Medicine and Hygiene

  • A health crisis can unravel a community faster than any shortage of food.
  • A medicinal garden is the first line of defense: yarrow for wounds, willow bark for pain, garlic and elderberry for immunity.
  • Cultivate medicinal and gourmet mushrooms to support health and food security.
  • Soap-making and alcohol distillation ensure sanitation, while composting toilets turn waste from a problem into a resource.
  • First aid kits stocked with sutures, tourniquets, and antibiotics can make all the difference when needed.
