Armageddon Pharmacy: Herbal Medicine. When The Drugstore Is Closed (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9798322701385)

Armageddon Pharmacy provides essential guidance for transforming local plants-culinary herbs, flowers, vegetables, shrubs, trees, and weeds-into critical medications that exert medically proven effects.

While over one hundred herbs and other substances are covered, just having a dozen or so will serve a family well. The native plants (about 20% of the total) profiled hail from the Intermountain West. However, the most important, like juniper and usnea, thrive all over the country. Significant medicinal culinary herbs like thyme, oregano, and rosemary grow in home gardens everywhere. Common landscaping plants, residential and commercial, also find their way into the herbal medicine cabinet. And finally, also included are the clinically proven medicinal uses of natural non-herb substances like pectin and baking soda, as well as the healing virtues such as hope, forgiveness, and generosity.

While Armageddon Pharmacy covers antibiotics and antivirals admirably, there's more to life (or disease and death) than bacteria and viruses. Armageddon Pharmacy also addresses antifungals, dewormers, communicable diseases, wound care, and so much more. In addition, details are provided on those herbs that synergize well with industrial pharmaceuticals, meaning you're able to extend the supply of those critical medications further.

Without modern medicine, we'll be starring in our own 1800s survival reality show, entering uncharted territory. Never has such a medically advanced society suddenly lost it all, whether due to collapse of the infrastructure, geopolitical instability, civil unrest, or earth-shattering natural disaster. Armageddon Pharmacy is for when there is no internet, no UPS deliveries, no or limited doctors, no lab tests.

Using Armageddon Pharmacy, locate herbs addressing medical conditions of most concern to you. Consider the medicinal uses of items you have on hand-sugar, honey, and gelatin. Determine the medicinal utility of what's already growing in your yard-dandelion, plantain, oak, pine. What about your neighborhood? Choose 10-15 herbs to start learning. Work with what you've got. In no time you'll be ready to address whatever a collapsing society has to throw at you.
