Essential pantry items to have on hand
This is my ‘desert island list.’ If I were being exiled and had to choose only a few substances to stock up on for healing and making household items and cosmetics, I would choose these (in no particular order):
- Apple cider vinegar – alkalizing agent
- Baking soda – alkalizing agent
- Turmeric – fresh and powder, anti-inflammatory, metal chelator
- Cannabis oil – immune booster, cancer killer
- Honey – immune booster, anti-bacterial, anti-viral
- Fish oil – source of Omega 3 fatty acids and iodine
- Garlic – you name it, garlic has it, as healing substance
- Ginger – almost as good as garlic
- Astragalus – immune-boosting, detoxifying herb
- Ashwaganda – adaptogenic herb
- Resveretrol – polyphenol with anti-oxidant qualities
- Medicinal mushrooms – immune-boosting, cancer-fighting
- Vitamin D3– linked to cancer and immunity
- Iodine – anti-parasitic element essential for thyroid
- Seaweed and/or powdered greens – detox, source of iodine
- Lemon juice – stimulates bile production, alkalyzing
- Coconut oil – medicinal and cosmetic uses
- Tea tree oil – strong anti-microbial
- Oregano oil – antimicrobial, immune-boosting
- Castor oil – medicinal and cosmetic uses
