Prepping for emergencies requires a lot of careful planning, especially when deciding which foods you should stock up on. While making sure you and your family don't starve to death when SHTF is the ultimate goal, building a survival food stockpile is not as simple as filling your pantry with groceries.In a survival situation, you'll need your strength and your wits. But you won't be able to sustain these by just eating energy bars and junk food. In order to be at your best physically and mentally, you will need to eat nutritious foods – foods that can give you all the nutrients your body needs to stay strong and function properly.

12 Emergency foods to stock up on

When planning your emergency supply, add nutrition to your list of considerations. These survival foods offer not only energy and versatility but also loads of nutritional value: (h/t to Survivopedia.com)
Lentils

Lentils are a rich source of fiber for your gut and protein to give you energy and help you feel full for longer. They also contain potassium and folate, which can help with managing blood pressure, plus iron and thiamine (vitamin B1) which are important nutrients for maintaining healthy energy levels. (Related: 6 Nutritious sources of plant protein for vegans and vegetarians.)
Millet

Millet is a nutritious and filling substitute for white rice. This gluten-free whole grain is packed with antioxidants, fiber and protein -- everything your body needs to stay strong and healthy -- and more. Millet is also a great source of phosphorus, magnesium, folate, iron and calcium, an important nutrient for strong bones, healthy blood vessels and proper neve and muscle functions.
Quinoa

Quinoa is a healthy alternative to pasta – a survival food staple. Like millet, quinoa is rich in fiber, antioxidants and protein and is an excellent source of the amino acid lysine. Lysine is needed for the production of carnitine, a nutrient that helps convert fatty acids into energy. Quinoa also provides plenty of iron, magnesium, folate and manganese.
Powdered milk

Powdered milk is an excellent addition to your survival food stockpile. Milk is nutritious on its own and is also a versatile culinary ingredient whether in liquid or powder form. But powdered milk is more shelf-stable, able to last for up to 20 years if stored properly. It is also a great source of protein, calcium, magnesium, iron and vitamins B6, B12, C and D (if fortified).
Instant coffee

Coffee is an energizing drink that can boost your alertness and morale, thanks to its high amounts of caffeine. It also provides vitamins B2 and B3, magnesium, potassium and a wealth of powerful antioxidants, making instant coffee, which can last up to two years if unopened, a great survival item to have in your emergency stockpile. For coffee that lasts longer in storage (three to five years), stock up on freeze-dried instant coffee.
Cocoa

Cocoa is another rich source of antioxidants and essential nutrients like potassium, protein, iron, vitamin C and magnesium. Because cocoa also contains caffeine, this versatile superfood can help boost morale and alertness while being a comforting treat in stressful situations. You'll be happy to know that cocoa powder doesn't spoil because it contains very little moisture – making it a long-term storable survival food – but it does lose its taste and potency.
Juices

Like milk and coconut water, juices are a great source of electrolytes – electrically charged minerals that help with hydration. They can also provide essential vitamins and help you maintain healthy energy levels. Opt for juices with low pH (acidic) like lemon, cranberry, pomegranates, blueberries and grapefruit as these tend to have a longer shelf life than alkaline ones. Some good options for storage are powdered juices and concentrates in cans, preferably without added sugar.
Nuts and seeds

Nuts and seeds are some of the most nutritious foods in the world. They're rich in essential nutrients and healthy fats that provide energy and aid in nutrient absorption, and they're great for snacking on their own or as ingredients for cooking or baking. When stored in a cool, dry place, nuts and seeds in airtight containers can last up to 12 months. (Related: Seeds of life: Keep your food supply alive after SHTF.)
Honey

Honey is a versatile survival item that can be used as a natural sweetener, a natural antibiotic and as a remedy for wounds and some minor ailments. Raw honey also contains small amounts of protein, vitamins, minerals, functional enzymes and antioxidants that can support healthy immune function and good overall health. Because of its low water content and high acidity, raw honey is not prone to spoilage and can last indefinitely when stored properly in a cool, dry place.
Freeze-dried fruits and vegetables

It is universally known that fresh produce don't last very long in storage, which is why freeze-dried fruits and vegetables are the best options for your emergency stockpile. Freeze-dried foods can last up to 25 years when kept in airtight containers in a cool, dry place away from sunlight. Compared to dehydrated foods, they also retain about 97 percent of their original nutrient content, making freeze-dried foods some of the most nutritious foods you can stock up on.
Vinegar

Although not a fount of nutrition, vinegar (white or apple cider) is an invaluable addition to your food stockpile. Aside from adding flavor to dishes, vinegar can be used to preserve food, make non-toxic DIY cleaning solutions or kill garden weeds. You can also use vinegar to remove rust from metal surfaces and even to neutralize airborne odors. Because it is highly acidic and a product of fermentation, vinegar is self-preserving and has an almost indefinite shelf life.
Herbs and spices

Herbs and spices are essential pantry inclusions because they can add both flavor and nutrition to your meals. Some of the most commonly used herbs and spices in the kitchen like black and chili peppers, garlic, ginger and cinnamon also happen to be high in antioxidants plus certain vitamins and minerals. When storing spices, choose whole spices since they retain their aromatic quality longer than ground ones. Whole spices can last up to five years when stored properly while ground spices last only two.
Similarly, fresh herbs can be stored in glass Mason jars or vacuum sealed bags to prolong their shelf life. When stored this way, they'll keep for about two years. Alternatively, you can grow herbs and spices (even fruits and vegetables) in your backyard so you can have access to fresh ingredients whenever you need them.

Building a survival food stockpile that caters to you and your family's preferences and specific needs requires careful thought and planning. Remember to only store foods that your family eats and to rotate your supplies so you can consume old items before they go to waste. Most importantly, make a list of simple yet nutritious recipes you and your family love so it will be much easier to fill your survival pantry with items that you need.

Consumer beware: Harmful ingredients in toothpaste and natural alternatives you can use

12/12/2024 // HRS Editors // 610 Views

Tags: badhealth, Dangerous, dental care, dental health, dentistry, Fluoride, health science, microplastics, natural health, natural ingredients, oral care, oral health, oral hygiene, poison, products, sweeteners, toxic chemicals, toxic ingredients, toxins

• Switching to natural and non-toxic toothpaste alternatives like tooth salt with neem, or products containing natural abrasives like calcium carbonate and xylitol, can help maintain oral health safely.
• The Health Ranger Store offers lab-verified natural oral care products, including Toothsalt with Neem, Silver Breath Spray and OraMD Original Strength – The Mouth Doctor, which are alternatives to chemical-filled toothpaste.
• Toothsalt with Neem is a non-China product that uses pure and natural ingredients like sea salt and organic neem powder for outstanding oral health without synthetic chemicals.
• Health Ranger Select Silver Breath Spray is a fluoride-free, alcohol-free and aspartame-free mint flavor spray for quick breath freshening. It is China-free and lab-tested for safety.
• OraMD Original Strength – The Mouth Doctor is a chemical-free alternative to toothpaste, mouthwash and breath fresheners. It can be used for teeth cleaning and fighting cavities, plaque and tartar.

While the average American believes that brushing with commercial toothpaste is good for oral health, not many know that many brands use harmful chemicals. Fortunately, you can avoid these chemicals by switching to natural and non-toxic alternatives, such as toothsalt with neem. (h/t to DiscoverDentalRocklin.com.)
Below are some common ingredients to avoid in toothpaste and why they're bad for your health.
Artificial sweeteners

Toothpaste may contain artificial sweeteners like aspartame or saccharin to enhance flavor. However, these sweeteners offer no dental benefits and can harm your health, especially if you have sensitivities or health issues such as diabetes.
Natural sweeteners like xylitol sweeten toothpaste, but they also help prevent tooth decay by reducing harmful bacteria in the mouth.
Fluoride

Fluoride is often used in toothpaste because of its alleged cavity-fighting properties, but the excessive ingestion of fluoride can cause fluorosis, a condition characterized by discoloration and weakening of tooth enamel.
To avoid fluoride, look for fluoride-free toothpaste enriched with natural minerals like calcium and phosphate, which can both help strengthen tooth enamel and promote remineralization.
Microbeads

Microbeads are tiny plastic particles that are often added to toothpaste for abrasive purposes. While they seem to help scrub away plaque and stains, microbeads can also be abrasive to the enamel and harmful to the environment.
Avoid microbeads by switching to toothpaste with natural abrasives like calcium carbonate (chalk) or baking soda, that gently polish teeth without causing damage. (Related: Survival dental care: Keeping your teeth clean and healthy when SHTF.)
Propylene glycol

Propylene glycol is a synthetic compound used in toothpaste to keep it from drying out. But propylene glycol may cause allergic reactions and irritation in some people.
Instead, choose propylene glycol-free toothpaste or use products with glycerin, a natural humectant that helps retain moisture in the mouth without any negative side effects.
Sodium lauryl sulfate

Sodium lauryl sulfate (SLS) is a foaming agent used in several toothpaste brands. SLS produces the lather typically associated with clean teeth, but it can also irritate the mouth, which may result in canker sores and dryness.
Choose SLS-free toothpaste or natural alternatives like coconut oil, which can help maintain moisture in the mouth.
Triclosan

Triclosan is an antibacterial agent usually added to toothpaste to prevent gum disease. However, according to data, triclosan has been linked to antibiotic resistance and hormonal disruptions.
Choose triclosan-free toothpaste or use products with tea tree oil, a natural ingredient that can help maintain good oral health without adverse side effects.

Exciting new study uncovers combination of nutrients that can slow down brain aging

12/16/2024 // Evangelyn Rodriguez // 30 Views

Tags: #nutrition, aging secrets, alternative medicine, anti-aging science, antioxidants, brain aging, brain function, brain health, carotenoids, choline, cognitive function, cognitive health, food is medicine, food science, goodfood, goodhealth, goodmedicine, goodscience, health science, healthy diet, Mediterranean diet, natural health, natural medicine, nutrients, omega-3 fatty acids, Omega-6, phytonutrients, research, vitamin E



A new study published in the journal NPJ Aging identified a nutrient pattern that researchers believe can support healthy brain aging. Upon comparing the brains of a sample population of older adults, the study discovered two distinct phenotypes of brain health -- one that showed signs of accelerated aging and one that exhibited "slower-than-expected" aging.
Analysis of dietary biomarkers associated with the latter phenotype revealed a nutrient profile that features high concentrations of specific vitamins, antioxidants and fatty acids. Participants with this particular nutrient profile scored better on cognitive tests, suggesting that dietary interventions specifically targeting the right combination of nutrients may be the key to slowing down brain aging.
Mediterranean Diet offers the right nutrients for slower brain aging

Nutritional cognitive neuroscience is a relatively new field of research that explores "the impact of nutrition on cognition and brain health across the lifespan." Recent advances in this field show that diet and nutrition may offer significant benefits for the aging brain. According to studies, dietary markers associated with the Mediterranean Diet correlate to healthy brain aging. A review published in Current Opinion in Clinical Nutrition and Metabolic Care noted that high adherence to the Mediterranean Diet not only leads to slower cognitive decline but also decreases one's risk of developing Alzheimer's disease.
Given that the brain benefits of the Mediterranean Diet stem from its abundance of nutrients that have known functional relationships with the human brain, researchers began investigating the effects of individual nutrients linked to this eating pattern on brain function, white matter integrity and gray matter volume. Aside from observable cognitive decline, aging also brings about a decrease in white matter fiber integrity and cerebral volume -- both caused by neuronal (brain cells) degradation, among other structural changes.
In the NPJ Aging study, researchers sought to identify phenotypes characteristic of both accelerated and delayed brain aging. They recruited 100 older adults who were subjected to neuroimaging in order to quantify their individual brain structures, analyze their functional brain connectivity, and identify relevant brain metabolites. The participants also underwent a battery of neuropsychological tests to measure their intelligence, executive function and memory.
Lastly, the researchers looked for distinct nutrient biomarker profiles matching the opposite brain aging phenotypes, with a special focus on nutrients associated with the Mediterranean Diet that have known beneficial effects on brain performance. (Related: Study shows "green" Mediterranean diet helps boost brain function.)
Relative to participants that exhibited accelerated brain aging, the researchers found that those with delayed brain aging had larger brain volumes, better white matter integrity, increased concentrations of brain metabolites and increased functional connectivity for the whole brain. The latter also had an average brain age of 59.7 while those with accelerated brain aging had an average brain age of 65.1. Brain age was negatively associated with brain volume, white matter tracts, brain metabolites and functional connectivity measures.
Participants with delayed brain aging outperformed those with accelerated brain aging on all cognitive tests. After analyzing the nutritional status of the participants using blood samples, the researchers were able to build a nutrient biomarker profile for individuals with delayed brain aging. They identified 13 key brain nutrients that those with delayed brain aging had in abundance. These nutrients – many of which can be obtained by following the Mediterranean Diet – were:

• Monounsaturated fatty acids: cis-Vaccenic acid and cis-gondoic acid
• Polyunsaturated fatty acids: Alpha-linolenic acid (ALA), eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA), docosadienoic acid (DDA) and eicosadienoic acid (EDA)
• Saturated fatty acid: Lignoceric acid
• Carotenoids: Lutein and zeaxanthin
• Vitamins: Vitamin E
• Choline

To rule out the possibility of other factors contributing to slower or accelerated brain aging, the researchers also investigated multiple measures of demographics, anthropometrics (physical properties of the body) and physical fitness. None of these variables varied between the two phenotypes, suggesting that they have no effect on the rate of brain aging.
Nutrients your brain needs for healthy aging

As reported by the NPJ Aging study, maintaining high levels of the following nutrients may contribute to slower cognitive decline in older adults:
Vaccenic acid is an isomer of oleic acid, an omega-9 fatty acid and the predominant fat in olive oil. A kind of trans-fatty acid found in human milk, this long-chain fatty acid has been reported to have antibacterial and cholesterol-lowering effects. Vaccenic acid can also be found in some plants, such as china root (Smilax china) and white willow (Salix alba), two traditional Chinese and Indian medicinal herbs. Vaccenic acid is metabolically converted into conjugated linoleic acid (CLA), an omega-6 fatty acid that is said to protect against neuroinflammation.
Gondoic acid, also known as 11-eicosenoic acid, is an omega-9 fatty acid found in plant oils like jojoba oil and camelina seed oil, chia seeds and some nuts. Gondoic has been shown to suppress inflammation by inhibiting the expression of pro-inflammatory factors, reduce the production of free radicals like reactive oxygen species (ROS), and increase the expression of antioxidant genes. Gondoic acid is one of the metabolic precursors of nervonic acid, the predominant fatty acid in white matter tissue.
Alpha-linolenic acid (ALA) is an essential omega-3 fatty acid found in many plant-based foods such as flaxseed, chia seeds, walnuts, edamame, avocados, navy beans and zucchini. According to studies, about eight percent and four percent of dietary ALA are converted to eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) and docosahexaenoic acid (DHA), respectively, in healthy males, while 21 percent and nine percent are converted to EPA and DHA, respectively, in healthy females. EPA and DHA are animal-based omega-3s that are said to enhance brain function and reduce brain inflammation.
Docosadienoic acid (DDA) is a very long-chain omega-6 fatty acid that occurs naturally in animal- and plant-based foods, such as safflower oil, sunflower seeds, cheese and meats. DDA has been found to exhibit strong antioxidant, anti-inflammatory and antitumor activities against human breast cancer cells.
Eicosadienoic acid (EDA) is an omega-6 fatty acid found in human milk, chia seeds, purple-spine sea urchin and two species of Indian ginseng, namely, Panax bipinnatifidus and P. pseudoginseng. According to a study published in the journal Diabetes, EDA may play a beneficial role in inflammation and may help mitigate insulin resistance, thus lowering the risk of diabetes. Like DDA, EDA has been shown to have antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties exceeding those of DHA.
Lignoceric acid is a very long-chain saturated fatty acid found in peanuts, macadamia nuts and certain seed oils. A study published in the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition found that having high concentrations of long-chain fatty acids in the blood leads to reduced cognitive decline in older adults. A study that compared the brain characteristics of women without cognitive issues and women who developed Alzheimer's also reported that the former had high concentrations of lignoceric acid in their brain tissues.
Carotenoids are plant pigments found in brightly colored fruits and vegetables like spinach, carrots, tomatoes, orange bell peppers, watermelon, spinach and cantaloupes. Carotenoids are known for their powerful antioxidant properties, with alpha- and beta-carotene also serving as precursors to vitamin A. Thanks to their antioxidant activities, carotenoids can protect the brain from oxidative damage. The brain is highly susceptible to oxidative stress due to its high lipid concentrations and high metabolic activity.
Vitamin E is a fat-soluble antioxidant vitamin that stops the production of ROS, a byproduct of fat oxidation. Studies show that having high levels of vitamin E in plasma is associated with better cognitive function in healthy adults, the elderly and people with Alzheimer's disease. Rich sources of vitamin E include sunflower seeds and oil, peanuts, hazelnuts, safflower oil, spinach, broccoli, kiwifruit, mangoes, tomatoes, almonds and corn. (Related: One serving of greens daily slows brain aging by over a decade.)
Choline, sometimes called vitamin B4 due to its chemical similarities to B vitamins, is neither a vitamin nor a mineral but is an essential nutrient. Choline is found in a variety of foods, such as eggs, milk, poultry, kidney beans, quinoa, cauliflower, potatoes, peanuts, soybeans, beef and shiitake mushroom. Choline is a necessary nutrient for brain health and function because it serves as a precursor to phosphatidylcholine, a major component of cell membranes. Choline is also involved in the synthesis of acetylcholine, an important chemical that carries messages from the brain to different parts of the body via nerve cells.
A healthy diet and proper nutrition are important for maintaining a healthy brain. Learn more about how to support healthy brain aging at AntiAgingScience.news.

20 Medicinal Herbs Every Prepper Must Grow

by CHRISTINE C.
March 28, 2024


Knowing how to find, grow, and use medicinal herbs is an important skill to develop for any seasoned prepper.
After all, many of the life-saving pharmaceuticals we use today were created using compounds from common plants. For example, aspirin comes from white willow bark.
Whether you’re growing a medicinal herb garden, or simply want to know how to identify and make use of common medicinal plants in an emergency, here are 20 medicinal herbs every prepper should grow.
Evening Primrose

It is known for its colorful yellow or pinkish flowers that bloom at night in spring and summer.
It is both a medicinal and an edible plant.
Traditionally, Native Americans were known to brew tea from the whole plant for coughs, stomach ache, and sore throats.
The root, flowers, and young leaves are edible and rich in nutrients like vitamin C. The roots and stems were used to create poultices and tinctures to encourage fast healing for cuts and bruises.
California Poppy

California Poppy is an edible, medicinal, flowering plant that blooms from late winter to early spring. The roots were used by Native American tribes to create a natural analgesic to manage pain.
The Californian Poppy doesn’t have any narcotic or addictive effects like the opium poppy does.
However, it can help with sleep, anxiety, and pain management. The golden flowers and poppy seeds can be eaten like a snack and the pollen can be used as a dye.
Although many Native American tribes used California Poppy for medicinal use, other tribes refused to use the plant due to its potential for toxicity when not properly prepared.
Calendula

Calendula blooms from late fall through spring. Originally from Southern Europe, it quickly became popular around the world for its health benefits.
The dried petals of the calendula plant can be used in tinctures, infusions, ointments, and wound-cleaning solutions to prevent infections.

Sage

Sage is a widely cultivated medicinal plant that gained prominence in Native American and Chinese herbal medicine. Although there are hundreds of sage species, Common sage is the most used variety today.
It’s traditionally harvested for medicinal use in early summer.
Sage is a proven anti-inflammatory, anti-virus, and anti-bacterial — and has also been used to manage high blood sugar, oral pain, stomach pain, and cholesterol.
As powerful as this herb may be, sage also contains a chemical called thujone which can cause seizures or damage to your liver and nervous system in large doses. Because of this, sage should be used with care.
Peppermint

Peppermint, a wide-ranging hybrid species of mint, can be found growing wild throughout the Americas and Europe and is cultivated for its medical benefits worldwide.
This potent herbal remedy is known for its powerful antiseptic, antispasmodic, and antibacterial properties.

Stinging Nettle

Stinging nettle is known for its anti-inflammatory benefits and natural diuretic properties — It’s also thought to help alleviate seasonal allergies.
When eaten as food, stinging nettle is packed full of vitamins C, K, iron, and calcium. It can be consumed alone, with other food, or in herbal tea infusions.
However, the fine hairs on stinging nettle leaves can cause painful irritation to the skin. So, it is important to cook, dry, boil, and strain the leaves before consuming them. Additionally, stinging nettle can cause changes in blood pressure for some people.
Rosemary

Rosemary is an aromatic herb with needle-like leaves.
It has been cultivated as a folk medicine to help manage conditions like headaches, stomach aches, spasms, and muscle pain. It’s also believed to boost brain health, the immune system, and the circulatory system.
As food, rosemary is rich in nutrients like manganese, iron, calcium, and B vitamins which can help provide a nutrient boost when times are lean. According to some studies, rosemary has potent antibacterial, antiviral, and antifungal properties.
Comfrey

Thanks to it’s astringent and anti-inflammatory properties, comfrey has been used as a treatment for bruises, sprains, and pulled muscles. When applied as a compress or poultice, it was believed to lessen inflammation. The Native Americans considered comfrey a sacred multi-purpose healing plant and used it in both topical treatments and teas using dried leaves.
Comfrey was also used for food in Ireland (for both people and livestock) during the potato famine of the 1840s. Conversely, in the US during the Great Depression, it was this superweed that saved large communities from starvation. It could be a real lifesaver when there’s no other food around.
Goldenseal

Goldenseal has strong anti-inflammatory and antimicrobial properties that promote faster wound healing. It is often found in herbal remedies for hay fever, the flu, allergies, and for treating symptoms like sore throat and congestion. New studies have also identified Goldenseal as a potential natural LDL-c (“bad cholesterol”) lowering agent.
Goldenseal is mostly used as a “natural antibiotic” and is often combined with echinacea to help strengthen the immune system.
To prepare for medicinal use, roots are typically harvested, dried, and ground to create teas, poultices, tinctures, and salves.
Nasturtium

Nasturtium is a powerful herb that has anti-septic, anti-fungal, and anti-inflammatory properties. The flowers and leaves are edible and contain important nutrients like vitamin C, calcium, potassium, phosphorus, magnesium, zinc, copper and iron.
The leaves, seeds, and flowers can help fight infections when brewed as a tea.
They can also be effectively used as an herbal salve, poultice, cream, oil, decoction, or tincture.
Nasturtium contains mustard oil and can cause skin irritation. Additionally, pregnant women should not use this herb.
Mullein

Mullein is a wild flowering herb native to Europe and Asia but has since been cultivated worldwide for its many interesting uses.
For example, early settlers and Native Americans were said to line their shoes with mullein leaves in cold months.
What Happens If You Smoke Mullein (Video)

What’s more, mullein stalks were used as torches, the flowers were crushed to make dyes, and fishermen were known to throw the rotenone-rich seeds in slow-moving waters to stun and catch fish more easily.
Mullein has a rich history of medicinal use in both European folk medicine and Native American healing practices. According to studies examining the efficacy of Mullein in medicine, Mullein can be used as an effective antispasmodic, expectorant, and for its anti-inflammatory properties. A tea brewed with dried mullein leaves can be used in an emergency to treat cough, tuberculosis, bronchitis, pneumonia, headaches, and earaches.
Spilanthes (The Toothache Plant)

Spilanthes, also known as “toothache plant”, is famous for its edible parts and mouth numbing flowers. Thanks to the pain-relieving, anti-inflammatory, and analgesic properties of spilanthol in the plant,
Spilanthes is a blessing to have around when you have a painful toothache.
Chewing the raw flowers of this plant can provide you with almost immediate oral pain relief. The intense tingling sensation provides a deep mouth cleansing that can help to ward off early signs of infection.
Additionally, the leaves of Spilanthes are edible and are often eaten raw or cooked with other foods for a vitamin-packed nutrient boost.
Self-Heal/Heal-All

Self-heal, also called “Heal-all” or “Heart-of-the-earth”, is a well-known medicinal plant that has blooms in late summer, with unique, purple-colored flowers. Historically, it’s believed to help remove heavy metals from the body and clean deep wounds. Self-heal has shown promise during lab studies for its potent anti-inflammatory and tumor-fighting properties.
Self-heal can be used topically, in a salve or poultice, or prepared for internal use, such as a tea or capsule. However, if you’ve never used self-heal internally before, you may experience side effects like nausea or a headache; It may also interact with certain medications and pregnancy.
The plants on this list can treat many common ailments and even save lives in an emergency. You can buy packets of medicinal herb seed for cheap, and they will pay dividends and become invaluable in a crisis when access to medications is scarce.
Developing a working knowledge of local medicinal plants can be a lifesaver, especially if there’s limited access to adequate nutrition or emergency services in your area.
Still, you may need to do some extra research to familiarize yourself with the medicinal herbs that grow in your region, toxic look-alikes to avoid, and how to properly prepare the plant for medicinal use.
Lastly, before using medicinal herbs, it’s important to weigh the risks and benefits as some herbs may not be safe for some people.
