Everything we need for our health is provided for us by nature, often these natural health remedies and treatments can be found in the wild and foraged for free, if you have the knowledge and know where to look and what to look for, there really is everything we need for most ailments without the need for harsh chemicals and pharmaceuticals.
Humans have been using plants for healing as far back in history as has been recorded, using many herbs, spices, oils and extracts, inhaling, burning, applying and consuming them to treat all manor of ailments.
In this blog I will be writing many articles on how to forage for plants and flowers, what they contain and how to utilise them to create many natural health remedies and treatments at home for very little cost and how to safely treat yourself as nature intended. I will also be writing about essential oils, how to make your own healing balms and creams, how to create your own recipes using essential oils and herbs, and how to make tinctures and other herbal remedies.
Obviously there are circumstances where professional advice and treatments are favourable and I am not suggesting that you ignore advice from your doctor or consultant, although there are many herbal treatments that can be safely used along side conventional treatments, it is always recommended that you check with a medical professional that these will not interfere with any treatments that you may be receiving for severe illnesses. I will try my best to include any contradictions that may occur when using herbal remedies but please always do your own research if you are receiving any conventional treatments or have any severe illnesses that you are receiving treatment for.
Currently in the UK, where I am based, it is summer and there are so many things in abundance right now that can be collected, dried and processed to use all year round, such as daisies, red clover flowers, elderflower, nettles, lavender, chamomile and so much more. In my next article I will give step by step instructions of how to use daisies to create a beautiful healing balm to treat bruises and also minor cuts and burns.
