Daily, weekly, for specific ailments that arise. I'd love to create a cheat sheet for reference.

There are no cheat sheets...I have an entire library of reference books. I probably use 15-20 alternative therapies and I have researched each discipline extensively, so that I knew how to properly use each discipline in a safe, effective manner. I have been doing this for over 50 years.
I started reading Adele Davis early on and my initial foray into alternative health was mega-vitamin therapy and herbs. I also started collecting home/folk remedies that I utilized on the 5 kids I raised. I have used chiropractic most of my life and recently did some acupuncture. I took a Touch for Health class that allowed me to incorporate accupressure point therapy and I added homeopathics and foot reflexology about this time. We made our own homeopathics and I eventually added the complete Bach Flower Remedies to my "medicine" chest.
I have used massage, make my own colloidal silver, magnets, EFT, organite, zapper, ear candles, ozone therapy and about 6 years ago got into essential oils, which I use extensively. I am sure I am missing some...but the only drug item I take is ivermectin. I have a vitamin/mineral/herb routine I do daily and I feel pretty prepared to treat just about anything. We have treated bi-polar, schizophrenia, Lyme disease, depression, burns, and all the common and uncommon stuff a family gets, using alternative methods. My family is now grown and they are not in perfect health but we generally steer clear of drugs...except one nurse practioner daughter-in-law.
It is a huge undertaking to learn all this at once but over a span of time, if you can master one thing at a time you end up with a great library and lots of knowledge and the assurance that you can deal with anything that comes your way. Good luck on your journey that starts with one step at a time.
Amen! Wow 50 years of natural medicine! That’s wonderful. I wish I had been introduced sooner. Could have saved me too many years of prescription medication for pain. Thankfully I stumbled across good information and I’m off the medication. I’d love to know some of your favorite books. I’m trying to build a herbal medicine and essential oil reference library.
I'll give you some titles tomorrow..I do have my favorites...I am all snuggled up warmly in my bed at the present...
