Stock Your Medications in Your Survival Kit
Your survival
kit should contain enough of the medications that you are currently taking
to last for weeks. Your survival kit should include additional medicines. Aspirin
works for most fevers, and minor aches and pains, ibuprofen is for inflammation
like swollen joints. Additional over the counter medications you should have
on hand are Kaopectate for diarrhea, and Pepto Bismol for stomach maladies.
Consider also an unbreakable thermometer for your kit. Be sure to have extra
vitamins because stress and a limited diet can wear you down quickly. Look for
energy boosting and fatigue fighting natural supplements like B12, or ginseng.
Temporary energy boosters like drinks and bars can be part of your kit but remember
they are full of sugar and caffeine so use them cautiously. Ipecac syrup is
a good thing to have on had if you have to induce vomiting in someone who has
eaten tainted foods. As far as regular medications are concerned, ask your doctor
for an extra month’s worth of your prescription.
Natural Antibiotics
It is highly unlikely that you will be able to get antibiotics in advance of
any disaster striking. Don’t skimp on current prescriptions by hoarding a few
pills. It is dangerous. Any prescription is to be used fully to combat the infection
it was designed to kill.
Instead, check out natural antibiotics. A good read with lots of information
about the natural healing powers of herbal remedies is "Herbal
Remedies Secrets". It not only explains the herbs to used to treat
specific conditions, but also goes into growing and preparing them yourself.
Disasters are stressful and confusing times, but don’t forget to maintain your
health. Your survival counts on it. Have a survival kit that includes the medications
you take and the natural antibiotic cures you might need. Start now to educate
yourself in first aid and natural cures. Don’t rely on someone else to do it
for you.
