As
we recover the value of herbs for health and healing, one of the best health
investments is a basic herbal medicinal chest kit, so that useful remedies are
on hand whenever you need them. An
herbal kit is a safe way to cope with everyday healing problems and non-serious
health conditions. It can handle
many problems immediately and simply, and save you hundreds of dollars in doctor
bills, and keep you from a traumatic, time consuming visit to a medical clinic. The choices following are easy to use, inexpensive, safe
enough for children and effective enough for adults. Make your own or try our
