Natural First Aid.

A medicinal herbal guide.

Natural First Aid
• Herbal Treatments for Ailments & Injuries
• Emergency Preparedness
• Wilderness Safety.

This book is intended to educate and expand one's concepts of how to deal
with a crisis. It is not intended to take the place of courses in first aid or to
replace medical care when needed.

Introduction
Stay calm. Move quickly. Know what to do. Those three rules are the foundation of natural first aid. They can mean
the difference between life and death, injury and disability, a night in the hospital and a life in a nursing home.
Unfortunately, even though most of us can generally manage to stay calm and move fast during a crisis, few of us
really know what to do in an emergency or when an accident occurs. Even fewer know when and how to use the
herbs and other home remedies that can heal.
That's why this book was written. It contains all the techniques you need to render emergency first aid, specific
instructions for over 75 injuries and conditions, and clear indications for when medical help is needed. There is also a
complete list of the ingredients you'll need to stock three different first-aid kits: an herbal kit to stay at home, a
survival kit to keep in your car, and a traveling kit to tuck in your handbag or briefcase as you go about your life.
With this book, you'll always be prepared. Memorize its lifesaving techniques. Learn its commonsense healing. Then
supplement this knowledge by taking a first-aid and CPR course at your local Red Cross. And remember: This book is
intended not as a replacement for competent medical care when it is needed, but as a guide for appropriate action until
help can be obtained.

In an emergency, call for help as soon as possible. Ask the injured person if he or she has any allergies, is on any
medication, or suffers from any medical conditions so that you can relay this information to medical personnel should
the victim lose consciousness. If the victim is unconscious, check for medical alert bracelets. Never give food or water
to an unconscious person as they may choke. And never move a person with serious injuries, especially those
affecting the neck or spine. Your efforts, well meaning though they may be, could cause serious damage.
One final note: Preventing accidents and injuries is always easier than responding to them. That's why I not only keep
medicines out of children's reach and in-line skates off the stairs, but also why I often visualize surrounding myself
and my loved ones with an aura of light as we go off into the busy world. It's a form of prayer and my way of
acknowledging and asking for divine protection. I firmly believe it has helped save my family from danger—and I
urge you to use it, too.
Many blessings!
