When it comes to emergency preparedness, one of the most overlooked topics is the use of natural herbs and plants for medical use. In the modern world, most people have no clue which plants are poisonous and which plants can be used as medicine, but it wasn’t always that way.
Using herbs and plants for medical use is nothing new. Native Americans used them for thousands of years under the philosophy that man is a part of nature.
Furthermore, archaeological studies have shown that man has been using herbs and plants for medical purposes since at least 3000 BC, beginning with the ancient Egyptians and Chinese.
Back then they used herbs and plants to treat everything from oral problems to stomach aches to headaches to skin rashes and more.
It wasn’t until the 1700s to 1800s that scientists and medical professionals in the Western world began to really analyze these plants. Today, science has evolved to the point where it is incredibly rare for a prescription drug to have natural components in it, even though most of today’s prescriptions originated from naturally-occurring elements.
Of course, you probably won’t have any prescription meds in a survival scenario. In this case, your next best option will be the natural herbs and plants that the Native Americans used hundreds of years ago. Here are 12 worth learning about:
