What If There Were No Medicine?

 Welcome friends to today's post. I want to talk about something and give you some things to think about.

Our part of the country just went through a devastating natural disaster and a lot of people are still recovering. But I actually had some afterthoughts. So many businesses were lost that people really depend on for survival and sustainability. Doctors, hospitals, nursing homes, pharmacies, just to name a few besides grocery stores. 

It made me think, What if someone got sick and needed medicine? I am all about getting medical advice when I so need it, but also, I also lean towards what the good Lord provided for us as well. I believe what the Bible says in Genisis 1:12

12 And the earth brought forth grass, and herb yielding seed after his kind, and the tree yielding fruit, whose seed was in itself, after his kind: and God saw that it was good.

You see, GOD SAW THAT IT WAS GOOD!!!!!!!

I have to trust in and believe that. If you were to get sick or someone in your family got sick during such a crisis as this and nothing was available, what would you do? This is where you need to start thinking outside the box. 

I started a long time ago dabbling into natural remedies for some of my own health issues. I also went about discussing these natural remedies and supplements with my doctor and he was on board with me taking them as long as they didn't interfere with any of my medications I do have to take for my Rheumatoid Arthritis. My doctor understands me and my concerns about a lot of pharmaceuticals too. He works with me. I do depend on medication for my arthritis because it really helps me keep it under somewhat of control and it slows the progress down. Is it healing it? No. It's not meant to. If something were to happen that I could not get my medication and take it, it would not be nice. That's why I started doing my own research and having a plan. Everyone needs to really give this a thought. By no means am I a medical doctor and would never tell you to drop your medications or never go see a doctor, but we really need to start thinking for ourselves where our health is concerned. 

There are a few things I like to keep handy or make on a whim if need be, especially during the cold and flu season. Just some homemade remedies. I am also looking into and researching more for overall health benefits on a daily basis. I am eventually wanting to grow some of these for our farm and stock an apothecary or medicine cabinet. Elderberry, Goldenrod, Echinachea, and Mullein. 

These plants are all powerhouses for overall well-being and in times of sickness. 

I have a few videos that I have put out of me working with and making remedies using elderberries and goldenrod. 

I do not have written tutorials on these yet. 

I will try to get some tutorials up eventually. It will take some time. 

I do have a few other natural remedies that I make up for the cold and flu season

The Golden Rod video is very lengthy but very informative. I did not realize how many ailments this powerhouse helped and all the benefits it holds for the health and wellness of our bodies. Be sure to grab a snack and something to drink, pen and paper as well. 

I really hope you will take these thoughts into consideration and dwell on them. Do what is best for you and your family so you can be prepared and stocked in case of emergencies or if you just want to embark on this natural journey as well. 

I hope you find these videos very informative and helpful.
