Welcome to the blog.

Check back from time to time or leave your email; you will get a notification from me when I write something new.

Herbal First Aid

By Amy O'Dell Wilson / August 4, 2016

I love treating first aid situations.  This week I treated a swollen, infected toe and helped my neighbor with his newly subluxed shoulder.  Over the  year I have treated 3rd degree burns, cut off finger tips, coughs, sore throats, a swollen eye lid, and adrenal stress.
