Herbal First Aid

Reach for a remedy from your garden when outdoor activities result in bites, burns, bumps, or blisters. Many herbs, use fresh or in simple preparations, offer time-tested treatments for minor skin maladies.

Heat rash: Use sage, lavender, and lemon balm in a bath. After drying off use a dusting powder made with cornstarch.
Wasp or Bee sting or mosquito bite: Remove the stinger. Apply lavender essential oil.
Sunburn: Apply aloe vera (the gel in the leaves). Use lavender and mint oil in a bath.
Minor cut: Apply clean, fresh crushed plantain, mullein, or comfrey leaf.
Scrapes: Apply a mullein, or yarrow poultice or rose geranium essential oil. Use thyme, calendula and rosemary in a bath.

When treatment is needed, first use clean, cool water and a little soap to clean the affected area; apply ice to reduce swelling.

Seek medical advice for serious injuries or if you have allergic reactions.
