ARTICLE: Herbal First Aid Part II 

by Kurt King, Master Herbalist, author of Herbs to the Rescue

There are six basic steps that apply in any first aid situation.  They are:

1)  Stay calm and think first before you act.

2)  Check if person is breathing and if there is a heartbeat.  (Pulse check on wrist or neck arteries.  Visually notice chest action for breathing.)  If person is not breathing or pulse cannot be found, administer emergency CPR immediately.

3) Check for severe bleeding (hemorrhage).

4) The next priority is to examine for shock (Shock is a serious condition of acute circulatory collapse, usually brought on by severe blood loss or trauma).  Then examine for head injuries, fractures, lacerations and dislocations.

5) Begin treating person accordingly using a good "bed-side manner," calming and reassuring the person to help prevent shock or hysteria.

6) Find adequate shelter for the injured person, out of the harsh elements.  Keep person warm, calm and reassured that all is going well.

WHERE YOU SHOULD HAVE FIRST AID KITS:

1. Keep a kit in the trunk of each of your vehicles

2. Take a smaller kit with you when you travel by plane or train (be aware of any safety restrictions on items in your kit while traveling)

3. In your home

NEWS/FEATURED PRODUCT: Herbs to the Rescue, Local Classes
 

"Kurt and I [David Christopher] sat down together recently, swapping herb stories, discussing case histories, and exchanging remedies.  In the course of our reunion, and after much discussion, we decided that a usable book on herbal first aid was greatly needed.

 

"Because of time restraints, I bowed out of the project and encouraged Kurt to write the book.  After reviewing the book I can say that he's put together a wonderful guide to not only first aid but health care in general.

 

"At the risk of sounding trite, let me say, study this book, use this book, and please 'don't leave home without it.'" (Herbs to the Rescue - Introduction by David Christopher).

 

Kurt King's excellent book, "Herbs to the Rescue: Herbal First Aid Handbook" is a book that you need a copy of with every herbal first aid kit you have.   While only 90 pages long, you would be hard-pressed to come across an emergency that this book doesn't cover.  And for only $9.95, you can't afford to be without a few copies!
