10 Essential Prepper Supplies For Home Remedies

If you are a prepper – or just like to be prepared just in case there is a natural disaster, terrorist attack or illness, then you want to stock up on these prepper supplies for emergency home remedies.

Home Remedies Help You Avoid Panic

Any time there is an emergency situation, people start to panic.

Even when the emergency situation is under control, people continue to panic during the aftermath.

Both before and after the emergency situation people rush to malls and stores to buy up whatever essential items that they think they will need.

If you are well prepared, you already have bought and stored your home remedy supplies beforehand.

Keep Extra Medications On Hand

However, one item that is usually used up quickly is medication.

It is often extremely difficult to procure medication during a crisis.

Even aspirin ends up selling out.

In survival situations and times of stress, illnesses tends to rise.

More people find themselves having headaches, upset stomachs, diarrhea, etc.

This is very common and even if you have medicine supplies stored, you are sure to be amazed at how fast they are used up.

4 adults taking four aspirin tablets a day over three days is 48 tablets and that’s only over the course of three days!

So, you can imagine just how fast your prescription and non-prescription medicine stocks could be depleted.

Now imagine if the entire family is unwell, and that usually happens during a crisis.

There may be more headaches, flu, body aches, insect bites, indigestion, etc.

Natural Home Remedies For Emergency Situations

Which brings us to an important question.

What do you do if you run out of medication?

Will you panic and rush to the nearest pharmacist?

What if the pharmacy is closed or there are no more supplies?

Do not panic.

There are several natural remedies that are highly effective and have worked for ages.

Most people are unaware of these remedies because we live in a society where there is a pill for everything.

During a crisis, society tends to break down and that makes it an ideal time to forget the pills and go natural.
