This year, while observing nature, you will notice the squirrels have started gathering food sooner that usual. If nature gives any indication of the coming seasons then like the squirrel, we too, should start getting prepared and be ready for the coming season. Being prepared increases our sense of security and can help to make difficult situations go by smoother and with less distress. Use the following four steps to prepare yourself and your home for adverse winter weather conditions, emergencies or the usual wintertime power outages. Stock your herbal/first aid medicine cabinet. Sometimes it is impossible to get to a doctor, whether because of extreme weather conditions, no transportation or an emergency situation requiring immediate attention. Having a supply of herbal remedies for times of sickness and emergencies is important. If these situations should arise you will be able to respond immediately instead of needing to make a trip to town to get medicine or waiting for a doctors appointment. Stock up on remedies that treat colds, flu, coughs, skin wounds, muscle wounds and intestinal upset. For a list of tried and true remedies that you can add to your home medicine cabinet go to: http://www.naturalfamilyhome.com/medicinecab.html Herb books are an important resource to own. They can help you make informed decisions concerning you and your families health care. A list of my favorite herb books along with descriptions can be found at http://www.naturalfamilyhome.com/herbalhealth.html Also important is a First-Aid manual. They are indispensable for knowing how to deal with accidents such as broken bones, electrical shock, concussions, etc. Take a first-aid class. Most hospital's offer community education first-aid/CPR classes at reasonable prices. What you learn could save a life.
