Guest guest Posted July 4, 2001 Report Share Posted July 4, 2001 Dear , I cannot speak for homeopathy treatments, as I have only used them for a short time. But my first aid kit consists of essential oils of lemon, lavender, helichrysum, basil/marjoram, peppermint, oregano, and clove. There are more, but these are some of the " essentials. " They can be used for pain and inflammation, bleeding, lacerations, to disinfect wounds and promote healing. To repel insects and treat stings and bites. In our home we use these precious oils for everyday use as well as emergencies and yes, we carry a first aid kit. I no longer use bactine or peroxide for that matter. I learned in my nursing practice that H202 is okay for immediate use after an injury, but once the wound begins creating new tissue, the H202 will actually do harm to the pink tissue. I also carry the usual, gauze pads, ace bandages and tape. Many blessings, Doc and Dena 15:13 Radical and Rejected by the Establishment www.spiritualaroma.com first aid kit > I've been reading all I can about vaccinations, homeopathy, and other medical issues, and it's got me wondering: What should go in our first aid kit? What medical items and remedies should we have at home? Right now all I have is a bottle of hydrogen peroxide, some gauze pads and other miscellaneous leftover homebirth supplies. Oh, and an assortment of band-aids that my kids wear as fashion accessories more than first aid. > > I've never used any kind of Bactine-type stuff. We just rinse minor cuts and scrapes with water and put on a band-aid, at the child's request. (The kids pull off the band-aids within 30 minutes or so as they can't resist picking at them.) Should I use something like Bactine? My parents never put it on us so it just isn't something I'm accustomed to. > > I've been considering buying one of those $79.99 homeopathic remedy kits with 51 remedies. Are they worth it?

Guest guest Posted July 9, 2001 Report Share Posted July 9, 2001 Dear Laurie, Excellent question for this time of year! Mosquito repellent: Lemon, peppermint, eucalyptus, lemongrass. Horse fly repellent: Idaho tansy floral water. Aphids repellent: Mix 20 drops quality essential oil (any) in 2 quarts salt water, shake well, and spray on plants. Cock roach repellent: Mix 10 drops peppermint and 5 drops cypress in 1/2 cup salt water. Shake well and spray where roaches live. (To repel insects, essential oils can be diffused or put on cotton balls or cedar chips for use in closets or drawers). There is a oil blend I use called purification: This is an antiseptic blend formulated for diffusing to help purify the home and work environment. It cleanses the air and neutralizes mildew, cigarette smoke, and disagreeable odors. When applied directly to the skin, Purification may be used to cleanse cuts and scrapes and may help neutralize the poison of bites from spiders, bees, hornets, wasps, scorpions and rattlesnakes. I got to use this just last night, my son came home from a camping trip with about 75 mosquito bites on his back. I cleaned him up and put peppermint and purification on his injuries, very effective relief. If I had sent him with some of this stuff, he wouldn't of come home in such miserable condition! I am an advocate of preventive medicine, but failed to practice what I preach! :-) I hope this helps you answers some of your questions, many blessings, ps, forgot to tell you that Purification is a blend of citronella, lemongrass, lavandin, rosemary, melaleuca and myrtle, Doc and Dena 15:13 Radical and Rejected by the Establishment www.spiritualaroma.com Re: first aid kit > What do you use to repel insects? > Laurie<Oh > boldml@... > " The decision to have a child is to accept that your heart will forever walk about outside of your body.

Guest guest Posted July 9, 2001 Report Share Posted July 9, 2001 I have 2 lemon scented geriums or citronella plants that I got from the local nursery on my porch and they seem to work very well for no see 'ums!! My daughter is highly allergic to anything that bites, flies and mesquitos are mostly what we have trouble with here in Ohio. But I use leaves from my Autumn Joy Sedum or Liveforevers as some call them. I just pull a leaf off and then take the thin skin off of the back of the leaf and rub it on, right after I notice the bite. It clears the little welt up in 2 or 3 days instead of the 8 that it takes to clear up if I don't use anything. Works better then what her dr. gave me to use!!! michelle ohio -- In Vaccinations@y..., " Laurie L " <boldml@c...> wrote: > What do you use to repel insects? > Laurie<Oh > boldml@c... > " The decision to have a child is to accept that your heart will forever walk about outside of your body.

Can I also add that Javan or Sri Lankan Citronella have been shown to be especially effective insect repellents, particularly against mosquitoes. Javan gets the nod, if you can get it. These citronellas can be a bit hard to come by but another much more commonly used oil for insect repelling is Pelargonium Graveolens, the humble geranium. Bugs hate it. Good old Lavender does an effective job too. Peppermint brilliant for ants - they survive our ant sprays and powders but can't tolerate the peppermint oil. As an aromatherapist, I personally don't like to use pure peppermint oil too near very young babies. It has been documented as causing reflex apnoea. >Purification is a blend of > citronella, lemongrass, lavandin, rosemary, melaleuca and myrtle, Which melaleuca, is this Dena?

Guest guest Posted August 13, 2006 Report Share Posted August 13, 2006 Plantain works very well for bee stings. I would think it would work for other bites also. You chew up a leaf and hold on the sting. I've seen it work many times. Also, Young Living has an essential oil blend called purification that helps with any stings or tick bites.
