Herbs Every Family Should Have Stocked Before Summer Hits | Episode 510

Pioneering Today Podcast - Homesteading in a Modern World

About

Summer means more time outside… and more sunburns, bug bites, bee stings, scrapes, and itchy skin. In today's episode, I'm sharing the herbal remedies for summer that I always keep stocked in our home apothecary before we need them.

These are the natural remedies I personally reach for first when it comes to:
🌿 Sunburn relief
🦟 Mosquito bites & itchy skin
🐝 Bee stings & wasp stings
🩹 Cuts, scrapes & wound healing
💜 Bruises & sore tissue

We're talking about practical herbalism you can actually use in everyday life with simple remedies like lavender, aloe vera, plantain, calendula, yarrow, chamomile, arnica, and more.
