We give birth to our children at home "Drug Free" and take care of all our Health needs at home. Sure we get sick but we take care of our illnesses ourselves at home.

Over the years of asking Michael what to do I have come upon a Drug Free Medicine Chest full of a few wonderful herbs and other remedies that I rely on all the time.

What I do works and I would like to share these wonderful remedies and my experiences with you. I know that you can and will experience the same sense of satisfaction that I have, when you are able to help yourself, loved ones, and friends feel better.

These are a list of the things that come to mind that I have taken care of with the Items in this kit.

Lets talk about runny nose and eyes ,sneezing, drainage in the throat , sinus head ache, all over body ache, lets ..... no lets not give that a name because it makes some of us feel like its something that only occurs in the spring , no. . . summer, no. . . fall, no. . . winter. There are other things that can be classified under those symptoms, so lets just group all general illnesses together that have to do with the ears, nose, throat, and sometimes effect the eyes. I have found over the years that its OK to group these together and use all of the same herbs for any thing that affects the ears, nose, and throat, and sometimes the eyes.

Hay Asz, Throb Eaz, Fection, Comfrey Gold Salve, Marshmallow Salve, Gland Salve

#1 Hay Asz I'm not so sure that I can say enough about Hay Asz . Always use Hay Asz when the ears, nose, throat and sometimes eyes are involved. Always. I always self adjust the dosage for each case . Such as , We were on a family hike and something was blooming or pollinating that I was allergic to . My eyes itched, my nose was running, I couldn't stop coughing because of the drainage in my throat, I had a headache. I was miserable but I had Hay Asz and Throb Eaz with me. I took 2 Hay Asz and 1 Throb Eaz every 10 minutes while on that hike, and kept those miserable symptoms in check. Under less extreme conditions I would have been able to take 3 or 4 every hour or so. What I'd like to share with you is that Hay asz works fantastic all the time. If it doesn't, I haven't found the right dosage. Hay asz and Throb Eaz compliment each other. Together I manage the sinus headache, and aches, and pains, (Throb Eaz) and the other symptoms with Hay Asz. Swabbing my sinuses with one of the salves assists me greatly with a sinus headache. I use Fection if I have ignored things long enough to let it make its way to a sinus infection, then I use it in the same way as explained under teeth. Books could be written on this subject.

Ear,nose, and throat. It hurts, it runs, It hurts when I swallow. These are common things that we hear our family and friends say. Any time any one of these complaints are expressed, we treat all three because they are all connected, then we don't have to waste time chasing them around in circles.

Ear. I Put a couple of drops of ear oil in each ear even if only one hurts. I warm the oil up on a spoon using a match and put in one ear at a time and lay the head to one side for a few minutes, then put cotton in the ear and repeat on the other side. An earache is never any fun, but when you use warm oil in a sore ear it is very soothing. The Oil lubricates sore membranes in the ear. Some things like swimmers ear take a little more care but can be solved .

Nose. Using a Q tip, swab the nose thoroughly with Comfrey Gold Salve. Just because the nose is running does not mean that you do not have dry sinus, In fact runny nose is a symptom of dry sinus. The body produces an over abundance of mucus trying to moisturize itself. I think you will be impressed with the results when you start lubricating those sinuses. I've explored my nasal cavity thoroughly with salve and a Q tip, there's more to the nasal cavity then just the opening, and if its starving for lubrication its starving everywhere. It's neat to be able to help newborns to breath better when they have a head cold and stuffy nose. Just swabbing a newborns nose will relieve a lot of discomfort and allow the child to sleep.

Teeth. Clove oil, Throb Eaz , Fection. For the most minor tooth pain to the extreme, These three items are very effective. In the case of an abscess with infection and swelling , I take 10 throb eaz at a time as often as I need . I start off with 10 and fifteen minutes later I take 10 more and again in 15 minutes I take 10 and then I wait about an hour and see how I feel, If I can last an hour then I have found my cycle for using Throb Eaz for this particular tooth or pain problem, and I continue taking 10 every hour until I have solved the problem or realize that I can last longer than an hour, then I readjust. I use Throb Eaz for any kind of pain, headache , afterbirth pain, pain caused by injury of any kind. The magical number seems to be 10 at a time for most pain, used and adjusted as explained above.

You cant Over dose on Throb Eaz. You need to experiment and find out what works for you. If it doesn't work for you its only because you haven't put enough effort into it to find out how great it is. Because I know that it works in every instance. It does not fail . Using herbs instead of drugs means depending on yourself, not calling upon doctors to come up with some magical go away pill.

Clove oil is a life saver when it comes to toothaches . I take the cotton off a Q tip (100% cotton) and put a couple of drops of clove oil on it , by holding the cotton with some tweezers and dipping it in the clove oil , I squeeze the excess oil out and the still holding on with the tweezers I put the cotton on the tooth that is giving me the problem or with abscess I put it next to the gum where the problem is, and leave it there for days if necessary . If you're not familiar with clove oil then be aware that it numbs what ever it touches , so if you get it on your lip it will numb it , same with your throat if you swallow too much . It also creates allot of saliva , I just spit it out carefully so as not to get it on my lips or swallowing it . These effects go away after awhile. Again I'd like to say I know this really works, just be willing to put some effort into letting it work for you.

Eyes Pink Eye, conjunctivitis, Sty, Weeping eyes Marshmallow Rt. Salve works miracles with the eyes. For any of the above conditions dip your finger in the salve and rub around the eye real close but not in the eye . Be careful not to put the same finger back into the salve because you could infect the salve so use a clean finger . Wash the hands after working with pink eye and conjunctivitis they are contagious. Maybe your wondering if anything can really help a sty. Well I thought the same thing but they really hurt and I was desperate so I made up the salve that Michael gave me the recipe for and applied it around my eye like he said and waited. Well I applied that salve three times a day for 3 days and "presto chango" my sty was gone along with the pain. That was fun and I was sold on marshmallow Rt. Salve. Since then I've had lots of reasons to put it to the test. Some of our little babies have gotten conjunctivitis which manifests it's self by sticky green stuff in the eyes that sometimes seals them shut. Well just apply like I described above several times a day as needed and it will go away.

Athletes Foot. Gland Salve Apply gland salve to clean affected area before going to bed, and wear a sock to keep the salve on. Repeat the same in the morning before you put your shoes on. It works great.

Constipation. Klean Lax. Klean Lax is a natural laxative and is not addicting, I use it daily if necessary while working on overcoming contributing factors to the problem so theirs not such a chance of hemorrhoid flare up. I'd like to give my personal description of constipation, If a person goes to the bathroom to evacuate the colon is unable to sit down go and get up then I say a person is constipated no more questions ask. Up the intake of water cut out carbonated and caffeine containing drinks and add some fiber like vegetables and grains. I don't classify meat and most breads under the category of fiber, in fact I would call them glue, because that's what they do in my system. When Michael is fixing a water leak in a pipe he stuffs one end of the pipe with white bread , it stops things up real good. While I'm pregnant that's a real possibility. For me it's very important not to ever be constipated during pregnancy. I never travel with out everything that is in this kit, because it covers anything that happens. I use klean lax with my children also if and when the occasion arises. When I have a newborn that is constipated I give a garlic enema. More detail will be given on this subject on request or in the newborn and infant kit we are putting together.

Lower Back Pain , Bladder or kidney problems, Menstrual disorders, Water Retention, Swelling Bladney, Cranberry Concentrate, Fection Lower back pain , burning with urination , water retention, and swelling can all be signs of bladder or kidney problems. I take up to six bladney a day to help nourish the Kidneys and bladder so it can function properly, up to 3 cranberry concentrate a day to help change the PH of the urine and Up to 6 fection a day depending on how much I hurt and drink lots of water and cut out any other beverages especially carbonated drinks or any drinks containing caffeine. Bladney is something I am very grateful for when it comes to pregnancy and the water retention and swelling that can take place. I take bladney throughout the entire pregnancy as a preventative measure against kidney and bladder trouble, and water retention and swelling. If my rings fit tight I use cranberry concentrate or cranberry juice which ever one I have. Another thing I do for swelling or water retention is elevate my feet. I personally do this by elevating the end of my bed 4 to 6 inches and sleeping with my head down and feet up. This reverses the flow of gravity. All day long gravity beats down on you, then you lie down flat on your bed and the flow of gravity still isn't working on your side your heart has to still work hard to pump the blood down to your feet and back up . With your feet elevated your heart only has to pump the blood one way , the opposite way it was pumping all day. Try it , it really works your nights sleep will be more effective and restful. Living out of town or traveling cranberry concentrate is great to have around.

Bad Breath, Indigestion, Heartburn, Sour Stomach. Zime. I use Zime for any kind of stomach or digestive problem and that would include bad breath. Some people have digestive problems that are related to bad breath. Sores of any kind around or in the mouth are stomach related. Generally speaking if you take care of the digestive problem, the sores in or around the mouth will go away . I use salve on the sores on the outside of the mouth. Other things that I use are acidopholis , in liquid or capsules and After Dinner Mint by NOW. Use as recommended.

Diaper Rash and Other Rashes. Comfrey Gold Salve, Marshmallow Salve, Gland Salve All three of these salves are great for rashes, cuts, dry skin etc.... When using these salves its not wise to put them in the eyes just around them, They wont cause any damage they just hurt Gland Salve is a special salve it has the ability to dissolve lumps, bumps and growths. In the case of a growth, I apply a generous dab of Gland Salve on a band-aide and stick the band-aide over the growth and leave it their for a week at a time if the band-aide will stay , otherwise I reapply as often as necessary until the growth is gone. I covered lumps in previously under ears nose and throat. We also have gland oil. Gland oil was originally made special for me because I had a disease called "Erythema Nodosum . I consider it my miracle oil, I could write a book on gland oil alone.

As I was growing up if their was anything unusual , rare or different I got it . I was constantly on antibiotics or some other kind of drug . I thought , " I'm going to have to marry a doctor or chiropractor or I'm going to be in trouble". Well, I did better than that I married an Herbalist and massage therapist I really enjoy seeing real results instead of just being tested all the time. I like just solving the problem and getting on with life. It is a goal in our family to be self sufficient and independent not just in some areas but in every way possible. In working towards that goal being drug free means allot. When Illness arises in our home we want to know several things, what has the diet been like, has the person affected been tired and run down, have they been dressed properly for the climate . These things help us to know where to begin. Some times dressing warmer, eating better and getting to bed at a reasonable hour can correct a good portion of the problem and then supplement with herbs, vitamins , and maybe massage therapy for aches and pains or maybe somethings out of place. We first look at life style then , body allignment , and then supplementation. With these thoughts in mind and the herbs in this kit I take care of most everything that arises. Things that need additional attention are Breast feeding, Newborn care, Arthritis, Anemia (Low Iron in the blood) PMS (We work miracles with this) , Infertility, Prostate Problems, Colitis, Ulcers, Menopause , Asthma, Female disorders of all kinds,(We have 8 daughters) ADD, Manic Depression, and etc. I look forward to compiling information and kits on many of these subjects.
