interesting. It also sounds very easy. With possible medium term storage possibilities.
What additives would you recommend for someone with rosacea?
Bandages – now that would be an interesting topic of discussion. Seems like a plethora of rags will be needed in a prepper situation, for all sorts of purposes. I never thought about this.
I also didn’t know turmeric was a good anti microbial . Seems it has lots of healing properties.
Don’t forget some Gentian Violet—the best anti-fungal in creation.
My mother was very frugal and it took, even though I didn’t live with my parents after age 15.
I use turmeric not just for food but for “golden milk”, and keep a small container in the bathroom for “owies” of all kinds. Sprinkle a little on cuts heals them up very fast, making a paste for infections, pimply things etc.
Turmeric has so many medicinal benefits it has the most pages in many of my herb books.
Rosacea is tricky, I had it very badly a few years ago and finally it went away, am trying to help treat someone with it now.
Cooling herbs would be good to add, I would go this route:
Any kind of powdered sandalwood (authentic, not with any added fragrance)
Tumeric
Neem (has to be ordered, not expensive, MANY uses but especially inflammatory skin disorders)
Spearmint
Rose - very cooling for “hot” conditions, and also anti-microbial and anti-inflammatory
Then instead of mixing with water to make a paste, mix with milk and/or rosewater. I buy rosewater at Arab/Indian grocery stores, usually 12 bottles at a time. I make rosewater and glycerine for cracked skin and other uses.
