I make
colloidal silver for many uses around the home. I make batches at 16ppm in mason jars and rotate the product.
I am a believer in
Himalayan Crystal Salt. I use it in cooking, in
SOLE (so-lay) water for detoxifing and alkalizing the body. I have bought a few 55lbs bags of the stuff in different sized chunks and granuals. The salt is far better than any sea salt and has 84 minerals within it. You can easily supplement any mineral defficiency with it. It has also been known to help lower blood pressure.
One can also make their own
tinctures with use of a
still. One can make the liquid base (vodka or the like) with the still as well as extracting essences from herbs and other plant matter.
There are a variety of
medicinal fermented beverages one can make, too. An excellent resource on ancient medicinal brews can be found in this publication:
It is also a good idea to have a book on regional medicinal herbs and wild forrage foods to keep one's nutrition in check, for curiosity, daily use or merely for when SHTF.
