#10 Critical Home Remedy Supplies for Preppers

Panic is what most people are likely to experience in times of emergencies and the aftermath of a terrorist attack or a natural disaster.

People will start rushing to the stores and malls to pick up all the essential items they think that they will need.

If you are a good prepper, you have probably already prepared your supplies and stores beforehand.

However, medication is one item that’s typically used up quickly. Obtaining medicines during times of crisis can be tough.

Even aspirin is likely to be sold out. In times of stress and survival situations, illnesses are likely to be on the rise. People will increasingly find themselves suffering from upset stomachs, headaches, diarrhea, etc.

This is incredibly common, and you are likely to be surprised at just how fast the medical supplies get used up in a time of crisis.

If four adults take four tablets of aspirin daily over a period of 3 days, the total number of pills consumed will be 48, which is just within three days.

So, you can only imagine just how quickly your medical supplies are likely to be depleted if the whole family is unwell, which typically happens in times of crisis.

Headaches, insect bites, body aches, indigestion, flu, etc. will probably be on the rise. Which is why you need to ask yourself a very critical question:

What happens if or when you run out of medication? Do you merely panic and rush to your local chemist? What if you find it closed or there aren’t any more supplies?

Don’t panic. Nature has provided highly effective remedies that have worked for a long time. Most people don’t know of these remedies because the society that will currently live in has a pill for virtually everything.

However, society tends to break down in times of crisis. So, you need to forget about the pills and start going natural. Below is a list of items that any savvy prepper should consider stacking up.
