Slippery Elm Powder -Antibacterial. Great for rashes, bites and stings. Will reduce itching and help weeping sores and dry them. Outstanding for use with chicken pox and impetigo. I would guess it would work great with poison ivy or oak too, but I haven't had to try it. Apply liberally with cotton ball as often as needed.

Slippery Elm Lozenges -Great for stomach aches, cough, sore throat, coats and soothes mucus membranes. Make your own by mixing powder with pure maple syrup or honey. Roll into balls and let dry.

Ginger Root -for colds, for stomach. Use fresh root when you can find it. Grate it and eat some or make some tea with it. Add lemon for zest! A little goes a long way.

Apple Cider Vinegar -drink a few tablespoons in very hot water for colds and infections. Can cure strep throat. Use topically for athletes foot, ringworm, and dry scalp. Antifungal and antibacterial.  Natural energy booster.
