There are definitely situations that call for serious medical care and the technological advances of modern medicine, but for certain
first aid requirements the remedies that have been used for hundreds of years are still relevant---and effective. Have a tweaked neck? Before reaching for the traditional tablet pain relievers, try a
natural pain reliever like an
organic cotton lavender neck wrap that be heated in the microwave or frozen in the freezer for a hot and cold treatment that also uses the power of
aromatherapy to calm and relax you and your muscles. Or consider trying
homeopathic remedies from
Hyland's for a range of ailments; they have no side effects and won't interact with any other medication you're currently taking. Even the most basic
natural first aid treatments may be surprisingly effective and rival harsher medicines, like a hot water bottle---made from
natural rubber, of course---for cramping or aches. Getting a greener medicine cabinet doesn't mean giving up the wonders of modern medicine, after all, just incorporating some eco-friendly elements into your arsenal.
