Medicine Survival
Hi Guys
I would like to start a thread about medicine survival. The thought is not to share theoretical knowledge; such stuff is easy to find in different books, but to share house cures that we have found out to be helpful through our own experience.
If you managed to operate an appendix in the bush, by all means share it with us, otherwise share rather the simple stuff that actually can make a big difference being out there in the woods.
My experience: Running nose and pain in the throat.
How I fix it:
I mix about one teaspoon table salt into one cup (200-250 ml) of luke warm water. Wait until the salt is well dissolved. I snort the salt water through my nose slowly and carefully and spit it out my mouth. Keep doing it until the cup is empty.
Important: Dont take too much salt. The water should taste a bit salty but feel comfortable in the nose. Burning sensation means that your water is too salty. Too hot or cold water isnt good either.
Review:
This cure has worked well for me since 20 years now and I hardly ever have a flue and I never have sinus infection any more. It even works as prevention when folks around you are sick. A lot of germs are hanging in the nose and the saltwater washes them out. If you have already the flue do it 3 times a day. It feels strange in the beginning but I am so used to it now that I dont mind it at all.
My experience: Very strong and heavy throat infection, an infection where you actually would need some antibiotics.
How I fixed it: I took a leak into a cup and gargled the urine in my throat
Review: It needs some concentration to close down your other senses and only do the job without throwing up. After the first time it took only 5 min and the pain in the throat was gone. I needed to gargle three times a day for 2 days to get rid of the infection altogether. All in all it is a great help if you are stuck without antibiotics.
cheers
