This five-herb People's Paste recipe is one of the herbal preparations I've kept with our family's homestead first-aid supplies for years.

In this video, I'll show you exactly how I make my version of People's Paste using:

    Comfrey root powder
    Slippery elm bark powder
    Myrrh gum powder
    Bayberry root powder
    Garlic powder

I'll also share the story of the accident that convinced me I always wanted this blend ready on the shelf, why I chose each of the five herbs, the simple ratio I use to make any size batch, how I store powdered herbs, and an easy option if you don't want to buy five separate bags of herbs.

Remember, herbal remedies don't replace good first aid or appropriate medical care. Deep, gaping, contaminated or heavily bleeding wounds need professional evaluation. 

Being prepared means more than having herbs on the shelf. It means having the right supplies, knowing basic first aid and recognizing when an injury needs medical attention.
