What Would You Put In A Peatarian Medicine Cabinet?

[jyb]

Cascara or activated charcoal. And AC is a pretty conventional emergency item (used against life threatening poisons in emergency rooms).

Coconut oil. Provides ketones that the brain can use as emergency when it can't use/convert neither glucose nor fat.

I think that's pretty much it for emergencies. I'd put cyproheptadine but only for some specific scenarios (exposure to radiation).

Aspirin.

Tara very cool list, it would be cool if you had an explanation what each item can be used for and in what scenario, if you have time ofcourse.

Yeah, a list of instructions would be good to ave in the cabinet, too. I can't always remember what to use for what. For instance, I'm pretty sure

post 74223 baking soda
vinegar

are useful against bee and wasp and jellyfish stings, but right now I can't remember which is which, so I'd best look it up again.

post 74223 salt

Mouthwash for mouth injuries. Irrigating nose clogged from colds.

post 74223 honey or sucrose

For dressing wounds that could be in danger of infection. Emergency rescue for severe hypoglycemia. Honey can be put on tongue even if omeone is fainting from hunger.

post 74223 coconut oil

post 74223 aspirin
niacinamide
caffeine

Against sunburn (topical).
Aspirin and caffeine or coffee: pain relief

post 74223 specific antihistamine, eg cyproheptadine or diphenhydramine

For allergic reactions, eg hayfever, excessive swelling from bee stings.
Against sunburn

post 74223 CO2 cannister with controllable outflow hose + plastic bags + tape (maybe not in the cabinet, but as first aid for injuries)

For treatment of strains, sprains, minor burns (not where there is much blood loss - brings additional circulation and oxygen to enclosed area.)

post 74223 progest-e + olive oil for topical application

IIRC, welling roond joints, possibly varicose veins.

post 74223 activated charcoal

Poisoning by food, toxins, maybe some kinds of drug overdose. Diarrhea caused by overgrowth of pathogenic microbes.

post 74223 paper bags

Panic attacks involving hyperventilation. (Not after blows to the head.)

I'm sure there are more uses - these are the ones I can remember now.
