One of my yearly housekeeping rituals is cleaning out and restocking my natural medicine cabinet. (not my supplement cabinet - that’s a whole different animal!) These are the simple staples and tools I have on hand for common minor ailments like a sore throat, a headache, an upset stomach, or congestion. I like to keep my medicine cabinet simple, intentional, and well-curated.

This post walks you through the key categories I recommend having on hand - along with my favorite products and brands I personally use and trust.

  • Global Healing Organic Oil of Oregano capsules 

  • NOW Oregano Oil capsules with ginger and fennel

  • Cellcore Para 3 (this is great to use if you have it leftover from the Foundational Protocol).

 
 
 
 
 

Headache, Pain & Fever Support

Naturally addressing a headache (or pain) can be tricky because there are a lot of different causes, including:

  • Headache

    • dehydration or electrolyte imbalance

    • vascular constriction

    • stress or nervous system overload

    • hormone shifts

    • poor lymphatic drainage or toxin clearance

  • That said, here are some things to consider:

    • Sufficient hydration 

    • Electrolytes 

    • Peppermint essential oil blend (topical)

    • Homeopathic headache drops

    • Ginger-based remedies (like Relief from Rowe Casa) 

    • Evening primrose oil for hormonal headaches

    • Sinus spray, nasal irrigation and lymphatic drainage for sinus-related headaches

  • Fever

    • Consider hydration, minerals, and rest before trying to suppress a low-grade fever which is part of the body’s mechanism for healing.
      There are homeopathic options for addressing fevers.

 
 
 
 

Mild Stomach Discomfort 

  • Bloating/Gas/Nausea
    Ginger and peppermint are both good for addressing mild stomach ailments and the good news is they come in multiple forms like teas, capsules, tinctures and essential oil blends. Keep on hand whichever form you like best. Please keep in mind these may be a little too “hot” for someone with ulcers or reflux.

    • Protocol For Life Peppermint Capsules with Ginger 

    • Organic Peppermint Tea

    • Organic Ginger Root Tea

⭐️ Tip: If you’re relying on antacids regularly, that’s a sign to work with a practitioner.

  • Binder 

    • Activated Charcoal
      -       Short-term only
      - Helpful for food poisoning or acute reactions
      - Work locally in the gut

    • CellCore binders
       - Can be used long-term
      - Helpful for ongoing detox support
      - Work throughout the body

⭐️ Binders are such an incredible tool! I have two blog posts about them if you’d like to learn more:

 
 
 
 
 

Scrapes and Skin Healing

Gels, ointments and salves for cuts, burns, rashes, eczema

  • Arnica (bruises, muscle soreness - comes in topical and capsule form)

  • Rowe Casa BooBoo Cream (includes colloidal silver + essential oils)

  • Wise Woman Herbals salve (Fullscript)

  • Sovereign Silver first aid gel

Bonus Recovery Tools

  • Epsom salts or magnesium flakes (baths for aches, illness)

  • Portable red / near-infrared light (this one is my favorite because it can used directly on the skin - think cramps, muscle fatigue/soreness/sprains)

Final Thoughts

Your natural medicine cabinet doesn’t need to be complicated.

It just needs to be:

  • intentional

  • supportive

  • familiar

Build it slowly. Learn how to use what you have. And focus on supporting the body with gentle, natural options instead of harsh, forceful chemicals.
