The Natural First Aid Handbook

Everyone should know basic emergency preparedness.

One of the things that I really like about this book is it has traditional treatment methods, household remedies, herbal remedies, and homeopathic remedies (when applicable). It covers injuries as well as emergency preparedness. It’s all well organized which makes it easy to find the treatment methods or emergency situation. It takes a balanced approach to treating injuries and points out when you should immediately seek out medical treatment.

Its small size makes it easy to keep in a prep kit. The one thing that would make it better is if it was spiral bound so it would stay open when dealing with a specific task.

This is a brief overview type book, so it’s great for emergency situations, but you’ll want to have a more in-depth book available for specific situations. The book does note the importance of getting training – especially CPR training.
