Looking to support your body's best health in a natural way? Here's a general reference for common ailments and their natural solutions. We have everything from your favorite Humble products to everyday household items that can help reset & heal you without having to hit the pharmacy. The biggest bonus too, is that all of our natural solutions are 100% non-toxic and plant-based.

 

Burns/Sunburns:

To help counteract burns, you want to reduce inflammation and heal skin using very gentle ingredients, such as:

  • Aloe (always keep a plant growing at home! It's 100% better than a gel from the store where aloe is one of many ingredients along with preservatives!!)
  • Calendula - the ultimate healer, helps reduce redness & encourages healing
  • CBD - brings down redness & inflammation & reduces pain during healing

Recommended products for burns/sunburns:

 Cuts/Scrapes:

Not all plants are safe to use on broken skin, so you need to be cautious. However, there are many common plants (some probably growing in your backyard!) which are amazing natural remedies with antibacterial and wound-healing qualities to help treat minor cuts & scrapes.

  • Plantain - not to be confused with bananas, you have likely seen this "weed" growing in your yard. It is one of nature's wonders: it helps to draw out stings, bites, toxins & pain from a wound and also assists the healing process
  • Lavender - safe to use on broken skin, lavender is naturally antibacterial and antimicrobial
  • Colloidal SilverUntil modern antibiotics were formulated and widely distributed, Colloidal Silver was the original source of antibacterial medicine used by physicians across the world.

Immunity Boosting:

These plants help boost your body's ability to fight infection and get over a cold quicker!

  • Elderberries - a staple for keeping immune function high, this is great to take when weather cools down and also when infection hits
  • Echinacea - stimulates the immune system and helps your body fight the good fight! 
  • Garlic - the more of this you can eat raw the better! Garlic is antimicrobial, antibacterial and antifungal
