Preppers know that the flu can significantly affect their productivity, especially when they get sick during a disaster scenario. The good thing is, instead of relying on prescription drugs associated with negative side effects, there are natural remedies that can help you recover even after SHTF. (h/t to PrepperWebsite.com)
Here are some natural cures that you can try if you’re feeling under the weather.
There are different types of essential oils (EOs) for various conditions. When you have the flu, EOs such as lavender, lemon, or tea tree can help you recover. Use a diffuser or dilute EOs in carrier oil then take a soothing bath. (Related: An essential oil remedy that prevents the flu when SHTF.)
These remedies also use EOs to naturally ease your flu symptoms.
Below is a recipe for a eucalyptus shower bomb.
Ingredients:
Steps:
The shower bombs will still work even if they become crumbly. This just means that the batch you made needs a bit more liquid. If the shower bombs crumble too much, use a fork to turn them into a powder then scoop out at least two tablespoons into a little dish to place in a steamy shower.
To use a shower bomb, toss it onto the floor of a warm shower. The steam will create a fragrant vapor that can clear your sinuses and offer relief for congestion. The shower bombs can also be added to bathwater in a tub.
The following herbal remedies and teas can also help you feel better if you have the flu.
Even if SHTF, you can use these natural cures to feel better in no time.
