🌿 Natural Remedies Doctors Actually Use (Worth Knowing!)
Came across a great video where doctors from all different specialties shared the one natural remedy they personally swear by — and honestly, some of these surprised me. Posting it here because so many of us are building homesteads, first-aid kits, or just trying to keep our families healthy with simple, reliable tools.
Here are a few standouts worth adding to your prep kit:
🍯 Honey for coughs (ages 1+) – works as well as OTC cough syrup.
🍋 Ginger – excellent for nausea, motion sickness, and upset stomachs.
🧴 White vinegar (diluted) – cleans small wounds, helps smelly feet, dandruff, and mild fungal issues.
🧼 Olive oil – softens earwax safely.
🍒 Cranberry (with proper PAC levels) – can help reduce UTIs.
🦶 Vicks VapoRub – may slow toenail fungus when used consistently.
💨 Alcohol wipe sniffing – weird but works fast for nausea.
🌿 Peppermint / lavender oils – for headaches, bloating, and relaxation.
🦷 Clove oil – temporary toothache relief.
💪 Exercise & walking – repeatedly mentioned as “medicine” for inflammation, mood, and healing.
😴 Sleep – nearly every doctor emphasized it. Better than most supplements and gadgets.
Of course, none of this replaces real medical care — but these are solid, evidence-based additions to any prepper’s natural-remedy toolbox.
