So we’ve got the basics (Tylenol, ibuprophen, etc), but it seems like the whole family is sick this week.

What medicine/remedies are useful to keep on hand just in case (as the pharmacy is quite far)? 💊 🍵

I eat aloe vera if it’s soaked in water for a while, it takes the iodine out of it. It’s a good plant to have, helpful for lots of remedies. I will buy some to plant when I get the chance.

Ginger is pretty easy to get, and I’ve been meaning to get garlic. I’ll have to look into propagating ginger, could be a neat project.
