Don't have a first-aid kit on hand? Take care o those minor scrapes and bruises with nature'shealing plants.YEARS husband was working on his favorite hobby, a Honda motorcycle, when he accidently burned his arm on the motor casing. His mother heard us (I was with him at the time) and came running over carrying some sort of cactus plant. She broke off one of the thick leaves and started rubbing the oozing gel on his burn. The pain stopped almost immediately. He continued to apply the plant gel for days until the wound healed. Hardly any scarring developed. This incident served as my introductionto plant medicine.As herb-lovers, we know a lot about a range of medicinal herbs. Of course, many of these helpful plants grow right in our backyards. Whether you're in the garden, on a stroll, or out hiking and exploring the wilderness, there are plenty of plants that can come to the rescue for minor medical issues in a pinch.
