Must haves for your first aid kit :-O

Whether you have children in the house or not (but especially if you do), you need a first aid kit. Here is a helpful list (in no particular order):

• Colloidal Silver- cuts, insect bites, burns, sore throat, burning  eyes and a whole slew of other reasons
• Hydrogen peroxide (3%)- ear aches, hardened ear wax and topical infections
• Elderberry syrup or berries- first sign of illness 
• Oregano- tough to get the kids to take but it is wonderful for sinus infections and colds. Also wonderful for fungal infections!
• Nettles- any and all histamine responses (allergy season, food allergies, pet allergies etc.)
• Garlic oil- ear aches and infections.

• Calendula ointment (or any combinations with it)- burns, lacerations and irrittaions.

This is not an exhaustive list but it is a base from which to build. When a loved one is feeling under the weather it is best to start with the basics and then "throw the kitchen sink" at it when necessary. If you have a first aid kit already built into your home it makes it much easier to buy additional supplements and products on an "as need" basis. Stay healthy out there!!
