists alike.
This bitter herb is mentioned nine times in the Hebrew Bible, often symbolizing the bitterness of corruption, injustice and moral decay.
In the time of the prophet Amos, wormwood was used as a metaphor to help the ancient Israelites reflect on how they had turned "sweet justice into something corrupt and bitter" by "abandoning the principles of fairness and righteousness, [and] twisting God's laws (covenant)" that were meant to uphold justice. Wormwood became the perfect symbol for this message.
Wormwood is one of the most bitter herbs on the planet. It contains a compound called absinthin, which gives it extreme bitterness.
Wormwood's therapeutic profile
Wormwood's history as a medicinal herb is rich and complex – with roots stretching back to ancient civilization. According to the American Herbal Products Association, wormwood was first scientifically documented in the first century by the Greek physician and pharmacologist Pedanius Dioscorides in his influential text on therapeutic natural substances, "De Matria Medica."
However, the herb was already known and mentioned in ancient medical writings as early as the time of the "father of medicine" Hippocrates, who lived sometime between the fifth and fourth century B.C. Hippocrates recommended wormwood for treating jaundice.
Over time, wormwood became recognized for its use in gynecological treatments, particularly for conditions like dysmenorrhea, so-called "female hysteria," and sterility.
As centuries passed, wormwood's medicinal focus shifted. By the third century B.C., ancient physicians were beginning to prescribe wormwood for digestive problems. Dioscorides and ancient Greek naturalist Theophrastus noted that wormwood's intense bitterness was a factor in its usefulness in treating stomach issues, liver ailments, bile excess, jaundice, flatulence and even for parasitic infections like roundworms.
This change of focus marked a fascinating shift in wormwood's therapeutic history, suggesting that ongoing experiments may have expanded its uses beyond what was initially understood.
Interestingly, while wormwood was not recorded as an antimalarial agent in Mediterranean history, Chinese herbalists recognized Artemisia annua (a relative of wormwood) for treating fevers – a precursor to its modern use in treating malaria, an infectious disease caused by parasites and characterized by fever and chills.
This is partly what earned Chinese scientist and pharmaceutical chemist Tu Youyou her 2015 Nobel Prize in Medicine for her discovery and study of the antimalarial substance "qinghaosu" – later known as "artemisinin," now one of the world's most effective malaria-fighting drugs.
Along with these benefits, historical evidence has also shown that this bitter herb has antispasmodic qualities, helping relieve digestive cramps and spasms, while its appetizer effect stimulates hunger and reduces feelings of fullness.
Wormwood also functioned and was used as a hypnotic to induce sleep – although care had to be taken with dosage due to its potential toxicity. Small quantities could cause nervous disorders, convulsions and insomnia. All of these mirror the symptoms of "absinthism" caused by the over consumption of absinthe. (Related: Natural remedies: How to use wormwood to boost your immune health during flu season.)
Wormwood's story is one of transformation – from a biblical symbol of bitterness and broken justice to a plant celebrated for its medical healing properties. From the ancient texts of Hippocrates to the discoveries of modern science, wormwood's dual nature – bitter yet healing – has made it a fascinating and enduring presence in human history.

The Survival Plants That Might Get You Killed
by Katherine Paterson
April 30, 2021
In any survival situation, the most important thing is finding food.
While you may have a stockpile stored safely somewhere, it might not be accessible. Depending on the circumstances, you may find yourself having to forage for food to survive.
Foraging for food is an essential part of any survival plan and will be vital during a crisis. Most forested areas are rich with edible plants that can potentially hold you over until you can reach your safe house.
However, many wild plants can be dangerous – and some are perfect replicas of the original. Knowing which plants are safe to eat and which are not is critical to survival.
Below are a few plants that you do not want to eat when aiming to survive in the wild.
Moonseed
https://www.askaprepper.com/wp-conte...-1-207x300.pngMenispermum canadense, also known as Moonseed, is a woody vine that grows 8’-20′ long. Stems of the young plant are green to brownish-red and slightly hairy, while older ones become hairless and woody. The smooth leaves of this plant are 6″ long and 8″ across and often bend downwards.
Clusters of white or yellowish flowers sometimes appear along the non-woody stems of these plants and may reach up to 5″ in length.
This plant blooms in late spring to early summer and lasts about two weeks.
Female flowers will develop into small berries in late summer to early fall and look similar to wild grapes.
Found throughout North America, this plant commonly grows within the region and is native to Illinois.
A low-lying vine plant, Moonseed has a high poison severity and is highly toxic to humans – causing convulsions and death when ingested. The toxic principle of this plant, Alkaloid dauricine, is found in all the plant parts.
Thankfully, this plant’s highly potent berries have a rank taste – which often deters hungry foragers.
However, because this plant’s leaves and fruit are similar to Fox Grapes- which are edible, this resemblance leads to them being confused as Fox Grapes or Wild Grapes and unknowingly consumed.
Unfortunately, Moonseed is highly poisonous and can be fatal if eaten.
Related: The Best Natural Treatments for Poison Ivy and Poison Oak Rash
While this plant’s flavor is usually enough to indicate danger, one should always examine the fruit’s seeds when foraging to ensure it is not a moonseed.
Moonseeds have a single crescent-shaped seed, while a grapes seed will be round. The tendrils of this plant are also an indication. Grapevines will have forked tendrils, where Moonseed vines lack tendrils altogether.
Signs and symptoms of Moonseed poisoning may include:
- Confusion
- Diarrhea
- Dizziness
- Difficulty breathing
- Irregular heart rate
- Stomach pain
- Vomiting
- Nausea
- Pupil changes
- Cardiac arrest
- Weakness or paralysis
- Seizures
*If Moonseed is consumed, it is suggested that you seek immediate medical attention to rid your body of the deadly toxins and treat any related symptoms.
Snakeroot
https://www.askaprepper.com/wp-conte...-2-246x300.pngWhite snakeroot plants have coarse toothed, round-based leaves with pointed tips and can reach up to 3 feet (1m) in height—clusters of flowers grown on the top of the stem throughout summer and fall.
This plant prefers shady areas and is commonly found along roadsides, in thickets, or under powerlines.
The leaves and stems of the white Snakeroot contain tremetol. This fat-soluble toxin is known to poison the livestock consuming it and passes into lactating animals’ milk.
The name of this plant was derived from the belief that this plant’s roots could cure snake bites.
It was also thought that burning this plant could revive an unconscious person. Thus it has been used medicinally for many years. However, due to its toxicity, even the medicinal use of Snakeroot is not recommended.
While consuming this plant is not often deadly to humans, it can cause ‘milk sickness’. The poisonous properties of this plant are most significant when the plant is fresh and green.
However, even dried versions of this plant have been found to contain toxins. This plant is especially toxic to animals, with death occurring when an aminal eats anywhere from 1%-10% of their body weight over a few weeks.
Signs and symptoms of Milk sickness (also known as tremetol vomiting):
- Trembling
- Vomiting
- Severe intestinal pain
*Milk sickness caused by Snakeroot does not rely on personal ingestion. Milk sickness can occur when consuming animal products from an animal that has come into contact with or ingested this plant.
Pokeweed (aka wild parsnips/carrots)
https://www.askaprepper.com/wp-conte...u-Killed-3.pngPhytolacca americana, or pokeweed, is native to eastern North America and the mid-west but is scattered throughout Canada, the United States, Europe, and Asia.
Considered a pest weed by farmers, pokeweed is poisonous to humans, dogs, and livestock.
While this plant is edible in the spring season with proper preparation, it later becomes deadly.
Cultivating poisonous berries can induce vomiting, burning sensations, altered heart rate, respiratory issues, convulsions, and even death if ingested.
Related: 52 Plants In The Wild You Can Eat
All parts of this plant can be toxic and pose a risk to humans if eaten. The poison, produced by the chemicals phytolaccatoxin and phytolaccigenin, is most concentrated in the roots, stems, and leaves of this plant.
However, the berries should also be avoided as they still contain enough toxicity to cause harm.
Pokeweed can be identified by its large, fleshy, white taproot that often grows 4 to 6 inches in diameter. The stems of this deadly flora can grow 3 to 7 feet tall in some areas and are typically a deep reddish-purple. Whiteish-green flowers adorn this plant and consist of 5 petal-like, rounded leaves that mimic flower petals, growing in clusters opposite leaves.
Each flower-like structure develops into 8-10 juicy berries that are flat and round in shape and small in size. The berries begin as a light shade of green, turning black or purple, and generally become heavy, drooping with maturity. Each berry contains a small, black lens-shaped seed encased in a juicy blood-colored liquid.
Native Americans used pokeweed to treat a variety of conditions in the past, and juice from the berries was often used to create red dye.
Signs and symptoms of Pokeweed poisoning include:
- Diarrhea, sometimes hemorrhagic (bloody) diarrhea
- Stomach pain
- Nausea and vomiting
- Weakness
- Muscle spasms
- Convulsions
- Seizures
- Headache
- Heart block
- Rapid pulse
- Low blood pressure
- Slow or difficult breathing
*Other names for Pokeweed poisoning include American nightshade poisoning; Inkberry poisoning; Pigeon Berry poisoning; Pokeberry poisoning; Scoke poisoning; Virginia poke poisoning; Poke salad poisoning.
Treatment
Poisoning from pokeweed requires immediate medical attention.
However, suppose you cannot get to an emergency room. In that case, you could attempt to create activated charcoal by burning wood or another dense plant fiber until everything but the carbon has been scorched away.
Unfortunately, this process can take several hours, and you need to mix the charred wood with other chemicals to create a useful substance. Thus, this may be challenging in a survival situation, and it is best to seek professional medical help.
*If you or someone you know has consumed pokeweed, call poison control, or immediately go to the nearest emergency department.
Belladonna or Deadly Nightshade
https://www.askaprepper.com/wp-conte...-4-290x300.pngAtropa belladonna – commonly referred to as Belladonna or Deadly Nightshade – is a poisonous perennial herbaceous plant in the nightshade family.
Found in various places in Europe, Northern Africa, and Western Asia, it is also scattered throughout Canada and the United States.
This plant’s foliage and berries are extremely toxic if ingested because of the chemical (tropane alkaloids) they contain.
Bella Donna is one of the most poisonous plants known to man, and its effects can be deadly.
All parts of this plant contain tropane alkaloids. The leaves are most poisonous when the plant is budding or flowering, and the roots are most toxic at the end of the vegetation period.
However, this plant’s berries pose the greatest danger because they look delicious and have a somewhat sweet taste.
Related: How to Tell the Difference Between the Poisonous Virginia Creeper and the Healthy American Ginseng
Despite its name, which means ‘beautiful lady,’ the Belladonna plant is exceptionally hazardous. Poisonous to humans and most animals, Belladonna poisoning affects the nervous system.
Symptoms may include:
- Dry mouth
- Red, dry skin
- Inability to sweat
- Muscle spasms
- Blurred vision
- Enlarged pupils
- Hallucinations
- Inability to urinate
- Seizures
- Convulsions
- Death
- Coma
Belladonna is commonly used as an ingredient in many over-the-counter medications to treat many common ailments.
For example, belladonna can be found in treatments for the common cold, fever, whooping cough, each ache, asthma, motion sickness, flu, joint and back pain, inflammation, and nerve issues.
Related: How to Make Cabbage Bandages to Treat Inflammation and Joint Pain
Unfortunately, belladonna can have serious side effects, especially when consumed without medical advice.
*If consumed, seek medical attention immediately. Activate charcoal is used to remove toxins from the body, and treatment of the various symptoms is often required.
Rhododendron
https://www.askaprepper.com/wp-conte...-5-281x300.pngFound throughout most western and eastern United States, this plant is easily mistaken for bay leaves. Unfortunately, using these leaves to spice up your emergency stew would be a bad idea.
Rhododendron and Azaleas are close relatives and cause the same types of toxicity. Often referred to as ‘mad honey,’ the honey found in this plant’s flowers is known to cause confusion, and eating any part of this plant is discouraged.
Poison control often receives calls in spring and early summer about children who have put the flowers or leaves in their mouths trying to eat them.
While this plant generally only causes mild mouth irritation, nausea, and vomiting have also been known to occur with ingestion. While rare, severe and life-threatening poisoning has occurred. Thus, this plant should not be consumed.
The honey of this plant holds the highest concentration of poison. The agent responsible for the poisoning properties of this plant is Grayanotoxin.
The neurotoxin, which is also known as andromedotoxin, acetylandromedol, rhodotoxin and asebotoxin, is produced within rhododendron and other plants within the Ericaceae or Heather family. Honey made from the nectar also contains grayanotoxin – or ‘mad honey.’
Mad Honey poisoning can occur anywhere from a few minutes to a few hours after ingestion and symptoms include:
- Salivation
- Vomiting
- Circumoral paralysis (around or near the mouth)
- Low blood pressure
- Low heart-rate
- Loss of coordination
- Progressive muscle weakness
- Gastrointestinal issues
- Dizziness
- Loss of balance
- Difficulty breathing
*Rhododendron poisoning is rarely fatal to humans, and symptoms usually last less than 24 hours. Death is much more common among animals who ingest this plant while grazing.
Treatment:
Treatment requires vomiting-inducing techniques and repeated use of activated charcoal. If you ingest Rhododendron, seek medical attention as soon as possible.

While obtaining plants for survival may be dangerous, you can often find danger in your own backyard as well.
Plants that commonly grow in urban areas can be just as harmful to your health as those found out in the wild.
For example, rhubarb leaves are known to be extremely poisonous, and while this plant is known to many as a tasty treat, the leaves may cause severe medical issues if consumed.
Rhubarb poisoning can cause:
- https://www.askaprepper.com/wp-conte...-6-273x300.pngBreathing difficulty
- Burning in the throat
- Coma
- Eye pain
- Kidney stones
- Nausea
- Red-colored urine
- Seizures
- Stomach pain
- Vomiting
- Weakness
In the wild, there are many plants available for survival.
Unfortunately, there are also many that can cause damage or even death if consumed unknowingly. It is vital that you are aware of what you are eating and sure that it is safe.
Being aware of your surroundings and knowing which plants (or which parts of plants) are safe to consume may mean the difference between life and death.

2,220VIEWS
https://www.naturalnews.com/wp-conte...Fire-Flint.jpg(Natural News) Non-preppers use coffee filters to make coffee, but preppers know that this useful item is a must-have for your survival stockpile.
If you’re looking for a firestarter or makeshift insulator, stock up on coffee filters and learn about this item’s many survival uses. (h/t to AskAPrepper.com)
Absorb spills
If you accidentally spill something and you have to clean it in a hurry, place a coffee filter over the spill and blot it up with a paper towel.
A coffee filter is absorbent and it will help soak up the majority of the liquid, which can help prevent clothes or furniture from being ruined.
Alternative for rags and towels
You can use coffee filters to dust furniture or clean windows instead of rags or towels.
Apply calamine lotion
If you hate getting calamine lotion all over your hands, place a generous dollop on a coffee filter and use that to apply the lotion to your skin instead. The filter will help absorb any excess lotion so it doesn’t end up on your skin or clothes.
Bug protection
If you don’t have any bug spray, you can use coffee filters as a makeshift mosquito net.
Poke holes in the center of the filter and wear it over your head like a hood. The tiny holes will keep bugs out while still allowing you to breathe comfortably as you work outdoors.
Cloth diaper liner
If you use cloth diapers for your baby, use clean coffee filters as a liner. Coffee filters are great liners because they’re cheap, disposable and biodegradable.
Place a filter inside the diaper before putting it on your baby to catch solid waste. When the diaper is dirty, remove the liner and its contents, then wash the diaper.
https://www.naturalnews.com/images/B...hLiveShows.jpgDIY bandage
If you don’t have a first aid kit, use coffee filters as bandages or dressings for wounds.
The absorbent nature of the filter will help to soak up blood and other fluids and the paper material will keep the wound clean and protected from infection.
Dry wet clothing
Place small wet items inside a coffee filter and leave them to dry in the sun or close to a fire to dry out. The coffee filter will help absorb some of the moisture so your clothes dry faster.
Emergency toilet paper
If you run out of toilet paper, use coffee filters as an alternative. Make sure you dispose of the used coffee filters properly.
Firestarters
Coffee filters soaked in wax are great DIY firestarters because they light easily and burn for a long time.
To make coffee filter firestarters, soak the filter in wax, let it dry and store it in an airtight container. Keep the container in your bug-out bag or firestarting kit so you can start a fire quickly when SHTF.
Keep insects out of food
Place a coffee filter over the top of food supplies in your stockpile to keep insects out.
Keep produce fresh
Line a fruit bowl or vegetable crisper with coffee filters to help keep produce fresh longer. The filters will absorb excess moisture, which helps prevent mold and rot from setting in.
Keep soil in the pot
Use coffee filters as transient liners for pots full of soil. Line the pot with the filter before adding your soil and plants.
When it’s time to transplant them into a larger pot or into the ground, the filter will prevent the soil from falling out as you work.
Make a cold compress
Soak a coffee filter in cold water to make a temporary cold compress and apply it to a bruise or insect bite to help reduce swelling.
Make a funnel
Prevent spills by using a coffee filter to make a funnel.
Cut the bottom off of a coffee filter to make a funnel so you can easily pour powders or liquids into small containers.
Make an oil lamp
Use coffee filters to make an oil lamp if you need light.
First, take a coffee filter and roll it up. Next, fill a glass jar with some vegetable oil and soak the coffee filter all the way inside.
Light up the filter and you will have light for a few hours.
Make a pair of gloves
If you need gloves for chores that will make your hands dirty and you don’t have an extra pair, cut two holes near the top of two separate coffee filters large enough for your hands to fit through.
Wear these “gloves” while finishing your task and dispose of them when you’re done.
Make tea
If you love tea but you’ve run out of tea bags, improvise by using a coffee filter instead.
Place loose tea leaves inside the filter, then secure it with string or a rubber band before steeping it in hot water to make your tea.
Remove odor
If you spilled ashes on your clothing or in your hair, rub them away with a dry coffee filter.
Coffee filters can also be used to remove unwanted odors like shoes. If you have a pair of shoes that are smelling funky, place one inside a shoe to absorb unpleasant smells.
For a better result, add baking soda inside the coffee filters and secure it with a bit of string or a rubber band.
Pet food dish
If you need to feed your pet dog but don’t have a pet bowl on hand, use a coffee filter. Just place the food in the center and your pet should be able to eat without making too much of a mess.
You can also use a coffee filter as a pet poop scooper. Bring coffee filters while hiking or taking your dog on a walk to the park so you can easily clean up their poop.
Portable food wrapper
If you’re going camping and you ran out of sandwich bags, use coffee filters to wrap your food in.
The paper is strong enough to prevent leaks and tears, but lightweight enough that it won’t add too much bulk or weight to your bag.
To pre-filter water you’ve collected
When SHTF, use a coffee filter to pre-filter the water you collected. Use coffee filters to remove large particles from water before running it through your main water filter.
Protect skillets from rust
Cast-iron skillets are prone to rusting while in storage.
Place a coffee filter in the bottom of your skillet before storing it for a long time to protect it from rusting.
Sore throat relief
If you have a sore throat, soak a coffee filter in warm water, then lay it over your throat like a compress. The warmth and moisture from the compress will help to soothe your sore throat.
Sprout garden seeds
If you want to sprout seeds for your garden, soak the seeds overnight. Next, place them on a coffee filter moistened with water then fold up the filter and place it in a resealable baggie.
Store garden seeds
Once the gardening season is over, save some seeds from your best-performing plants so you can replant them next year.
Place the seeds on a dry coffee filter and fold it up. Store the filter in an airtight container in a cool, dark place until spring arrives.
Temporary insulator
If you need a temporary insulator, use coffee filters to insulate your home.
If you have a drafty window or door, cut a coffee filter to size and tape it over the opening to help keep the warm air in and the cold air out.
Temporary survival straw
Use a clean coffee filter to make a temporary survival straw so you can filter water on the go. Cut the top and bottom off of a coffee filter and roll it into a cone shape.
Cut a small slit in the bottom of the filter and insert one end of a drinking straw. Suck the water up through the straw to drink filtered water wherever you are.
Trap cooking grease
Place a coffee filter over the top of a pan while cooking to trap grease splatters. (Related: Natural healing: Survival uses for coconut oil.)
Write notes
If you need to leave an emergency note and you don’t have paper or a notepad, get a coffee filter and write your message on a coffee filter.

Meals-in-jars are a great idea if you want to level up from simply canning excess harvest from your home garden.
Use a spoon or bubble remover to get the bubbles from inside the jar. Don't forget to clean jar rims with vinegar before placing the seals on them.
Add the rack to your canner before placing the jars in the canner. Add at least four to five inches of water to the canner after the jars are in the canner, or refer to your pressure canner for specific instructions.
Make sure the water is simmering when you add the jars. This can help prevent hot jars from bursting in cold water. (Related: Essential survival skill: Learn how to make survival bread.)
Below are some recipes that you can try making meals in a jar for the whole family. (h/t to Survivopedia.com)
16 Bean and ham soup
When you're ready to enjoy this 16 bean and ham soup, whip up a pan of cornbread. If you want to add extra vegetables, make the soup with some carrots, tomatoes or other vegetables that you like. This traditional ham and bean country recipe yields about nine quarts of soup.
Ingredients:
- 2 lbs. 16 bean mix
- 14 cups water
- 4 cups chopped ham
- 1 cup chopped onions
- Large hambone (Don't use the neck bones because this will leave chunks of bone that are hard to pick out.)
- 2 tbsp. salt
- 1 tbsp. black pepper
Directions:
- Soak the beans overnight.
- Add all the ingredients to a large stockpot and bring the mixture to a boil. Boil the soup for an hour, then remove the ham bone.
- Prepare the seals.
- Ladle the soup into jars. Stir and scoop the soup deeply so you get an equal amount of ham and beans in each jar. Leave at least one inch of headspace in the jars and process for 90 minutes at 10 lbs.
Chicken soup
For a heartier soup, add pasta while you're warming it up. Don't can the pasta because it will turn to mush.
Cook a handful of noodles while you're warming up the soup long enough for the noodles to finish. This recipe yields about six quarts of chicken soup.
Ingredients:
- 4 cups of chopped raw chicken
- 4 quarts water or chicken broth
- 4 chicken bouillon cubes (If you’re using water.)
- 2 cups sliced carrots
- 1 cup chopped celery
- 1 cup chopped green onions
- 1 tbsp. minced garlic
- 2 tsp salt
- 2 tsp black pepper
Directions:
- Place the broth (or water and bouillon) and chicken into a large stock pot. Bring to a boil and add the remaining ingredients. Bring the soup to a boil again.
- Ladle the soup into quart jars and leave one inch of headspace.
- While the chicken soup is cooking, get the seals hot.
- After you ladle the soup into jars, clean the rims very well before adding the seals and rings. Process for 90 minutes at 10 pounds.
Cranberry chicken rice
This recipe is easy to make and easy to store.
Ingredients:
- 1 12.5 to 14 ounce can chicken breast
- 5 cups water or broth
- 4 cups instant rice (White or a half and half blend of brown and white rice.)
- 1/2 cup dehydrated vegetable blend
- 3/4 cup dried cranberries
- 1½ tsp granulated garlic
- 1 Tbsp dried onion
- 1 Tbsp dried parsley
Directions:
- Use a canning funnel to pour the dry ingredients into a two-quart mason jar. Seal tightly and mark the meal name on a piece of tape. Add a note to "Add five cups water."
- Bring the five cups of water or broth, along with the chicken and its liquid, to a boil.
- Stir in the dry ingredients. Cover the pot tightly and let sit off the heat for 15 minutes. Fluff up.

7 Popular honey varieties and their science-backed health benefits

https://www.naturalnews.com/wp-conte...ass-jars-1.jpg
Different honey varieties offer distinct characteristics and health benefits depending on the flowers, plants or trees the bees get their nectar from and pollinate – giving each type its color, flavor profile and medicinal qualities.
The exact composition of honey varies depending on the climate, region, the flowers the bees visit and how the honey is processed. Despite these differences, modern research has found numerous health-enhancing properties and wellness benefits of honey. From its potent anti-inflammatory effects and antioxidant power to its ability to combat harmful bacteria, fungi, viruses and other pathogens, honey's benefits extend far beyond its sweetness.
Here are seven popular honey varieties and their science-backed health benefits.
Manuka honey
Primarily produced in New Zealand and Australia from the nectar of the Leptospermum scoparium (Manuka bush), Manuka honey has earned a reputation as one of the most powerful medicinal honeys in the world. This honey is typically dark in color – ranging from deep amber to brown – with a thick, rich consistency. It has a distinctive earthy, almost medicinal flavor, which can be quite intense compared to milder honeys.
What truly sets Manuka honey apart is its high concentration of methylglyoxal (MGO), a compound responsible for its potent antibacterial properties. The strength of Manuka honey is measured using the unique Manuka factor (UMF), which rates the concentration of MGO and other bioactive compounds. The higher the UMF rating on the label, the more potent the honey's antibacterial effects.
Studies confirm that Manuka honey is effective against antibiotic-resistant bacteria like Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) – making it a valuable tool in infection prevention and wound care. Additionally, its oral health benefits – reducing gum inflammation and plaque – have been well-documented.
Buckwheat honey
This honey variety comes from the nectar of buckwheat flowers and is predominantly produced in Canada, Eastern Europe and the United States. Its dark, molasses-like color and thick syrupy consistency distinguish it from lighter honeys. Buckwheat honey has a strong, earthy flavor that can be slightly bitter, with hints of malt or molasses.
This variety is loaded with polyphenols – potent antioxidants that help combat oxidative stress and support overall immune health. The darker the honey, the higher its antioxidant activity, making buckwheat honey one of the most antioxidant-rich varieties available.
Research shows that buckwheat honey has significant antioxidant activity, which can help reduce the risk of chronic diseases like cancer and heart disease. Additionally, it is known to soothe persistent coughs and boost respiratory health.
Acacia honey
Also known as locust honey, acacia honey is primarily produced in Eastern Europe, particularly in Hungary and Romania, from the nectar of the black locust tree (Robinia pseudoacacia). It is pale in color, almost transparent, with a smooth, runny consistency. Acacia honey has a mild, floral taste – making it one of the most delicate and light-tasting kinds of honey available – perfect for those who prefer less intense sweetness.
Acacia honey stands out not only for its low glycemic index (GI), which makes it a better choice for individuals managing blood sugar levels already within the normal range but also for its high fructose content. This higher fructose ratio slows down the crystallization process – meaning acacia honey stays liquid for much longer than other types of honey, giving it an extended shelf life. This makes it a convenient option for long-term storage and use.
Acacia honey's low GI makes it a suitable sweetener for those with diabetes or anyone looking to avoid blood sugar spikes. It also has mild antibacterial and anti-inflammatory properties – supporting overall health and digestive function.
Eucalyptus honey
Eucalyptus honey is made from the nectar of eucalyptus trees, primarily in Australia, Portugal and Spain. It has a medium amber color and a thick, syrupy consistency. This honey has a strong, distinctive medicinal flavor, with undertones of herbs or menthol – similar to the taste of eucalyptus oil.
Eucalyptus honey is well-regarded for its antimicrobial and anti-inflammatory properties – particularly its ability to help with respiratory conditions. The plant's essential oils lend some of their therapeutic qualities to the honey – giving it an edge in treating persistent colds and coughs.
Studies suggest that eucalyptus honey can help soothe respiratory symptoms like coughs and sore throat, while its antibacterial effects make it a useful natural remedy during flu season. Its anti-inflammatory properties also support immune health.
Add eucalyptus honey to herbal teas for a double dose of natural respiratory support.
Orange blossom honey
Orange blossom honey is primarily produced in regions where citrus trees thrive, such as Mexico, Spain and the U.S. (California and Florida). It is light in color – ranging from pale yellow to light amber and has a thin, liquid consistency. This honey has a delicate, citrusy flavor, with floral undertones that make it a favorite for sweetening beverages or desserts.
Orange blossom honey contains a good amount of glucose and fructose – giving it a quick energy boost. Additionally, research has shown that it has calming effects – helping to reduce anxiety and stress. Studies indicate that orange blossom honey can help alleviate stress and promote relaxation. It also offers moderate antimicrobial and antioxidant properties, though its primary appeal is its calming effect.
Alfalfa honey
Alfalfa honey is mainly produced in Canada and the U.S., where alfalfa plants flourish. It has a light amber hue and a smooth, spreadable consistency. Alfalfa honey has a mild, slightly floral taste – making it a popular choice for those who prefer subtler flavors.
Known for its soothing effect on the digestive system, alfalfa honey is often recommended for people with gastrointestinal issues. It contains enzymes that promote healthy digestion and gut function while its mild antibacterial properties offer added health benefits.
Clover honey
From the nectar of clover plants, clover honey is widely produced in countries like Canada, New Zealand and the United States. It is typically light amber or golden in color, with a smooth and spreadable consistency. Clover honey is mild and sweet, with a floral taste that makes it a popular choice for everyday use.
Clover honey is a versatile honey that offers moderate antibacterial and anti-inflammatory effects. It has been studied for its ability to soothe persistent coughs and sore throats and its antibacterial properties make it a good option for minor wound care. Its antioxidant content also helps fight free radicals – although less intensively than darker types of honey.

Quick pickling is a simple food preservation method that you can use to preserve almost any kind of vegetable.
With this method, you can quickly pickle vegetables like beets, carrots, onions and more. (h/t to FeastingAtHome.com)
Benefits of making quick pickles
Here are some of the benefits of making quick pickles:
Quick pickling is faster than regular pickling. This method takes less time than regular pickling. Quick pickles don't require canning when refrigerated. And while quick pickles don't develop the deep flavor that fermented pickles do, the former only requires a few days in the brine before they can be eaten.
Quick pickles are full of flavor. Quick-pickled vegetables are less vinegary. This makes them the perfect snack if you want something a little salty, sour and tangy. They can also be used to give a flavor boost to sandwiches or salads.
Quick pickling is great for preserving vegetables. Quick pickling is also the ideal method for preserving excess harvest from your home garden. This ensures that you have access to out-of-season vegetables when SHTF. (Related: 17 Skills that will benefit homesteaders and preppers.)
Here are some of the best vegetables to use for quick pickling:
- Asparagus
- Baby carrots
- Beets
- Chili peppers and red bell peppers
- Cucumbers
- Green beans
- Onions
- Radishes
- Salad turnips
- Zucchini and summer squash
How to pickle vegetables
When you're ready to start pickling, wash and prep the vegetables.
Peel carrots and slice them into matchsticks or coins. If you're pickling cherry tomatoes, they are best preserved whole.
For green vegetables like green beans or zucchini, blanch the vegetables first in boiling water for two to three minutes and then shock them in an ice bath to preserve their color. This step is optional.
Step one
Start filling up the mason jars with vegetables. Layer the vegetables with your choice of whole spices, raw aromatics (such as garlic, ginger or onion) and herbs.
Step two
While you are filling the jars, heat the pickling liquid on the stove. Bring the liquid to a boil.
Step three
Wear oven gloves and carefully pour the hot pickling liquid over the vegetables until they are completely submerged. Leave about a 1/2-inch space between the top of the liquid and the lid.
Step four
Set aside the jars and let them cool on the counter for a couple of hours before covering and refrigerating.
Step five
Refrigerate the quick pickles for 12 to 24 hours. The pickles will begin to have flavor the next day, and they will taste even better after leaving them in the fridge for several days.
Quick pickled vegetables will last for at least two weeks in the fridge.

Nature’s multivitamin: Barley grass helps protect the body from numerous diseases
10/25/2024 // Olivia Cook // 750 Views
Tags: #nutrition, alternative medicine, Amino Acids, antioxidants, Barley grass, brain nutrients, chlorophyll, Enzymes, fiber, flavonoids, food cures, food is medicine, food science, functional food, goodfood, goodhealth, health science, Herbs, multivitamin, natural cures, natural health, natural medicine, nutrients, phytonutrients, polyphenols, prevention, superfoods
https://www.naturalnews.com/wp-conte...r-barley-1.jpg
Barley grass, sometimes called "barley greens," comes from the same plant that gives us barley grain – Hordeum vulgare – but it is harvested long before the grind is ready to grow. It is a bright green grass, packed with antioxidants, fiber, vitamins and minerals.
It is "nature's multivitamin." Barley grass is also considered a "functional food," which means it doesn't just feed your body – it also helps protect it from diseases. (Related: Barley goes from ancient grain to whole grain: New "buck naked" hull-free variety has higher nutrition for uses in food, feed, brew.)
Barley grass is being researched for its role in helping prevent chronic illnesses and even in supporting the body's healing process. By including functional foods like barley grass in your diets, you may improve your quality of life and reduce the risk of developing diseases.
Take a look at what makes barley grass so special.
Antioxidants
Antioxidants are your body's defense against molecules called "free radicals." These molecules come from cigarette smoke, environmental pollution, processed foods and even stress. Left unchecked, free radicals can cause damage to your cells – leading to inflammation and diseases like cancer and heart disease. Barley grass is loaded with antioxidant vitamins, minerals, flavonoids and polyphenols, which help neutralize these free radicals and protect your body from harm.
Chlorophyll
Chlorophyll is the pigment that makes plants green and helps them absorb sunlight for photosynthesis – during which these green plants (and other organisms) capture light energy to convert carbon dioxide, water and minerals into energy-rich organic compounds and life-giving oxygen.
It turns out chlorophyll is also great for humans with its powerful detoxifying effect – helping your body eliminate toxins and other harmful substances. It also promotes healing and may even improve oxygen flow in the blood.
Amino acids
Proteins are made up of amino acids and barley contains all nine essential amino acids (histidine, isoleucine, leucine, lysine, methionine, phenylalanine, threonine, tryptophan and valine) – making it a complete protein. Barley grass also contains alanine, amide, arginine, aspartic acid, cystine, glutamic acid, glycine, tyrosine, purines and serine.
These amino acids act as the building blocks for just about everything in your body – your hair, muscles, skin and even your immune system. They help build muscle, repair tissues and are involved in many important processes, like enzyme production and hormone regulation. Some amino acids, like tryptophan, even help produce melatonin, which regulates your sleep-wake cycle, and serotonin, the "feel good" hormone that naturally uplifts your mood.
Amino acids from barley grass don't just support the physical structures of your body – they also assist in detoxification, enhance the body's ability to heal itself and help improve mental functions,
GABA
Short for gamma-aminobutyric acid, GABA is a naturally occurring amino acid found in barley grass that plays a huge role in calming your brain. Think of GABA as your body's natural "chill pill." It is a neurotransmitter – it helps nerve cells communicate with each other, particularly in your brain.
When your brain is overloaded with anxiety, stress or racing thoughts, GABA helps to calm things down. It essentially puts the brakes on those nerve signals that make you feel anxious or overwhelmed. Studies suggest that higher levels of GABA can lead to a more relaxed mind, better sleep and even improved mood.
GABA also helps regulate blood sugar levels – making it a valuable tool in preventing and managing diabetes. It improves how your body responds to insulin (the hormone that controls blood sugar) – helping you maintain steady energy levels throughout the day.
Enzymes
Enzymes are like the spark plugs in your body – without them, your body’s chemical reactions would grind to a halt. They help speed up vital processes – from digestion to detoxification and barley grass is packed with some of the most important ones, including catalase and superoxide dismutase (SOD).
Catalase helps break down hydrogen peroxide, a potentially harmful byproduct of metabolism, into oxygen and water. Without enzymes like catalase, toxins would build up in your body – leading to cellular damage and chronic inflammation. SOD is a powerful antioxidant enzyme that fights oxidative stress – a "cleanup crew" sweeping away harmful molecules that lead to aging and disease and keeping your cells healthy. Together, catalase and SOI work to keep your cells clean, function efficiently and protect from oxidative stress
Flavonoids
Barley grass is rich in flavonoids, which are natural compounds found in plants known for their powerful antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties. In simpler terms, flavonoids are your body's defense team – constantly working to reduce inflammation and fight off harmful free radicals.
Chronic inflammation has been linked to a host of problems – from arthritis and heart disease to cancers. Flavonoids help combat these by blocking specific enzymes and signals that cause inflammation, soothing your cells and preventing the overactive immune responses that can lead to chronic illness.
Beyond fighting inflammation, flavonoids also protect your blood vessels and improve circulation, which is great news for your brain and heart. Studies show that a diet rich in flavonoids can improve heart health, lower blood pressure and even reduce the risk of strokes
Polyphenols
Another group of naturally occurring plant compounds, polyphenols have strong antioxidant properties and are known for their roles in preventing and fighting a range of chronic diseases. They support your body's defense mechanisms by neutralizing free radicals, like flavonoids – protecting your DNA from damage and reducing inflammation throughout your body.
One of the most studied polyphenols in barley grass is ferulic acid, which helps maintain blood sugar levels and may even protect your skin from sun damage – helping to slow down the aging process and promoting the production of collagen so your skin can maintain a youthful glow.
Soluble fiber
Barley grass is rich in soluble fiber, which helps improve digestion by feeding the good bacteria in your gut. A healthy gut isn't just about avoiding stomach aches – it plays a vital role in your body's immune function, mental health and weight management.
Vitamins and minerals
Barley grass contains high levels of essential vitamins A, C, E, K and all the B vitamins, which help boost your immune system, maintain healthy skin and support brain health. The grass also provides minerals, like calcium. copper, iodine, iron, magnesium, manganese, phosphorus, potassium, selenium, sodium and zinc – which play vital roles in ensuring your heart and muscles function properly, maintaining strong bones and regulating blood pressure.

The timeless power of ANISE, an ancient herbal remedy
10/25/2024 // Olivia Cook // 540 Views

https://www.naturalnews.com/wp-conte...-and-oil-2.jpg
Anise, with its sweet licorice-like flavor and aromatic scent, has been cherished for centuries not just as a flavorful spice but also as a natural remedy with remarkable healing properties. Known scientifically as Pimpinella anisum, anise has seamlessly transitioned from an ancient herbal remedy to a scientifically validated powerhouse in modern health.
For generations, it has been used to soothe digestion, ease respiratory issues, promote good sleep and even support hormonal balance. Today, science confirms much of what these early civilizations intuitively understood: the phytonutrients and bioactive compounds in P. anisum – like anethole, flavonoids (cynaroside, luteolin, quercetin) and phenolic acids (caffeic acid, coumaric acid, hydroxycinnamic acid) – can help heal a bevy of ailments.
Aids digestion
Anise is a well-known digestive aid that eases common issues like bloating, gas and indigestion. The compound anethole, an aromatic ingredient in anise, helps to relax the muscles of the digestive tract – reducing cramping and discomfort. Anethole has mild anti-spasmodic effects that can also aid regular bowel movements and promote overall digestive health. Alongside anethole, malic acid in anise reduces stomach acidity and soothes nausea – making anise an ideal choice for relieving discomfort after a big meal.
Alleviates pain
The natural compounds in anise, including anethole, estragole, eugenol and linalool, have analgesic (pain-relieving) effects that can help alleviate mild pain by acting on the central nervous system to block pain signals. Anise has traditionally been used for abdominal pain, headaches, menstrual cramps and even muscle pain.
Boosts immune system
Packed with bioactive compounds, like coumarin, eugenol and linalool, anise offers anti-inflammatory, antibacterial, antioxidant and antiviral benefits. This combination helps strengthen the immune system – equipping it to combat bacteria, fungi and viruses effectively. The antioxidants in anise, such as quercetin and vitamin C, fend off free radicals – keeping the immune system strong and prepared to ward off colds, flu and infections. Incorporate these other immune system boosters that you can incorporate into your diet.
Boosts skin health
With antimicrobial properties, anise supports healthy skin by fighting off bacteria and fungi that can cause infections or irritations. Compounds like anethole and limonene help keep the skin clear and reduce the risk of infections, while antioxidants like quercetin and vitamin C protect against free radical damage that can lead to premature aging.
Combats constipation
Anise promotes smooth bowel movements, thanks to the digestive power of anethole, which encourages natural gut motility. It can be helpful for individuals struggling with constipation, aiding in a more balanced digestive rhythm. Aside from anise tea, you can prepare other teas that also promote regular bowel movements.
Eases anxiety and improves sleep
Anise may offer a natural way to calm the mind and promote better sleep. The magnesium content in anise, combined with anethole's mild sedative effect, helps reduce anxiety and improve relaxation. Additionally, anise supports the production of serotonin, a mood-stabilizing neurotransmitter that regulates emotional balance and sleep.
Fights infections
The antimicrobial compounds in aniseed, such as carvacrol and thymol, make it a powerful ally against bacterial and fungal infections. These compounds disrupt harmful microbes' cell membranes – preventing them from spreading and offering a natural approach to infection control.
Helps with seizure treatment
Research suggests that flavonoids, caffeic acid and malic acid in anise may have potential in seizure management – thanks to their anti-inflammatory and antioxidant effects. While promising, further studies are needed to confirm anise's role in supporting seizure treatment.
Improves oral health
Anise is a popular natural remedy for bad breath and oral hygiene. Its antimicrobial properties, mainly from anethole and eugenol, kill bacteria responsible for bad breath and support gum and teeth health. Chewing on whole star anise seeds can help freshen breath, tone gums and even whiten teeth – making it a versatile addition to oral care routines.
Helps prevent cancer
Preliminary research indicates that anethole in anise may have anticancer properties, particularly in inhibiting the spread of certain cancer cells, including breast cancer. Antioxidants in anise may help protect cells from DNA damage, a factor in cancer development. While more research is needed, these findings highlight the potential of anise in cancer prevention and management.
Promotes healthy weight management
Anise may be a helpful addition to reasonable weight management efforts. Compounds like anethole support digestion and metabolism, which can help regulate appetite and reduce overeating. Anise tea can also alleviate bloating and water retention – providing a feeling of lightness.
Reduces inflammation
While inflammation is a natural bodily response, chronic inflammation can lead to long-term health issues. The anethole in anise acts as a strong anti-inflammatory agent – reducing pro-inflammatory cytokines in the body. Additionally, quercetin, a powerful antioxidant in anise, neutralizes molecules that cause oxidative stress and trigger inflammation (free radicals).
Relieves respiratory symptoms
Anise is traditionally used to ease asthma, bronchitis, persistent coughs and other respiratory ailments. Compounds like anethole, estragole and limonene work as expectorants – helping to clear mucus and relieve congestion. Combined with its anti-inflammatory properties, anise helps reduce airway inflammation – making breathing easier.
Supports heart health
Anise can contribute to cardiovascular wellness through compounds like coumarin, flavonoids and malic acid, which have anti-inflammatory, anticoagulant and antioxidant effects. These elements help improve blood flow and prevent clot formation, which reduces the risk of blood clots, heart attacks and strokes. Anethole also helps lower LDL (bad) cholesterol, which is crucial for preventing heart disease.
Supports hormonal balance
Anise has been recognized for supporting hormonal balance, especially in women. Dianethole and photoanethole, two phytoestrogen compounds, mimic estrogen and help manage symptoms associated with menopause, such as hot flashes and mood swings. These compounds may also provide relief from menstrual cramps and aid in the regulation of menstrual cycles.
Supports lactation
In many traditional practices, anise has been used to stimulate milk production – supporting new mothers as their bodies transition from producing colostrum (the nutrient-rich first milk released after birth) to mature breast milk within two to four days postpartum. The estrogen-like compounds in anise, including dianethole and photoanethole, help support lactation, making it a gentle and supportive natural remedy for breastfeeding mothers.

Parasites have killed more humans than all wars combined – is your body fighting a parasite war right now?

https://www.naturalnews.com/wp-conte...n-Swelling.jpg
Parasites are persistent, dangerous and deadly, but for some reason, modern medicine fails to diagnose and treat them, leaving thousands of diseases to fester and infect humans. Many people think because they exercise and eat fairly healthily that they don’t have to worry about parasites infecting their body, but parasites don’t discriminate, and much of the time we are creating an environment in our body that is conducive for parasites to thrive. That’s why more people have died from parasitic infections than all wars combined, it’s just that nobody talks about it.Parasites coat themselves in toxins inside your body, such as heavy metals, so they go undetected by your immune system
Talk about invisible and camouflaged foreign invaders. Parasites literally use heavy metal toxins to hide from your immune system, storing them in their biofilm like a camouflaged coat of armor. So, the first strategy for fighting and winning the war against the parasites is to detoxify your body of heavy metals, and filter them from your daily food regimen. This means owning a top-notch water filtration system, avoiding vaccines (that often contain mercury and aluminum), and eating organic food. There are many detoxification products and programs we will cover in this article also.
Most people think of parasites coming from raw sushi or meats that are not cooked well, and this is true, but there are many other sources where parasites thrive and end up finding their way into the human body.
People with pets don’t often consider this, but most dog owners think it’s cute to let their dog lick their face, including their nostrils and their lips. Oftentimes, this occurs just after the dog has urinated or defecated, and then cleaned themselves with their own tongue. Cats may have just used their litter box and have pieces of dirty litter in between their paw pads, then hop up onto the kitchen table or the kitchen counter, where their owners drop or cut food, then eat it.
Then, Western Medicine hubs are prime places for people to pick up parasites, including the hospital, doctor’s offices, long-term care facilities and clinics. This happens easily when people touch handrails, door handles, tabletops and food counters in cafeterias and work break rooms. These parasites can infect the eyes, ears, bladder, digestive tract, lungs, brain and nervous system. If untreated, parasitic infections can lead to anxiety, depression and death.
Symptoms of parasitic infections include stomach cramps, vomiting, dehydration, fever, lack of appetite, diarrhea, chronic gas, unusually stinky poop that floats and excess tiredness. There are intestinal parasites, such as protozoa, which are single-celled organisms, and also helminths, that are worms and larvae, including tapeworms, hookworms, pinworms and roundworms.
There are ways to prevent, stave off, fight and kill parasites. There are many cleanses available on the market, but definitely check with your naturopathic physician first on these. Wormwood is a great natural remedy that fights off both major classes of parasites, protozoa and helminths. Also, propolis, a resin-like substance made by bees, has medicinal and anti-parasitic properties also, making it the “kryptonite” of parasites, including worms.
Papaya seeds have been shown in clinical trials to be effective as anti-parasitic medication. Papaya seed porridge effectively kills roundworm eggs. Pumpkin seeds are also rich in berberine, plus palmatine and cucurbitine, all of which are amino acids known to destroy internal parasites because they have antimicrobial and antifungal properties.
Some superfoods are great for warding off parasites, including garlic and foods that are high in beta-carotene, like carrots and sweet potatoes, because they convert that beta-carotene into vitamin A in your body, which helps your system resist parasites, while fortifying your gut flora (good gut bacteria). Again, avoid any raw meat, including fish.

Coriander seeds have been quietly enriching kitchens and health for thousands of years. While many know coriander as a fresh herb or seasoning, its dried seeds are packed with health benefits that go well beyond their flavor. Used in traditional remedies around the world, coriander seeds have captured the attention of scientists – revealing surprising and impressive benefits for health and well-being.For centuries coriander seeds have been treasured in kitchens and medicine cabinets alike. Ancient civilizations, from Egypt to China, celebrated coriander not only as a spice but as a natural healer. Egyptian tombs dating 4,000 years have even revealed coriander seeds buried alongside pharaohs, who believed in their healing and protective properties.
These seeds have a warm, earthy flavor with a hint of citrus, making them ideal for seasoning everything from curries to roasted vegetables. Coriander seeds may be small, but they are densely packed with beneficial nutrients. They contain essential minerals, like calcium (67 percent of the daily value or DV), iron (91 percent of DV), magnesium (84 percent of DV), phosphorus (36 percent of DV), potassium (21 percent of DV) and zinc (29 percent of DV) – all crucial for bone strength, heart health, muscle function and more.
What makes coriander seeds so special is its rich phytochemicals – natural compounds that offer a range of health benefits.
Essential oil
The seeds essential oil contains compounds like alpha-pinene, beta-pinene, camphor and linalool to name a few. Linalool, for instance, is known for its pleasant, slightly spicy aroma and calming effects, while other oils in coriander seeds help protect the body against bacteria, fungi and inflammation.
Phenolic compounds
These compounds, including caffeic acid, chlorogenic acid and ferulic acid, are powerful antioxidants. They play a role in fighting off oxidative stress, which can contribute to aging and chronic diseases.
Flavonoids
With flavonoids like apigenin, kaempferol and quercetin – the most studied among flavonoids due to their antioxidative potential and their key roles in the defense system – coriander seeds are rich in natural compounds that may protect against cancer and support brain health.
Alkaloids
Compounds, like coriandrin and corianin, have been shown to help with blood sugar control and blood pressure regulation – making them beneficial for managing diabetes and hypertension.
Terpenes
Terpenes, such as beta-caryophyllene and limonene in coriander seeds, have anti-inflammatory and antimicrobial effects – making coriander seeds useful for fighting infections and soothing inflammation.
Science-backed health benefits of coriander seeds
Traditional Ayurvedic and Chinese Medicine also held coriander seeds in high regard – relying on them to aid digestion, cool inflammation and balance the body. Yet, it is only recently that modern science started to understand the full extent of coriander seeds' benefits. These small seeds, packed with antioxidants, essential oils, minerals and vitamins, have been proven to offer numerous health benefits.
Antioxidants for disease protection
Coriander seeds' flavonoids and phenolic compounds make them potent antioxidants. These compounds help the body fight off free radicals – unstable molecules that can damage cells and lead to diseases like cancer and heart disease. By neutralizing these free radicals, coriander seeds may help prevent chronic diseases and slow the effects of aging.
Anti-inflammatory support for chronic conditions
Anti-inflammatory compounds, like caffeic acid and linalool, suppress the production of pro-inflammatory markers in the body – helping to ease conditions like arthritis and inflammatory bowel disease.
Blood sugar control
Coriander seeds have long been used to manage blood sugar levels in traditional medicine and now modern science is backing this up. Alkaloids in coriander, such as coriandrin and corianin, have been shown to support blood sugar control by boosting insulin sensitivity and protecting the pancreas.
Cancer-fighting potential
Some studies suggest that coriander seeds’ flavonoids, particularly apigenin and quercetin, can help protect against cancer by encouraging the death of cancer cells and slowing the growth of tumors. Early research shows that coriander seeds may be effective against several types of cancer, including breast, colon and lung cancer.
Natural antimicrobial properties
Coriander's essential oils, particularly camphor and linalool, have strong antibacterial, antifungal and even antiviral effects. Research shows that coriander seed oil can inhibit harmful bacteria like Escherichia coli and Salmonella, making it a useful natural preservative in foods and a safe alternative to synthetic antimicrobials.
Digestive health benefits
The essential oils borneol and linalool in coriander seeds stimulate digestive enzymes, aiding in the breakdown of food. These oils also have carminative properties – meaning, they help reduce gas buildup in the digestive tract, relieving bloating and discomfort.
Research highlights that linalool, with its mild antispasmodic effects, can ease digestive cramps and promote smoother digestion.
Heart health benefits
Coriander seeds contain flavonoids like kaempferol and quercetin, both powerful antioxidants that reduce oxidative stress in the cardiovascular system. These antioxidants help prevent cell damage and improve cholesterol levels, with studies showing that coriander seeds may lower "bad" LDL cholesterol while increasing "good" HDL cholesterol.
Additionally, phytosterols present in the seeds have been shown to help lower cholesterol absorption in the body. The magnesium and potassium content may also help in relaxing blood vessels.
Neuroprotective benefits
The flavonoids and terpenes in coriander seeds, especially kaempferol and limonene, help protect brain cells from oxidative stress and inflammation. By preserving neurons, these compounds may prevent cognitive decline and are being studied for their potential to help manage neurodegenerative diseases like Alzheimer's and Parkinson's.
Skin health benefits
Coriander seeds offer skin benefits. The antioxidants kaempferol and quercetin protect skin cells from free radicals, reducing signs of aging and supporting overall skin health. When applied topically, the antibacterial compounds cineole and linalool help treat acne and skin infections by reducing bacteria and inflammation on the skin. Additionally, coriander seeds' detoxifying properties help the body eliminate impurities.

https://www.naturalnews.com/wp-conte...-vinegar-1.jpg
Keep your home pest-free using non-toxic solutions that are safe for children, pets and the environment. Using these solutions means you won't need products that contain harsh chemicals to protect your home and loved ones from various pests.
Detailed below are some effective natural pest control recipes that you can easily make using items you may already have at home. (h/t to EverydayCheapskate.com)
Ants
If you find ants in your stockroom, all you need to do is clean the countertops, cabinets and floors with equal parts water and vinegar. The vinegar mixture will help deter ants.
Alternatively, you can try repelling ants with a dishwashing soap solution. Combine equal parts dish soap (such as Blue Dawn) and water in a spray bottle.
You can also use other dish soaps that are also non-toxic, biodegradable and with grease-dissolving properties.
Use dish soap ant spray on ants or other insects. The soap breaks down their exoskeletons, which makes them die almost instantly without harming you or your family.
Bugs, ants and spiders
Use lemon to keep bugs, ants and spiders out of your home.
Blend half a cup of ground lemon (including the rind) with one gallon of water. Use a garden sprinkling can to treat the perimeter of your house with the natural lemon spray.
The lemon solution is also mild and environmentally friendly. (Related: Prepping 101: How to protect your home and stockpile supplies against pests and rodents.)
Cockroaches
Mix 1/4 cup shortening with 1/8 cup sugar in one bowl.
In another bowl, combine 1/2 pound of powdered boric acid, which you can buy at most pharmacies, with 1/2 cup flour. Add the dry mixture to the shortening.
Slowly stir in a little water until the mixture turns into a soft dough.
Roll the dough into marble-sized balls and leave them in areas frequented by cockroaches. This bait is more effective than commercial products, but it should be kept away from children and pets.
Mosquitoes
Plant basil around your house. Basil will look and smell great, but keeping the plants well-watered will enhance their scent and make them more effective at keeping mosquitoes away.
Where to get DEET-free bug spray
The Health Ranger Store is committed to helping you prepare for any emergency and protect your family from various pests.
That's why we're proud to introduce an assortment of non-toxic pest control solutions such as the DEET-Free Bugs Away + Bug Defender Combo Pack.

https://www.naturalnews.com/wp-conte...hecklist-1.jpg
Whether you're an experienced prepper or a non-prepper, the tips below will help you start your preparedness journey. (h/t to MDEM.Maryland.gov)
Identify common emergencies
Before disaster strikes, research which hazards are common in your area. Are tornadoes common? What about earthquakes?
Try to find out what natural or man-made disasters pose a risk for you and your family.
Once you confirm these details, take the necessary steps to ensure your home can withstand natural disasters. If this isn't possible, secure a safe bug-out location and make preparations to drive to this location when it's no longer safe to stay at home.
Create a family disaster plan/emergency preparedness plan
Your family needs an emergency preparedness plan so everyone knows where you can all meet if you need to evacuate.
The plan should also include important details such as an out-of-state "family contact," how to get emergency information in your community and how to take care of any family pets.
Conduct emergency drills with the whole family
Once your emergency preparedness plan has been finalized, you should also set aside some time to run emergency drills with the whole family. This is important because it will teach everyone the designated spot they should go to after an emergency like a fire or an earthquake.
Your whole family should know how to respond during different emergencies. And if the whole family needs to evacuate, they should know the proper evacuation procedures and routes. (Related: How to build a financial preparedness plan before SHTF.)
Teach your children the basics of preparedness
Depending on their ages, you can talk to your children about what the common risks are and what your family will do if disaster strikes.
If they are older, you can also teach them useful survival skills like firestarting or knot-tying. Older kids can also learn how to cook without electricity, how to signal for help, or how to care for minor wounds.
You can also get your children to help while you restock your survival stockpile, which should have staples such as:
Prep for family members with special needs
Don't forget to prep for infants, seniors and other family members with special needs.
Stock up on supplies they might need such as diapers, baby formula, or prescription medication.
Learn CPR and first aid
Before SHTF, get trained in basic first aid and CPR. Your training could save the life of a family member or a neighbor after a disaster.
Eliminate hazards in your home
Check your home, property or workplace for any hazards and get rid of them to reduce the risk of accidents when SHTF.
This includes checking for plumbing leaks or damaged windows and conducting the necessary repairs.
Understand common risks
Aside from natural disasters, disaster preparedness should also consider man-made disasters. Know what to do during explosions, along with other emergencies such as chemical, biological, or nuclear threats.
Knowing what to do when SHTF is a crucial part of prepping and can make all the difference when you are dealing with an emergency.
Prepare a bug-out bag and car emergency kit for your car
Having bug-out bags at home or car emergency kits in your vehicle can help save your life if you ever get stranded in your car or have to be self-sufficient at home or work until help arrives.
Help non-preppers get started
While things are "normal," try to teach your non-prepper neighbors or family members about the benefits of prepping to help them prepare for different emergencies.
Where to get lab-verified food supplies for your prepping stockpile
The Health Ranger Store is committed to helping you prepare for any emergency, whether it's a two-day power outage or a long-term disaster.

Garlic has long been celebrated as more than just a kitchen staple. It is a symbol of good fortune, health and protection – weaving together the culinary and the sacred.Though it makes only a brief appearance in the Bible, this humble bulb has earned its place as one of the most powerful herbs in modern times. Often called "camphor of the poor," this "stinking rose" offers a bounty of health benefits by acting as a natural antimicrobial. In essence, growing garlic at home is like having your pharmacy – a potent ally in warding off ailments and safeguarding your wellness and well-being. This small bulb deserves a spot in everyone's life.
Health power of garlic
Garlic, along with its Allium relatives like leeks and onions, has long been known for fighting infections. But garlic stands out for its strong antimicrobial punch – thanks to some unique sulfur-based compounds. Here's a breakdown of garlic's most powerful health defenders.
Allicin
Allicin is what gives raw garlic its signature smell and it is also the main player when it comes to health benefits. It is a powerhouse against a wide range of harmful bacteria – even those resistant to many antibiotics. Allicin can also combat fungi, parasites and viruses. When it interacts with bacteria, it disrupts their vital processes, which eventually kills them. For instance, it has been shown to improve skin infections caused by methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) – a notoriously tough bacteria. The catch? Allicin does not last long in the bloodstream, so its use may be better suited for inhalation or topical treatments.
Ajoene
Formed from allicin, ajoene is another sulfur-rich compound in garlic oil. It is effective against bacteria and fungi, including strains like H. pylori and Candida albicans. Though its antimicrobial action is slightly less potent than allicin, ajoene still packs a punch. However, like allicin, it breaks down quickly once inside the body.
Diallyl polysulfides
Found in garlic oil, these compounds vary in strength – depending on how many sulfur atoms they contain. The more sulfur atoms, the stronger their ability to tackle bacteria. Among these, diallyl tetrasulfide (DAS-4) is the most potent – making garlic oil effective as an antibacterial remedy, especially against drug-resistant strains.
Vinyldithiins
Although vinyldithiins, also found in garlic oil, don't have antimicrobial properties, they contribute to garlic's overall health benefits in other ways, such as helping with weight management.
Wellness wonders of garlic
Garlic, whether raw or in the form of oil or powder, is not just a flavorful addition to your meals – it is a natural remedy packed with therapeutic properties. A diet rich in garlic-infused functional foods can offer a range of science-backed health benefits. Here are some of the key ways garlic can project and boost your health.
Boosts the power of antibiotics against resistant infections
Fresh garlic extract (FGE) has been found to enhance the effectiveness of antibiotics. In a 2015 study in Jundishapur Journal of Microbiology, researchers tested how FGE worked alongside antibiotics to fight resistant strains like Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA), Pseudonomas aeruginosa and Candida albicans.
The study revealed that FGE alone had significant power against MRSA and C. albicans, but was less effective on P. aeruginosa. Even better, when combined with certain antibiotics, FGE improved the antibiotics' ability to fight these stubborn infections. This suggests that garlic could be a helpful companion to conventional treatments for drug-resistant infections.
A natural fungal fighter. Garlic extracts are effective against fungi like Aspergillus, Candida and Trichophyton, which can cause skin infections, yeast infections and more. Applying garlic oil externally can even help with issues like ringworm and warts. In one study, researchers synthesized silver nanoparticles using garlic extract – enhancing its antifungal abilities even further. Garlic's sulfur compounds – disulfides, monosulfides and trisulfides – are the secret behind its powerful action against fungal infections.
Broad-spectrum antibacterial power. Studies show that garlic extracts are as powerful as some broad-spectrum antibiotics – effectively tackling bacteria like Escherichia coli, Listeria, Salmonella and S. aureus. Garlic's antibacterial properties come from its ability to break down bacterial cell membranes – causing the bacteria to die off without harming the host. That makes garlic a promising alternative to antibiotics ~ especially for people looking to avoid the side effects of commercial drugs.
A potent antiviral ally. Preclinical studies have shown that garlic extracts can stop viruses from multiplying, even in cases like the coronavirus. In some tests, garlic has been used to treat infections – ranging from sexually transmitted diseases to lung infections like pulmonary tuberculosis. Its high organosulfur content interacts with the angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE2) protein and other viral proteins – showing the potential to prevent or reduce the severity of viral infections, including the Wuhan coronavirus (COVID-19).
Protects against cardiovascular disease
Heart disease remains one of the leading causes of death worldwide, but garlic has been shown to offer significant protection against various heart-related conditions, including hypertension and high cholesterol. Here's how garlic can help keep your body healthy and strong.
Lowers blood pressure and fights hypertension. Garlic has proven to be particularly helpful for people suffering from high blood pressure (hypertension) – one of the major risk factors for heart disease. Studies have shown that garlic can help reduce both systolic and diastolic blood pressure. This effect is largely due to garlic's organosulfur compounds, which help relax the blood vessels – improving blood flow and reducing pressure on the heart. Garlic supplements have been found to lower blood pressure levels almost as effectively as some conventional medications – with systolic pressure dropping by up to 10 mm Hg and diastolic by 8 mm Hg.
Improves cholesterol levels. Research has found that garlic, particularly aged black garlic extract (AGE) can help lower total cholesterol, triglycerides and harmful LDL (bad) cholesterol levels. By doing so, garlic reduces the buildup of fatty deposits in the arteries, which can lead to blockages and heart attacks. It also improves HDL (good) cholesterol levels, which helps protect against heart disease.
Prevents blood clots and thrombosis. By inhibiting platelet aggregation (the clumping together of platelets in the blood), garlic reduces the risk of dangerous blood clots that can lead to heart attacks or strokes.
Anti-atherosclerotic benefits. Garlic has been found to have a direct and anti-atherogenic effect – meaning it helps prevent plaque formation and slows the development of atherosclerosis. It also works by inhibiting certain enzymes, like sialidase, that play a role in the formation of harmful LDL cholesterol – a key factor in the progression of atherosclerosis.
Supports overall cardiovascular health. Beyond these benefits, garlic has been shown to enhance several cardiovascular parameters. It can improve blood circulation, reduce the thickness of the carotid artery walls (a marker of heart health) and support microcirculation – ensuring better oxygen and nutrient delivery to the heart and surrounding tissues. Studies suggest that garlic can even improve heart function by increasing Na+/K+-ATPase levels, which regulate sodium and potassium in heart tissue – preventing hypertrophy (enlarged heart muscle).
Helps prevent cancer
Research has shown that garlic extract can help inhibit the growth of cancer cells and support the body's natural defenses in fighting off cancer – particularly in the digestive tract.
Reduces the risk of digestive cancers. Studies have found that consuming garlic can significantly reduce the risk of cancers affecting the colon, esophagus and stomach. Garlic's bioactive compounds – such as allicin, allyl mercaptan) diallyl sulfide (DATS) – is known for its strong anti-cancer properties. These compounds help reduce tumor formation, slow down cancer cell growth and prevent the spread of cancer by targeting the blood vessels that feed tumors.
Aged garlic extract (AGE) and cancer prevention. By reducing reactive oxygen species (ROS) and preventing endothelial activation, AGE can help protect cells from the damage that can lead to cancer. This not only helps reduce the risk of tumor formation but also supports overall cardiovascular health – creating a double benefit for those incorporating garlic into their diet.
Boosts the immune system. By stimulating helper T-cells, garlic supports the body's immune response – helping it to fight off infections and, potentially, cancer cells. This immune boost plays a vital role in preventing cancerous cells from growing and spreading.

Prepping tips: How to start building a one-year food supply

(Natural News) If you truly want to be prepared for a long-term survival scenario, consider setting up a one-year food supply before SHTF.
Since this can be time-consuming and expensive, work your way up to a one-year supply by starting with a more manageable goal, like a three-day supply of food for the whole family. (h/t to SurvivalSullivan.com)
Start small when stockpiling food supplies
If you already have enough food supplies for one to two weeks, you’re one step closer to having enough food for one year.
But if you are a prepping beginner or have only recently started stockpiling food supplies for emergencies, trying to stock up enough food for one year will seem very daunting.
Start simple with a three-day supply of food, then move on to a one-week supply. As you get used to stockpiling food, add more supplies until you have enough for one month. Eventually, you should have enough for one year or so. (Related: Food supply 101: Tips for preparing a healthy food stockpile.)
How much food do you need per day?
To find out how much food you need per day, start by figuring out how to determine your calorie targets.
Multiply the number of people in your group or family by the number of days that you are planning for your stockpile. On average, one person needs 2,200 calories per day.
Here are some sample equations:
2,200 cal x 4 people x 3 days = 26,400 calories in storage
2,200 cal x 4 people x 30 days = 264,000 calories in storage
2,200 cal x 4 people X 365 days = 3,212,000 calories in storage
While a group of four people will require a lot of calories for one year, you can meet this need by scaling up when acquiring the food.
https://www.naturalnews.com/images/B...hLiveShows.jpgBuilding a three-day supply
The three-day supply is the gold standard for basic preparation. Common SHTF events that may last for three days or so include power outages.
Your food choices are generally up to you, but you should consider stocking up on items that have a long shelf life and are easy to prepare. Make sure you buy things that you and your family don’t mind eating a lot of for three days.
- Bottled water
- Bread and crackers
- Breakfast cereal
- Canned fruit
- Canned meals, such as chili and soup
- Canned meat like ham, salmon, tuna and turkey
- Dried fruit
- Granola bars
- Nuts and trail mix
- Peanut butter
- Snacks like cookies, etc.
Building a one-week supply
After you stock up on enough food for at least three days, aim for a one-week supply. This should be enough to get you through the aftermath of a serious localized disaster, like a long-term power outage.
Keep things simple by duplicating your three-day supply and adding other new items so you have a variety of foods to make up the difference.
Building a one-month supply
A one-month supply of food on hand and in storage can help you and your family get through a significant regional disaster or other events that completely disrupt supply lines and your usual routine.
Add more items to the list above, and make sure you store food properly so items stay fresh in your stockpile even after one month. You should also rotate supplies that don’t have a long shelf life to prevent spoilage.
If storage space is an issue, consider setting up a separate room or building a secure shed for food storage.
Items to add to your stockpile:
- Dry pasta
- Oatmeal
- Pasta sauces
Building a three-month supply
A three-month supply of food can sustain a family or group of people through calamitous events like civil conflict or famine. Like with the one-month supply, you have to regularly rotate and inspect items to prevent spoilage.
To stock up on this much food, duplicate your one-month food plan twice.
Items to add to your stockpile:
Building a six-month supply
A six-month supply of food requires a significant investment of time and money that can help secure your survival when SHTF.
However, the average home cannot hold a six-month supply of food without sacrificing most of the living and storage space. If space is an issue, invest in supplementary storage.
To expand your stockpile into a six-month supply, duplicate your three-month purchase plan.
Items to add to your stockpile:
- Beans
- Bread mixes
- Canned or powdered milk
- Freeze-dried foods
- Herbs and spices
- MREs or camper meals (Only on a supplementary basis.)
- Multivitamins
- Self-stored and treated water
Building a one-year supply
A one-year supply of food will prepare you and your family for almost any survival scenario, like the total collapse of an economy or civil war.
Again, storage space will be an issue since you will have a lot more items in your stockpile. But if you have the room, this is achievable if you are dedicated to constantly expanding your supply over time.
To build a one-year supply of food for your family, duplicate your six-month supply and add more items to prevent food boredom.
Extend the shelf life of food with proper storage
Make sure your one-year supply of food lasts by storing items properly. Keep your storage location cool, preferably between 50 to 60 F (10 to 15 C) and under 75 F (24 C) if possible.
Note that warmer temperatures accelerate spoilage, while cooler temperatures preserve food longer. Store food away from light, be it artificial light or sunlight, since it can promote decay.
This amount of food is vulnerable to pests like rodents and insects, so make sure your stockroom is secured to keep out various pests. Pests like rats can still get into plastic containers.
If possible, use air-tight metal containers for food storage.
Before SHTF, make it a goal to have a one-year food stockpile so you can keep your family fed during a long-term survival scenario.

Science-backed health benefits of the ancient herb thyme

https://www.naturalnews.com/wp-conte...en-scoop-1.jpg
Thyme has been cherished for centuries for its culinary uses and medicinal value. Ancient Egyptians used it in mummification due to its preservation properties, while the Greeks associated thyme with courage and energy. By the Middle Ages, thyme symbolized bravery and was placed under pillows to help ward off nightmares.Over time, people began to realize that thyme's aromatic oils could fight infections and preserve food. Here are some of the science-backed health benefits of this ancient herb:
Calms and supports the nervous system
The compound carvacrol in thyme has a naturally calming effect on the nervous system. By acting on neurotransmitters (the brain's chemical messengers), carvacrol helps to promote a sense of relaxation, which may be beneficial for people with mild anxiety or stress.
Eases menstrual discomfort naturally
Thyme tea has antispasmodic properties, which can be especially helpful for menstrual cramps. Some active compounds in thyme, such as carvacrol, are known to naturally relieve discomfort and may also help stabilize mood swings associated with menstruation.
Fights bacteria, fungi and microbes
The compound thymol, abundant in thyme, is well known for its antimicrobial properties – making it effective in combating bacterial, fungal and viral infections. Studies published in Microorganisms show thyme oil has antibacterial effects against pathogens like Escherichia coli, Salmonella and Staphylococcus aureus, which cause infections in humans. This makes thyme a potential natural remedy for keeping harmful microbes in check – especially when used as an essential oil.
Guards against foodborne illnesses
Thyme oil's antibacterial activity makes it useful in preventing food spoilage and foodborne infections. Research published in the Brazilian Journal of Biology has shown that even small amounts of thyme oil can inhibit the growth of bacteria, such as Klebsiella pneumoniae, Pseudomonas aeruginosa and Staphylococcus saprophyticus, which are common in food. Thyme's preservative qualities make it an excellent option for keeping food fresh and reducing the risk of illness.
Helps preserve food and prevent food poisoning
The antibacterial properties of thyme make it an effective natural preservative. Thyme's essential oil and its major constituents carvacrol, estragol, linalool, p-cymene and thymol can extend the shelf life of food and may even reduce the risk of food poisoning by killing bacteria and other pathogens that cause foodborne illnesses, such as Shigella.
Improves circulation
Rich in iron and other minerals, thyme is beneficial for circulation because iron is vital for red blood cell production. An increase in red blood cells enhances oxygen supply to organs and tissues, which supports overall energy level, organ function and vitality.
May help fight cancer
The essential oil carvacrol has shown anticancer potential, particularly against colon cancer. Research published in Anticancer Drugs indicates that carvacrol inhibits cancer cell growth and migration.
Uplifts mood and eases stress naturally
Vitamin B6 or pyridoxine in thyme plays a role in regulating neurotransmitters in the brain that influence mood. Regular intake of thyme may support a more stable mood by reducing stress hormone levels and promoting relaxation.
Offers antioxidant protection
Thyme boasts a high content of phenolic antioxidants, such as lutein, thymonin and zeaxanthin, which neutralize free radicals in the body. Free radicals are unstable molecules that cause cell damage – leading to inflammation and chronic diseases. By eliminating free radicals, thyme's antioxidants support brain, heart and skin health, while also slowing cellular aging.
Provides essential vitamins and minerals
Beyond antioxidants, thyme is packed with essential vitamins and minerals, including substantial amounts of vitamins A, C, E and K, as well as B complex vitamins like niacin (B3), pantothenic acid (B5), pyridoxine (B6) and folate (B9). Additionally, thyme is packed with minerals like calcium, iron, magnesium, manganese, potassium and selenium. Together, these nutrients help keep the immune system ready to fight off viral infections and support optimum health.
Strengthens the immune system
Thyme is rich in vitamin C, a powerful antioxidant essential for immune health. This vitamin plays a critical role in stimulating the production of white blood cells, which are our body's first line of defense against infections. It also assists in the formation of collagen, a protein vital for forming, maintaining and repairing blood vessels, cells, muscles, skin and tissues.
Supports bone health and promotes strong bones
Thyme is a natural source of calcium, iron, manganese and vitamin K – all nutrients essential for bone health. Vitamin K plays a crucial role in bone density by assisting calcium absorption, which reduces the risk of osteoporosis.
Supports brain health and enhances cognitive function
Research published in Molecules suggests that thyme may positively influence brain health by supporting the production of dopamine and serotonin – hormones crucial for mood regulation. Thyme's antioxidants and nutrients may help delay the onset of neurodegenerative disorders, including Alzheimer's and Parkinson's by reducing oxidative stress in brain cells.
Supports eye health and improves vision
With high levels of vitamin A, thyme supports eye health by protecting against age-related macular degeneration and cataracts. Vitamin A is an antioxidant that helps neutralize free radicals in the eyes.
Supports heart health, lowers blood pressure and regulates cholesterol
Thyme's manganese and potassium content offers cardiovascular benefits by helping lower blood pressure. Potassium is a natural vasodilator as it relaxes blood vessels, reducing strain on the heart and lowering the risk of atherosclerosis, heart attacks and stroke.
Studies on thyme extract published in Frontiers in Nutrition suggest it can help lower heart rate and reduce levels of LDL ("bad" cholesterol) while raising HDL ("good" cholesterol).
Supports oral health
Thyme is commonly used in dental products due to its ability to reduce oral bacteria and prevent tooth decay. Compounds in thyme help prevent plaque buildup and reduce the risk of gum disease.
This ancient herb has been used traditionally as a mouthwash to combat bad breath and reduce oral thrush – a yeast infection caused by Candida albicans. When mixed with water, thyme oil provides an effective rinse to alleviate thrush symptoms and maintain oral hygiene.
Supports reasonable weight management goals
The compound thymol in thyme is believed to increase metabolism by helping the body break down fats more effectively, which supports weight loss when combined with a healthy diet and active lifestyle. Additionally, thyme tea may help control appetite – making it easier to avoid overeating or snacking between means.
Supports respiratory health
As a natural expectorant, thyme helps clear respiratory passages by thinning mucus, which makes it easier to expel. It is traditionally used to alleviate persistent cough, sinus congestion and sore throat and can be particularly helpful during the cold and flu season.
Supports skin health and protects against atopic dermatitis
Thyme's anti-inflammatory and antibacterial properties are beneficial for skin conditions, such as atopic dermatitis – a long-lasting skin condition that causes inflamed, itchy and red patches on the skin. Thymol has been shown to reduce skin inflammation by limiting inflammatory compounds in the body, which may reduce the risk of secondary bacterial infections, such as those caused by Staphylococcus aureus.

Food preservation techniques: Keep your pantry stocked for any crisis

https://www.naturalnews.com/wp-conte...ursu-Mason.jpg
As a prepper, having a reliable food supply can help set your mind at ease. If you're preparing for emergencies like a power outage, a natural disaster or a civil war, knowing how to preserve food can help you provide for your family when SHTF. (h/t to MomWithAPrep.com) Detailed below are some food preservation methods that can benefit preppers.
Canning (Water bath and pressure canning)
Canning is a tried and tested food preservation method that seals food in jars and heats them to a temperature that destroys bacteria.
A method like water bath canning is ideal for high-acid foods like fruits and jams.
Here are some of the best high-acid foods for water bath canning:
- Apples
- Blackberries
- Blueberries
- Cranberries
- Grapes
- Lemons
- Pears
- Pickles
- Plums
- Sour cherries
- Yellow peaches
On the other hand, pressure canning is best for low-acid foods like vegetables and meats.
Here are some of the best low-acid foods for pressure canning:
- Corn
- Dried Beans
- Green beans (when canned plain with only salt and water)
- Meats
- Potatoes
- Soups
Removing oxygen and sealing the food in airtight containers means canning can extend the shelf life of fruits and vegetables from your garden for several months or even years. Always follow proper canning guidelines to avoid spoilage or contamination. (Related: Quick pickles: The perfect snack to add to your survival stockpile.)
Dehydrating
Dehydrating is a food preservation method that removes moisture from food, making it inhospitable to bacteria and mold.
This method can be simple or you can go high-tech. You can use the sun, your oven or a dehydrator. Dehydrated foods, like jerky, fruits and vegetables can last for months or years.
Fermenting
Fermenting is a food preservation method that uses "good" bacteria to preserve food and is best for vegetables like cabbage and cucumbers, which can produce sauerkraut and pickles, respectively.
The fermentation process produces acids that prevent harmful bacteria from growing in the food.
Freeze drying
Freeze drying is a high-tech food preservation method that removes almost all the water from produce while also retaining its shape, flavor and nutrients.
Freeze-dried foods, such as fruits and vegetables, have an extremely long shelf life. While freeze-dried food can be expensive, investing in a freeze-dryer means you can make your own freeze-dried meals at home.
Alternatively, you can buy lab-verified food from a trusted source to ensure that your family has access to nutritious fruits and vegetables even after SHTF.
Sugaring
Sugaring is a method that preserves a variety of fruits or some vegetables, like carrots or ginger, in sugar or syrup. The high sugar content prevents bacterial growth, which then allows you to store food for longer periods.
Sugaring is ideal for for fruits and produces delicious sweet treats that everyone can enjoy even in emergencies. Use sugaring to turn leftover summer fruits into jam.
Where to buy lab-verified food for your stockpile
The Health Ranger Store is committed to helping you prepare for any emergency as you keep your pantry stocked for different survival scenarios.
That's why we're proud to introduce an assortment of clean, lab-verified and healthy food options such as Freeze-Dried Organic Whole Blueberries, Freeze Dried Organic Peas and Freeze Dried Organic Red Miso Powder.
Organic blueberries are a close relative of cranberries, huckleberries, gooseberries and bilberries, and they are one of the most nutritious and antioxidant-rich fruits in the world.
Packed with beneficial vitamins, minerals and antioxidants, the Health Ranger Store offers Health Ranger Select Freeze-Dried Organic Whole Blueberries, a perfect health snack that you can enjoy all year round. The freeze-drying process preserves the taste, texture and nutrients of fresh blueberries better than other food preservation methods.
Health Ranger Select Freeze-Dried Organic Whole Blueberries contain no gluten or GMOs and are certified Kosher and organic. They are also vegan, non-China and have undergone extensive lab testing for glyphosate, heavy metals and microbiology.
You can also try Freeze Dried Organic Peas, which are freeze-dried, non-GMO peas proudly grown in the U.S. under strict organic standards. The freeze-drying method preserves the taste, texture and nutrients in peas better than any other food preservation method.
You can trust that Freeze Dried Organic Peas from the Health Ranger Store are thoroughly lab-tested for glyphosate, heavy metals and microbiology.
They are also USDA-organic and Kosher-certified. Additionally, Freeze Dried Organic Peas are vegan, gluten-free, laboratory-verified and China-free.
Lastly, you can try Health Ranger Select Organic Freeze-Dried Red Miso Powder.
Ranging from red to dark brown, "aka miso" or red miso is made from organic soybeans fermented with organic rice, though with a higher concentration of organic soybeans and a longer fermentation period than yellow miso.
Red miso is high in protein and best complements most meaty vegetables, such as eggplants and mushrooms. The deep umami flavor of red miso is perfect for braises, hearty soups, marinades, stews, gravies and glazes.
Health Ranger Select Organic Freeze-Dried Red Miso Powder has a stronger flavor than yellow miso. We recommend using it sparingly so as not to overpower milder ingredients in your dish.
Health Ranger Select Organic Freeze-Dried Red Miso Powder is made with the highest-quality organic soybeans, organic rice, sea salt, and organic Aspergillus oryzae as the fermenting agent. The miso is then carefully freeze-dried to extend its shelf life and preserve its freshness and nutritional quality.
Health Ranger Select Organic Freeze-Dried Red Miso Powder is certified organic and Kosher and is packaged in a USDA Certified Organic Facility.
