The top three health benefits of an herbal medicine cabinet

An herbal medicine cabinet may sound foreign to most families, but its history and science goes back thousands of years. Replacing traditional over-the-counter and prescription medications with natural nutrients and vitamins offers numerous health benefits.

1. Access to prescription medicines without medical authorization (and without side effects)

Prescription strength? You bet! Most people don't know that you can get this type of energy with a natural solution. But it is absolutely true. I speak from personal experience.

After we adopted our 2 year old chocolate lab, I fell foul. He pulled me onto the cement as he ran. My right side wasn't a pretty picture, and my arm took the brunt of the fall. After cleaning my wounds as best I could (and through tears), I bandaged them. But after two days, I noticed a pretty red line on my arm - the sure sign of an infection.

I whipped up our trusty “infection bomb” and within 4 hours the line began to fade. After 12 hours the time had comecompletely gone. No return of infection, no fever and no medication.

We've used the same natural approach to treat ear infections, ringworms, pinworms, and even seasonal allergies.

2. Can be used effectively with any family member (even the furry four-legged friends!)

By using herbal blends and nutrients, you can easily adjust the dosage for different family members. You don't need to buy separate medications for children, infants and adults. They all come from the same bottles.

Over the last seven years, I have chopped up countless vitamins to put them “disguised” in sippy cups, applesauce, and even peanut butter. Our children – now old enough to feel the difference – ask for my help when they feel under the weather. (These remedies even taste much better than typical medications!)

Some of these in smaller doses are also very effective on pets, although you will need to do a little more research into which ones they are beneficial and non-toxic. We regularly use natural nutrients to prevent fleas, ticks and heartworms. We also used special items to treat the very rare parasite in our dog.

3. Have solutions available to address a variety of problems

Because our body systems are so complex and interconnected, every nutrient, vitamin and mineral serves numerous functions in the body. (Here is the pageServicescome into the game.)

So having a cupboard full of different nutrients can not only help you deal with infections and stuffy noses, but also inflammation, heartburn, growing pains and high blood pressure, to name a few.

Families today have a huge health powerhouse at their disposal. We just need to help educate people about this alternative.
