ARE HOME REMEDIES NECESSARY?( WITH FEW PICTURE LABELING)
IN THOSE DAYS OUR GRAND PARENTS AND GREAT GRAND PARENTS, HAD EMERGENCIES AND ACCIDENTS AND I BELIEVE THERE WERE NO HOSPITALS SO CLOSE TO THEM AT THAT TIME OR EVEN NONE AT ALL.
SO IF AN EMERGENCY OR AN ACCIDENT HAPPENS THEY DON'T JUST SIT THERE WATCHING, PANICKING OR CRYING, THEY RUN TO THEIR BACKYARD, KITCHEN OR EVEN DEPENDING ON THE EXTENT OF THE ACCIDENT OR EMERGENCY, THEY MAY RUN INSIDE THE BUSH OR FARM TO FETCH A PLANT/HERB TO ATTEND TO THAT INCIDENT.
EVEN TILL THIS MODERN AGE SOME WOMEN STILL HAVE SMALL OR LARGE GARDENS AT THEIR BACK YARDS, WHERE THEY HAVE SO MANY NATURAL HERBS/PLANTS, AND IF SOMETHING COMES UP THAT NEEDS QUICK RESPONSE OR AN EMERGENCY AND MAYBE NO HOSPITAL, PHARMACY OR DRUGS AROUND, THEY QUICKLY RUN INSIDE THE KITCHEN OR BACKYARD TO FETCH SOME HERBS/PLANTS.
UP TILL NOW MY MUM STILL DOES IT SOMETIMES AND I (LOL) HAVE CUT THAT FEVER TOO. HOW WOULDN'T I? WHEN I AM NATURALLY IN LOVE WITH NATURE...
AS MUCH AS WE TRY TO PUT CAUTION AND APPLY SAFETY ETHICS AROUND US WHICH IS VERY IMPORTANT, WE SHOULD ALWAYS BE PREPARED FOR THE UNEXPECTED.
THERE WAS A DAY AN EMERGENCY HAPPENED IN MY HOUSE VERY LATE AT NIGHT, SOMEONE STEPPED DIRECTLY WITH THE SOLE OF THE FEET ON A RAZOR BLADE THAT WAS CARELESSLY DROPPED ON THE FLOOR (A VERY WRONG UNSAFE ACT). IT CUT SO DEEP INTO THE VEINS OF THIS PERSON. FOR THOSE OF US THAT KNOW WHAT IT MEANS FOR A CUT TO GO DEEP INTO THE SKIN AND THEN TO THE VEINS…THE BLEEDING AND THE PAIN WAS JUST SO MUCH.
THE SOLE OF THE PERSONS FEET WAS POURING OUT A LOT OF BLOOD LIKE PROFUSELY THAT REFUSED TO STOP. BY THE TIME I WAS CALLED, EVERYWHERE WAS FILLED WITH BLOOD AND NO AMOUNT OF WATER, CLEANING WITH LIQUID DETTOL OR EVEN ALOE VERA COULD STOP IT...WELL MAYBE IF WE HAD A FIRST AID BOX IT WOULDN’T HAVE GOT TO THAT POINT.
BUT IN SUCH A SITUATION, LATE AT NIGHT WHAT DO YOU DO? AND THAT TIME I HADN'T STARTED DRIVING WELL, TALK MORE OF AT NIGHT. SOMEONE MAY ASK WHY DIDN’T ALOE VERA STOP IT? NOW ALOE VERA NO DOUBT STOPS BLEEDING I HAVE BEEN A WITNESS TO THAT SEVERAL TIMES, BUT MAYBE THE LEVEL AT WHICH THE BLOOD WAS PUMPING OUT FROM THE VEINS WAS JUST TOO MUCH.
AT THAT POINT IT HIT ME, WHAT ELSE WAS AROUND ME? THERE WERE NO BITTER LEAVES OR SCENT LEAVES AROUND, I LEARNT THE USE OF BITTER LEAVES AND SCENT LEAVES WITH BLEEDING FROM MY MUM. THEN I REMEMBERED SALT, I WENT TO THE KITCHEN CUPBOARD TO GATHER ALL THE SALT AVAILABLE, I APPLIED IT AND THE BLEEDING REDUCED A BIT BUT THE PUMPING DIDN'T GIVE IN TO THE SALT AND BLOOD WAS STILL GUSHING OUT LIKE A TAP OF RUNNING WATER.
THEN I REMEMBERED WE HAD SOMETHING CALLED SEA SALT, IF SALT COULD BRING IT DOWN TO A LEVEL, THEN HOW MUCH MORE SEA SALT. AT THAT POINT I WAS JUST GUESSING, BUT THE MAGIC SEA SALT DID TO STOP THE BLEEDING WAS AMAZING, IT WAS AN INSTANT EFFECT.
NOW IF I HAD NOT BEEN THINKING OUTSIDE THE BOX WITH THE ABSENCE OF A FIRST AID KIT, MAYBE WE WOULD HAVE USED UP ALL THE COTTON WOOL, LIQUID DETTOL AND TISSUE PAPERS FOR THAT FEET AND THE MATTER MAY HAVE GOTTEN WORST.
THERE ARE NATURAL ANTIBIOTICS AND ANALGESICS (PAIN RELIEVERS), ANTISEPTICS, ANTIOXIDANT ETC. LETS BE MORE CONVERSANT WITH NATURE AND OUR SURROUNDINGS AND NOT ALWAYS WAIT FOR THE HELP OF MEDICAL DRUGS ESPECIALLY IN TIMES OF EMERGENCIES…
ALSO, LET’S TRY NOT TO PANIC ALWAYS IN TIMES OF EMERGENCIES. IF YOU TAKE A DEEP BREATH YOU WOULD SEE THAT THE TEMPORAL OR PERMANENT SOLUTION OR CURE IS RIGHT IN YOUR KITCHEN OR AT YOUR BACK YARD.
HAVING HOME REMEDIES BRINGS ME ALSO TO THE MATTER ON COLD, COUGH AND FEVERISH CONDITIONS… FOR EXAMPLE, COMBINING HONEY WITH BITTER KOLA AND LEMON OR LIME OR EVEN HONEY AND LIME OR LEMON ITSELF GOES A LONG WAY FOR CATARRH, COUGH, COLD, AND FEVERISH CONDITIONS.
THIS HAS WORKED FOR ME IN THE PAST AND OCCASIONALLY CALMED ME DOWN ESPECIALLY AT NIGHT TILL THE NEXT MORNING, THOUGH I ADD PRAYERS AND GOD IS THE ULTIMATE HEALER, BUT IF I COULDN’T GET MY HANDS ON ANYTHING AND SLEPT,IT WOULD HAVE ONLY BEEN BY THE DIVINE INTERVENTION OF GOD THAT I WOULDN'T HAVE FELT WORST THE NEXT MORNING…
ESPECIALLY AT THAT TIME WHEN IT’S AN EMERGENCY AND NO ONE TO ASSIST YOU. THERE ARE SO MANY THINGS AT OUR BACKYARDS OR OUR KITCHENS THAT CAN BE OF GREAT HELP.
ALSO, I COMBINED BITTER KOLA AND HONEY FOR A SUPERIOR COLLEAGUE AT WORK WHO HAD A SEVERE WHOOPING COUGH THAT HAD LASTED A WHILE EVEN WITH THE HELP OF DRUGS. I ASKED HIM TO GIVE IT A TRY BY TAKING IT IN THE MORNING AND NIGHT AND IT WORKED ON HIM, HE WAS WOWED.
THERE ARE A COUPLE OF THINGS WE SHOULDN’T FAIL TO HAVE AROUND US OR PLANTED AT OUR BACKYARDS. NO MATTER HOW SMALL IN QUANTITY, ESPECIALLY FOR US AS FEMALES, WE COULD SOLVE SO MANY PROBLEMS AND EMERGENCIES AROUND US AND IN OUR HOMES BY THE GRACE OF GOD WITH THESE REMEDIES.
I AM JUST GOING TO LIST A FEW OF THEM FOR NOW AND IN CONSEQUENT TIMES DO A SUMMARY ARTICLE ON MOST OF THEM ONE BY ONE, TO GET AN IN DEPTH KNOWLEDGE ON WHAT THEY CAN REMEDY AT HOME.
SOME HOME REMEDIES: - BITTER LEAVES (ESPECIALLY PLANTED AROUND YOU.) - ALOE VERA PLANT - HOSPITAL TOO FAR OR CATHOLIC VEGETABLE OR IYANA-IPAJA (YORUBA) OR UGU-OYIBO (IGBO) SCIENTIFIC NAME- JATROPHA TAJORENSIS (FAMOUS BECAUSE OF ITS ABILITY TO GIVE BLOOD INSTANTLY.) - RED OIL - SALT( SEA SALT ALSO IF POSSIBLE) - UGU LEAVES (ESPECIALLY PLANTED AROUND YOU.) - SCENT LEAVES. - GARLIC - HONEY - GINGER - BITTER KOLA - THE WONDER PLANT, SCIENTIFIC NAME- KALANCHOE PINNATA (NOTABLE FOR TREATING COUGH AND USED FOR ANTI-ALLERGIC PURPOSES, AND MANY MORE.) - TURMERIC - LIME OR LEMON - AND THEN FOR SAFETY PURPOSES ALWAYS HAVE A FIRST AID KIT.
THERE ARE OTHER NUMEROUS HOME REMEDIES, THESE ARE JUST A FEW FOR THIS ARTICLE. IN CONSEQUENT TIMES I WOULD DO A BRIEF IN DEPTH ILLUSTRATION ON A FEW OF THEM, SO THAT WE CAN KNOW MORE OF THEIR BENEFITS AND HOW THEY CAN HELP US ESPECIALLY DURING EMERGENCIES.
LETS LEARN TO BE INDUSTRIOUS WITH OUR SURROUNDINGS, GOD HAS GIVEN US MOTHER NATURE FOR OUR BENEFIT SO LETS ALWAYS MAKE USE OF IT WISELY. …LYDIASCHEERYMOMENTS
