How to prepare your home for winter

 

Herbs and Such - Home Preparedness - How To Prepare Your Home For

Winter Part 1 of a 3 Part Series

 

Each Fall the squirrels gather acorns and nuts, filling their nests

in preparation for the coming winter. 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

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.
