My Natural First Aid Kit on hiking and camping
Late Spring, Summer and Autumn is an excellent time for hiking in the mountains or to camp. Winter is great to explore North. It is import to travel light but be prepared for all weather conditions and flies in hot weather. Consider all weather scenarios and know your limitations. My Natural and well proven Natural First Aid Kit includes:
Amber tincture– antibiotic, adrenal “picks me up”, instant relief for headaches, excellent for insect bites as it relieves the itch an is antiseptic. Amber tincture offers almost an instant relief sinus pain, helps with cold and flu and many more applications. I find Amber tincture invaluable in my Natural First Aid Kit as it has so many applications.
Colloidal silver to purify creek/river water. I never had any problems with it.
ENAR device– 101 ways to treat all your health needs and your friends who are fortunate to be with you at the time
Herbal hand sanitiser– (The Herbal Extract Company is my preferred one) to sterilise wound, hands
Aloe Vera gel– to soothe flies bites and after Sun exposure treatment
My Natural First Aid kit
Magnesium cream– for fast trans-dermal magnesium absorption to reduce muscle aches and faster recovery. Cramps are common while walking as there is increased body’s demand on magnesium by the heart, the muscles and the mitochondria. In such situations I find trans-dermal absorption much faster (within a minute) than internal one.
Sun cream- toxins free
Tea tree antiseptic cream-for sterilising wounds and insect bites
Traumeel cream and tablets- for sore and inflamed joints, muscle injury, sprains , stains or pain and soft tissue trauma
Other-band aid, bandage, sterile gauze
Endura (electrolyte), this formula will keep you going “like a rocket” on any hiking trip. I recommend drinking it prior to your adventure and during to avoid cramps, to keep your energy levels steady, and to support your heart function.
