I often post about stocking spices to add flavor and variety to food storage, but my friend Emily has given me another reason: home remedies. She has graciously shared three very nice publications that she compiled with information on health benefits and uses for multiple herbs and spices. You can download her brochures here:
Thanks for the great information, Emily!
Are you familiar with Thieves Oil? It’s an essential oil blend that was used by grave robbers during the bubonic plague during the 1400s which prevented them from getting sick. It’s great stuff and has a really pleasant aroma. Also on my must-have list for prep for a pandemic or flu.
I’ve never heard of Thieves Oil. Sounds interesting though. Thanks for sharing it. I’ll definitely read up on it.
