Presented at the 2019 Northwest Herb Symposium on August 22-25, 2019
For over 40 years there were usually no regular medical personnel on the small (4+ square mile) isolated island where I live. As a consequence I was often the go-to person for many both acute and persistent health problems. Fortunately, in many cases herbal remedies and/or lifestyle changes advice resulted in pathology resolution.
In this class I will describe in detail cases where local (usually) plant remedies were used for successful outcomes.
Included will be: home childbirth, deep soft tissue lacerations, acute multiple bee sting poisoning, cartilaginous lumps, burning urine, nocturia, ED, solid and/or vascular hemorrhoids, Giardia, aggressive diarrhea, open weeping topical sores, deeply embedded splinters, whooping cough, acute blood poisoning/phlebitis, chronic aching joints, first signs of colds or flu, intense pain, insomnia and more.
