What if there was a zombie apocalpyse, and you had to grab a backpack with a handful of your favourite natural medicines? What if you were lost in the wild and were dreaming of the medicines that could save you? What if you were going to a desert island, and some nasty person only let you take 3 medicines? What natural remedies would you take?
What would be your 'survivor' natural medicines?
This challenge asks you to look carefully at your natural medicine first aid kit and ask: what plants or other natural remedies would be the best ones in a survival situation?
We're hoping to have a bit of fun with this one, so if you want to get creative and write the story scenario, we'll definitely reward that!
You could also consider other angles, too:
- What natural medicines HAVE been used in survival situations, either yours or someone elses, or historic 'survival' medicines?
- What natural medicine/s could you absolutely NOT do without - the one/s you recommend to everyone, all the time?
You should only choose:
- between 1 and 3 medicines
- it's fine to have more than one form of that medicine, say, tablet plus fresh plus powder can count for 'one' medicine
- a natural medicine - no big pharma anti-biotics, please
- something that is going to be a good saviour in emergencies
Of course, we will be considering posts as winners if they:
- have original and/or sourced photos
- are original
- contain anecdotal and/or research as evidence for the efficacy of these medicines
- are well written and edited
