Humanity has been using natural healing substances for thousands of years and though some entail cat dung and frogs the list I&#8217;ve composed include healing materials that actually do work. So whether your character is in a medieval fantasy setting or stuck in the wilderness with a hospital a thousand miles away, here are some items that can help! I&#8217;m focusing on more first aid or illnesses as opposed to beauty treatments, but many of these plants can be used to keep your characters looking fine too!<\/span><\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;\"><br \/>\n<span style=\"color: red; font-family: 'georgia' , 'times new roman' , serif;\">Disclaimer: I&#8217;m not a medical professional, so if you do happen to personally try some of these remedies make sure to do your due research!<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;\"><span style=\"font-family: 'georgia' , 'times new roman' , serif;\">Images are not mine<\/span><\/span><br \/>\n<!-- more --><\/p>\n<p><!--more--><\/p>\n<h2>1.) Aloe Vera<\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;\">Also known as Jelly Leek and the Plant of Immortality (I figure other names can spur some plot bunnies) is a succulent plant that grows in temperate or tropical regions. If you know anything about natural remedies you&#8217;ve heard of aloe vera. It&#8217;s used internally for aiding digestion and externally for burns, acne, blisters, eczema, warts, insect bites, rashes, and fungal infections. If your character finds themselves washed up on the shore of a tropical country and terribly sunburnt from surviving on a scrap of wood from their ship, this is the plant for them! I&#8217;ve used this plant growing up for sunburn. Despite the strong leafy smell and the yellow sticky residue, it provides instant relief for angry hot skin. Simply remove the spikes with a knife and fillet off the top layer of skin and apply the gel underneath.<\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;\"><br \/>\n<span style=\"font-family: 'georgia' , 'times new roman' , serif;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/holisticzine.com\/medicinal-uses-of-aloe-vera\">Source<\/a><\/span><\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;\"><br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<div class=\"separator\" style=\"clear: both; text-align: center;\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/victoriagracehowell.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/05\/aloe-vera-plants.jpg?resize=640%2C426&#038;ssl=1\" width=\"640\" height=\"426\" border=\"0\" data-original-height=\"734\" data-original-width=\"1100\" \/><\/div>\n<h2><span style=\"font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;\"><span style=\"font-family: 'georgia' , 'times new roman' , serif;\"><br \/>\n<\/span><\/span><br \/>\n2.) Salt<\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;\"><span style=\"font-family: 'georgia' , 'times new roman' , serif;\">You can find salt in the ocean and even from mines inland. Salt mixed with water helps internally sore throats, sore gums, and toothaches and externally burns, cuts, bug bites, insect stings, and poison ivy and oak. A solution of salt and water can be used to treat open wounds since the salt helps kill bacteria and decrease inflammation. Because salt is abrasive it will sting your characters&#8217; injuries so they will be in pain at first, but the salt does decrease pain afterward. So if your character is wounded at sea, put salt water on the wound!<\/span><\/span><span style=\"font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;\"><span style=\"font-family: 'georgia' , 'times new roman' , serif;\"><br \/>\n<\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"font-family: 'georgia' , 'times new roman' , serif;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/health.howstuffworks.com\/wellness\/natural-medicine\/home-remedies\/uses-for-salt-medical-treatments-ga.htm\">Source<\/a><\/span><\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;\"><a href=\"http:\/\/woundcaresociety.org\/salt-water-make-wounds-heal-faster\">Source<\/a><\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<div class=\"separator\" style=\"clear: both; text-align: center;\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/victoriagracehowell.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/05\/474146047_XS.jpg?resize=640%2C336&#038;ssl=1\" width=\"640\" height=\"336\" border=\"0\" data-original-height=\"630\" data-original-width=\"1200\" \/><\/div>\n<h2><span style=\"font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;\"><span style=\"font-family: 'georgia' , 'times new roman' , serif;\"><br \/>\n<\/span><\/span>3.)

Bentonite Clay<\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;\"><span style=\"font-family: 'georgia' , 'times new roman' , serif;\">This clay comes from volcanic ash, so it&#8217;s found in any environment where volcanos can be found. Internally it helps with nausea, digestion, and illnesses. I&#8217;ve personally drunk this clay mixed with water if I think I ate something bad and it&#8217;s helped my stomach. It also helps with heartburn. Externally you can use it for canker sores, wounds, burns, dermatitis, poison ivy and oak, acne, and bug bites and stings. I know for a fact it helps all of this stuff. My skin is extremely sensitive and I use it all the time to help dermatitis. I also have used it to dry out acne. When applied directly to the skin the clay draws out the poison from poison ivy and bug bites and stings, so it speeds up the healing of those. It also helps open wounds and prevents them from becoming infected. If your character is attacked by wasps, put this on the stings to bring them relief!<\/span><\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;\"><span style=\"font-family: 'georgia' , 'times new roman' , serif;\"><br \/>\n<\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"font-family: 'georgia' , 'times new roman' , serif;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/draxe.com\/10-bentonite-clay-benefits-uses\/\">Source<\/a><\/span><\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;\"><span style=\"font-family: 'georgia' , 'times new roman' , serif;\"><br \/>\n<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<div class=\"separator\" style=\"clear: both; text-align: center;\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/victoriagracehowell.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/05\/bentonite.jpg?resize=640%2C426&#038;ssl=1\" width=\"640\" height=\"426\" border=\"0\" data-original-height=\"347\" data-original-width=\"520\" \/><\/div>\n<h2><span style=\"font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;\"><span style=\"font-family: 'georgia' , 'times new roman' , serif;\"><br \/>\n<\/span><\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: large;\">6.)
