Most common illnesses<br />

Cough<br />

Can be cured by strong decoctions<br />

from mint, mallow, linden tree, wild<br />

strawberry, plantain, mullein, coltsfoot<br />

and fennel. It’s based on an interaction<br />

between two paired organs<br />

– the kidneys and lungs. It is therefore<br />

necessary to give attention to<br />

both.<br />

Burns<br />

Burns can generally be treated by<br />

honey. In acute cases you can also<br />

use butter which even regenerates<br />

the skin. You can also try common.<br />

Cut them into slices and repeatedly<br />

apply on the wounded areas (even six<br />

times a day). Potato starch heals potential<br />

blisters. Fire-burn wounds<br />

can then be healed by ointments<br />

from marigold, chamomile, aloe vera<br />

or hemp. During the healing process,<br />

it is important to supply the body<br />

with enough vitamin C and E and<br />

also zinc.<br />

Frostbite<br />

Lukewarm water and subsequently<br />

hot water, camphor ointment, cognac<br />

or hot wine can be a great first<br />

aid tool. For treatment you can then<br />

apply wet packs with vinegar. The<br />

vinegar should be diluted in 1:3 ratio<br />

with water and applied on the frostbite<br />

every two hours. For frozen lips,<br />

use honey or sea-buckthorn flax, or<br />

hemp oil. A heightened consumption<br />

of apples, oats and flax seeds<br />

will also help.<br />

Bruises, scratches, wounds<br />

A quick surface cleansing agent is<br />

called an antiseptic. Strong alcohol<br />

or salt-pickled garlic are ideal tools to<br />

treat wounds. When applied, they<br />

burn any unwanted bacteria that<br />

would otherwise thrive happily on<br />

the open wound or in the host’s<br />

blood stream. You can then use wet<br />

packs with comfrey, chamomile,<br />

bedstraw, goldenrod, cloves, St.<br />

John’s wort or hemp to heal the<br />

wound. Mix the herbal tinctures<br />

with honey and apply on the wound<br />

regularly. Honey has antiseptic effect<br />

and quickens the healing.<br />
