What’s In Your Medicine Cabinet?
by Mrs Cog
This journey into my medicine cabinet began quite by accident several years ago. It was born out of fear. Fear we might not have access to affordable healthcare in the future. Fear a geo-political event or severe weather emergency might leave us without required medical attention. Fear of personal suffering or worse, of watching my family suffer needlessly.
What did people do before the age of specialization? Nowadays everyone defaults to the “trained professionals” and “experts”, but for thousands of years prior people actually succeeded in taking care of themselves. Surely we modern humans have not out-smarted ourselves to such a degree we cannot take back that responsibility and become empowered.
I can’t tell you what you need in your own medicine cabinet. Everyone has different health needs and profiles, meaning you must identify your own particular list tailored to fit your individual needs and wants. But perhaps by sharing what little I have learned over the past three years I can pass along a few tidbits of wisdom and nudge your thought process in this direction.
Many ordinary plants are a natural source of medicine. Our bodies recognize this and can actually utilize the resources of a plant in concert with our own physiological systems to boost our ability to heal and stay healthy. The theory behind natural medicine involves looking at our entire body’s interconnected systems as one would view an orchestra rather than targeting an affected organ, body part, or just the string or brass section. After all, it really doesn’t matter if those pills killed your headache every few days over the years if they destroyed your liver in the process. So here is what is in my medicine cabinet.
