ARNICA, BONESET, CALENDULA, CATNIP, CATNIP_MEDICINE

PREPPER LIST OF WILD HERBS OF NATIVE AMERICAN'S  (Arnica), Arnica Montana used throughout Europe and North America since the 1500’s as a cream or ointment, effective for soothing muscles, reducing inflammation and healing wounds. When brewed as a tea, this amazing herb has been used for stress, sleeping problems, emotional trauma making it an excellent “meltdown herb.” I've been using herbs that are collectable from your back yards for medicine cupboards in rough times as North America Indians have always used. ................  Eupatorium Perfoliatum (Boneset), an herb traditionally used by Native Americans, who called it “Ague Weed,” now commonly called “#boneset.” It’s a great remedy for treating the symptoms of influenza, and helpful for treating aches and pains and fever. Occasional use of boneset leaves brewed as tea helps detoxify the body, removing excess uric acid. It also acts as to expulse other toxins. In a survival instance, this herb can mean the difference between life and death in high fever or poisoning. ............ Calendula Officinalis (Calendula), is one of the most widely used herbs for relieving an upset stomach, ulcers, menstrual cramps and is known for having anti-inflammatory, antiviral and antibacterial effects. A boutique soap and cosmetic maker charges upwards of $40 per bottle of skin toner made from calendula extract. You can make this at home. The most helpful use of calendula is as a tincture made from leaves or flowers, used as soak for poultices to help heal wounds. It is a great, natural antibacterial agent. .................... 5) Nepeta Cataria (Catnip), has a long history of being used as a digestive aid. It’s a natural sedative that also helps to ease digestion, colic and diarrhea. Dehydration caused by diarrhea, and high body temperatures caused by fevers can be life-threatening. A tea brewed from its leaves may help alleviate these symptoms. Catmint is also a mild sedative that naturally helps calm the nerves during stressful situations. .............. 6) Capsicum Annuum (Red Pepper),  is a powerful pain reliever when applied topically, and is used to treat osteoarthritis and rheumatoid arthritis and shingles. Use this pepper to help with everything from seasickness to a fever. It is easy to grow, and versatile in use, which means it should be a staple of your survival medicine cabinet. FOR YEAST INFECTIONS: ..................................................     Medicinal Herbs to Grow at Home From echinacea to lemon balm, growing medicinal herbs in your home garden can provide convenient access to many natural remedies.                         To make echinacea tea, use 2 to 4 teaspoons of fresh echinacea flowers per cup of water. Enjoy!                                      Even urban dwellers with little more than a balcony, tiny backyard or windowsill can grow their own food. In the following excerpt, learn how to add six medicinal herbs to your garden for easy access to natural remedies for everything from headaches to sore throats.  Echinacea (Echinacea purpurea) This native perennial, also known as the purple coneflower, is a glorious garden plant that grows 24 to 36 inches tall, and sometimes even taller. It has a long blooming period, starting in the summertime. Echinacea grows large purple flowers that look similar to daisies. This drought-tolerant herb is a must in a summertime bouquet. Echinacea flowers attract wildlife like bees, butterflies, and other essential garden pollinators. Echinacea boosts the immune system to prevent the common cold or flu. Make it into a tea, as described below. Making Echinacea Tea To make echinacea tea, use 1 to 2 teaspoons of dried or 2 to 4 teaspoons of fresh echinacea flowers, leaves, stems, or roots per cup of water. Allow whatever part of the plant you’re using to steep in a teapot in boiling water for 15 to 20 minutes. Then strain the echinacea and pour the tea into a cup. You can sweeten the tea, if you like, with honey, fresh stevia leaves or raw agave nectar. Feverfew (Tanacetum parthenium) This perennial medicinal herb is part of the chrysanthemum family. It’s easy to grow, and once it blooms in spring, it doesn’t stop. You can use the versatile leaves and flowers of this prolific plant to make a healing tea or a fragrant summertime bouquet. Feverfew has been used in Chinese medicine for millennia to reduce fevers and help with headaches and digestive ailments. A bushy, popular herb, feverfew was used as a filler plant in cottage-style Victorian flower beds and gardens. Feverfew can be at your service at any time throughout the growing season. Simply prune off enough flowers and leaves to make tea for immediate consumption, or harvest more to dry and use later in the winter. During the growing season you can chew on a few leaves to relieve a headache, or steep 4 tablespoons of fresh feverfew (leaves, stem, and flower) per cup of boiling water for 10 minutes. Then strain and drink the tea. You can also dry the entire plant and use it to make tea. Steep 2 tablespoons of dried feverfew per cup of boiling water for 10 minutes. Strain and drink the tea. Feverfew helps relieve migraines as well as fevers, minor pain and inflammation.  Lemon Balm (Melissa officinalis) Of the many herbs in the mint family, one of my favorites is lemon balm because it is fragrant, easy to grow, and makes a delicious hot or iced tea with a lemony twist by itself or mixed with mint and other herbs. You can also add cool lemon balm tea to ice-cold lemonade for a particularly refreshing drink. Medicinally, lemon balm helps with insomnia or an upset stomach; it promotes longevity and reduces anxiety, and if you crush a few fresh leaves and apply them to your skin, it is effective as a mosquito repellent. It also has antiviral and antibacterial properties and is great for an all-natural lip balm; oil made from lemon balm is popular in aromatherapy. Commercially, lemon balm is used in toothpaste. It’s a great perennial to grow in containers and has many culinary uses, especially as a seasoning for meats and fish. It’s also delicious in ice cream and fruit salads. Lemon balm is one of my first go-to herbs when it starts growing every spring. You’ll have plenty of lemon balm in no time. Small flowers grow throughout the stem, rather than at the top; trim them often and you’ll still get plenty of flowers and seeds to save for later use. Lemon balm is great for soothing upset stomachs and as a mosquito repellent. Helps relieve minor cuts, burns, and mosquito bites. Make it into a tea or poultice.  Hyssop Blue (Hyssopus officinalis) This perennial medicinal herb is a big help during flu season. The plants yield beautiful blue, small, edible flower spikes that grow to about 2 feet tall. I love the way they look in the garden. The medicinal properties of hyssop blue, when it’s used as a tea, include relief of indigestion and lung congestion. When it is used externally, hyssop blue is thought to speed up the healing of skin ailments because of its antibacterial properties. A member of the mint family, hyssop blue makes a relaxing tea, combined with lemon balm, to help ease a cough or cold. Even though it is a perennial plant, you’ll need to re-seed every few years for a continuous harvest. Hyssop blue seeds can take up to 30 days to germinate from seed, so it’s a good idea to use transplants from a local nursery or garden center. Hyssop blue helps with digestion and lung congestion associated with a cold or cough and helps to heal skin. Make it into a tea or poultice. Yarrow (Achillea millefolium) This medicinal perennial herb is easy to grow and comes in many different varieties. It is a drought-tolerant native of North America, and its flowers come in an amazing array of hues. Yarrow is a fragrant addition to summertime bouquets and dried-flower arrangements. It is easy to start in your own garden, from either seed or transplants, and it will thrive if you frequently cut off clusters of 10 to 20 tiny flowers. Native Americans used yarrow to help with headaches, reduce fevers, and get to sleep. It is most commonly available with yellow or white flowers; its foliage can vary from lime-green to silvery gray, fernlike leaves. Yarrow helps reduce fevers, headache, and menstrual symptoms, and can be used as an astringent and sleep aid. Make it into a tea or poultice. Lavender Bergamot (Monarda fistulosa) This prolific medicinal herb is a fragrant perennial used for aromatherapy; its citrus scent is said to soothe the soul. A member of the mint family, lavender bergamot can be used in refreshing summertime drinks, sprinkled in salads, and used medicinally in teas to relieve a sore throat. The lovely lavender leaves can be used fresh or dried in teas to ease a winter cold, and the flowers make a beautiful addition to bouquets and other floral arrangements. Lavender bergamot is at its strongest and tastiest—and it is best to use it—before the herb flowers. And it will flower, as it should be allowed to do, all summer long. Lavender bergamot helps to soothe a sore throat. Make it into a tea. Reprinted with permission from Gardening By Cuisine by Patti Moreno and published by Sterling, 2013.

#URICACIDS CAUSES GOUT, ARTHITIS, RHUMITISM,

Other sources of proteins other
than meats. In plants they're
are normal balanced amounts in
plants sources. Nature does know best.

Arthritis, Neuropathy Pain with using some simple natural remedies (I do worry that you will think you have to use everything on a post. SO DON'T DO THE WHOLE PAGE ALL AT ONCE. HOW WOULD YOU KNOW WHICH ONE WORKED OR DIDN'T? Here are some I've used:  Here are two recipes specifically for arthritis given on this page plus a few good links for those who need more knowledge to other herbs that my work for you. We are all at different stages of arthritis. (ACID AND ITS CRYSTALLIZATION CONDITIONS) Having arthritis (lupus),and gout; I’ve decided to summit my few simple natural remedies that works for me. Some, I no longer do, or all the time, but refer back to when needed (juicing). Don’t do all of these suggestions at once, and do more research to see if every herb taken in, if it will interfere with what your are already taking.
In the past it use to be long horrible every day nagging pain that eventually could wear anyone down. I couldn’t walk for the pain in my left hip, which was so unbearable to the point of finally a wheel chair existence.
These suggestions managed my disability. I still have one some my major problems weight and with pain from neuropathy diabetic problems. life's not easy, but it was worse on drugs.

Herbal for pain: (Sub for Ibuprofen) If I take Chanca Piedra every day this pain no longer bothers me. I’m a so much better, not in constant pain. And no longer takes pain drugs as they acerbate arthritic and neuropathy problems. Sites are given at the bottom for herbal suggestion that are not included here, but may be more valid for some readers. One of the herbal co. now carry it in pill form.
I like licorice root too. A must, it natural cortisone.

This page includes all types of arthritis, gout, i.e. and is the researched result to my trying many products on the market and drugs that made my health worse plus didn’t work. These suggestions are what I’ve found that works the best. If you need to add any natural remedy please do so. Some remedies work for some and not for others. Many sell product and push drugs but don’t have any real experience with pain for these disabilities at all. Pay attention and listen to your body, it will give you signal.

Start toward a goal of a Semi Fast Diet or to milder simpler foods, which I named "mild food" (This is a plant based diet-vegan or vegetarian will work too.) helps to minimize pain, and keep the colon so it can eliminate a toxin process. Maintain the mild food diet (plant based) will keep your body at a normal Ph. (Meat creates an acid condition in the body, if the arthritis it too bad/painful its best to cut meat.)
Foods: Some may have to take the dairy out of your diet because of inflammation that is involved in arthritis. There is non-dairy probiotics products on the market. (All fermented foods are in this category, such as, sauerkraut is great food for arthritis if not heated.) (This iris is showing an "acid" stomach bad pH. The white circle about the pupil. It's reaching far out into the body shown by the rosary's on the edge of the iris (white, to brown colors)


This totally depends on the amount of pain or arthritis you have.
The concentrated animal based protein makes pain worse. Remember, animals, intuitively don’t eat when in pain. . Watch how you feel when you eat a food. Log it in your journal. This is so basic to maintain that food diary. Write down how you feel that day, even if your brain feels foggy record the foods you are. Keep in that daily diary not only a list of foods eaten every day, but what supplements, drugs, i.e. you’ve taking and how you feel after taking them. This can teach you so much about how to treat your own disease or illness. If this is not working move on to another herb or supplement. (Keep a journal of herbs, pain, drug, and food...be your own doctor. This will show up your mistakes that's not working and why.) You’re your own white rat and you have entitlement to inspiration from the Spirit for your own body.
DON'T EAT CHOCOLATE; IT CAUSES PAIN IN ARTHRITIC PEOPLE, EVEN a m-m CANDY MAY SET IT OFF.
ALLERGIES: Certain allergies to foods "set off" arthritic pain reactions. If you are taking aspartame or any of the other names this chemical hide by...this page can’t help you...These fake sugars and parasites cause this condition and pain. Keep doing research in this area before going on to these remedies. The arthritis is cause from parasites go to my parasite pages or to anti fugal herbs and rotate. Stopping at the one that’s working best for you. Vary herbs their over 30,000 different parasites. Specific herbs deal with particular parasites and their toxicity. ASPARTAME is the worse for pain...

Herbs Substitutes Natural corticosteroids; Licorice Root (natural corticosteroid) when the adrenal is the root cause, and it can be. Yucca 1-3 capsules a day is a steroid saponins compound to cortisone. Even Wild Mexican Yams has steroid properties and many other such herbs rather than harmful drug. Why not try them first if they don’t work go to something else. Flaxseed oil, or another oil is a must.
* Astragulas root for the liver, and use fibrous food base diet for the colon. You have to treat the whole body not just a specific area as the medical profession who cannot cure any disease! A great herb for the elderly.


The best remedy, and cheapest is chlorophyll which will neutralizes uric acid. Chlorophyll's such as Chlorella, wheat grass, alfalfa or spirillia-kelp i.e. will also work. If allergic to fish stay away from the latter, sea weeds or fish oils (small fish is better). You'll notice immediately, and will be able to move without much pain (every meal, or food). Chlorophyll for a normal Ph in pill or anyform will be a healing plant for these conditions.

*This Formula is also For any pain: My Chanca Piedra herbal formula is; Chanca Piedra:
_ part Chanca Piedra to
_ounces Comfrey root; this herb will have to be bought or raise to use in this formula.
_ ounces Lobelia (This will get out the poisons and chemicals in tissues, and about
_ ounces of Cayenne. Every 3-4 hours in 00 capsules.)


This will take place of Ibuprofen or Motrin and other type of such medicines (NSAID). Order on Internet the Chanca Piedra by bulk. (You can leave out the Comfrey leaves or root (for liver too) and it will still work, but will not have building new cell properties.) I believe all herbal formulas need to be individualized.
Some foods specifically targeted arthritis such as Artichoke or cherry’s, celery i.e.
*Add the B Complex’s, and Calcium gluconate if needed. Strong natural calcium such as Alfalfa (hormonal) try it rather than inorganically calcium from rock or shells.
..............
*HOLISTIC VIEW: Treat the stomach first, Colon, Autonomic nervous system, then out to specific organs such as liver and kidneys. Keeping these organs clear and clean of toxins, as it will aid pain with minimal back up to more built up toxins to cause more pain.

*Omega’s for pain: Smaller fish, or Flaxseed oil about 1000 mg to 1300 a day up to 3-5 grams a day as needed. When you stop or are out of these you’ll note a difference in the pain threshold. You can try triple omega’s 3 especially. If you use fish oils or cod liver oil get it from good northern waters. The smaller fish has less mercury and from a good reputable company.
*Caprylic acid (coconut oil) for parasites, nuts and seeds oils are especially good .too

Watch your Ph balance or acid forming foods and don’t drink acids soda pops they will make this condition worse with some with their acid forming chemical sugars, which are causing this condition. (Aspartame can be the culprit to your pain. Take it out for 3 months and see).

Natural Juice Formula For Arthritis1. 1 quart of raw carrot juice ( parasites) This is approximate measurements:
2. 1 quart of raw celery juice (this breaks down the uric acids involved in arthritis.
Drink approximately, 1 quart of carrot juice to 1 quart of celery juice raw for two weeks.
Then 1 pint daily ½ carrot and ½ celery until arthritis is gone! Repeat whenever or if necessary. Arthritis Cleanse
...............(See semi-fasting) mild foods are the same as a plant base diet. (No GMO foods they lack in anti fungal to heal disease.)
Stiff joins are relieved with this program. (Two weeks)
*Broth water (Use cooked juice of broth water for variety) View post 2 lbs diced potatoes (not peeled)
About 3 clove of diced garlic
3 stalks diced celery or just drink a green drink with celery in it.
¼ cup of fresh parsley
In 2-3 quarts in boiling then reduced to a simmer slowly for 1-½ hours. Cool, separate liquid from the pulp and throw away. Drink the broth though out the day and for the next two weeks. Or, make this up on a fast day and drink the whole 24 hours. See broth post

Chronic Arthritis; see the post on part 2
When I have pain I've used baking soda in water and it takes the uric acid away with the pain. (APV will work too on uric acid) Stay away from all sodas, coffee, tannic acids and teas as they are too acidy for arthritic/gout conditions.
Don't try all this a once...Just keep the post and start with what you already have in the cupboard, then expand; one at a time.
*You must learn to kill the uric acid (unpasteurized  raw Swiss cheese ea meal may work for some) Celery Seed is now available. i.e.
