While at Patriot Camp we had a couple of injuries and I was able to pull out my little emergency first aid kit I keep in my purse. It has four items in it and that is all I need for the cut, scrape and abrasion here and there. It contains a wound wash, which I will show you how to make today, my healing salve, some cotton pads and band-aids.
I was able to quickly spray the wound, cleaning and disinfecting it, wipe with the cotton pad, apply the salve, which speeds healing and prevents infection and slap on a band-aid. All better, all naturally!

Wound Wash Recipe
3 oz. herbal infused witch hazel (lavender, yarrow, thyme, calendula)
3 oz. distilled water (or calendula tea)
2 oz. aloe vera liquid
1 Tbsp. castile soap
30 drops Melaleuca angustifolia (tea tree) essential oil or first aid blend
15 drops lavender essential oil
3 oz. distilled water (or calendula tea)
2 oz. aloe vera liquid
1 Tbsp. castile soap
30 drops Melaleuca angustifolia (tea tree) essential oil or first aid blend
15 drops lavender essential oil
To make the herbal infused witch hazel mix together equal parts lavender, thyme, yarrow and calendula. Fill a jar 1/4 full of the herbs and pour witch hazel up to 1" from the top, steep for 2-4 weeks and strain. You can make an herbal tea from any of the above mentioned herbs with distilled water or use just plain distilled water. Then add the remaining ingredients. Mix well and pour into a spritzer bottle.
