And there's an affiliate program for what I used so I'll fill you in on the details, it may be useful to anyone in the survival and or health niche or life in general.

Cayenne and Comfrey Hacks

• Injuries - comfrey relieves swelling and pain even in very severe bruising
  
• Shock - cayenne prevents this, shock can be fatal
• Bleeding - cayenne equalizes pressure in the body, stops bleeding
• Heart attacks, cayenne has kept people alive by delivering oxygen to the heart
• Hypothermia - cayenne can bring people's core temp up and stop it going down

So I mention both of cayenne and comfrey as with bruising and injury or any situation where tissue or limbs need repair comfrey is the main player, but cayenne can bring the comfrey deeper into the skin in some cases when that's needed, or as in my case tonight I needed the blood pressure equalizing effects and shock prevention of the cayenne.

Where can you learn how to do all this?

The best place and the place most other courses seem to be copying is The School of Natural Healing and if you go to their website snh .cc then you just follow the affiliate link sign up. They have a foundation course called The Family Herbalist and in total 22 Master Herbalist modules. There are other courses out there by the same name /however that happens/ but this one is the original and been around the longest and given by master herbalists with an accredited course and program in Master Herbalism - so that is the affiliate program.

As most of you know, you can find affiliate programs for any niche by typing in the name of the niche and affiliate programs into google and usually a long list comes up for you to choose from. Oddly enough the first page in google tonight did not throw me up any results for survival niche affiliate programs but they will be there with some searching. There's a bunch in the Grow Network too but I've seen the herb courses there and they are just not as good, on the other hand they will teach you how to homestead and grow chickens!

What did I do to myself and how did I fix it?!

Well I was unloading the car in the dark and heard a voice behind me, looked around to see where it was coming from and then back again in distracted mode and not seeing the corner of the black car door until I heard the almighty crack of it against my nose just missing my eye, time stood still, phenomenal pain, wondered what on earth I'd just done and could it ever recover as it felt so bad...and did I need to call someone, at 11pm when really there is no one to call out in rural Ireland...

I thought maybe the nose was broken but was in so much pain and shock I just went in and grabbed my comfrey leaves and poured boiling water on them to make a quick strong tea. Then grabbed some cotton pads and started applying the comfrey to the area leaving the pad on, pouring more hot comfrey on the pad, over and over, the pain was so bad I just kept doing it.

I couldn't find my cayenne tincture so took a teaspoon of hot cayenne powder in water and drank it down and that was nearly as painful as the injury. The pain was so intense and the swelling and the pressure build up that I just kept applying the hot comfrey tea over and over and at one point added cayenne water to it ...it felt like life would never be the same again, I'd probably destroyed my face, I already had a vein issue which means injuries are worse with me, suddenly one hour into this intense protocol I found the pain went down, I could bend over without my face feeling like it was going to explode in that area and I dared look in the mirror and the swelling had gone down, just a bit of redness remained. Maybe it will be black and blue in the morning, but the difference in pain and my ability to feel normal and function is phenomenal!

Not my first encounter with comfrey or a car door!

Some years back I let the heavy door fall on my arm and it was so bad I was afraid to look at it that entire evening. I just got a large piece of cotton padding the size of the arm and poured very strong tea on it and bandaged it on over night, and next morning the pain had gone down and I could look at it and move it more freely. I felt so good I stopped using the comfrey, but the pain came back, really had to keep using it for a week that time.

Not my first encounter with cayenne!

I've used cayenne a number of ways already eg last summer I got some new knives and you know what it's like when you get a new sharp knife that you aren't used to yet - yep - cut through a chunck of finger first use, so I grabbed the cayenne powder and piled it straight into the cut and the bleeding stopped immediately...I've also used it for heart strain in the past too and it worked immediately. Anyone in cold weather can take it to keep warm too.

The Family Herbalist course teaches a lot of other stuff like that and more than anything I've learned in the health niche this course has kept me out of hospital over and over again, it used to be called 'be your own doctor' which in an emergency situation or isolated situation is precisely the sort of information you need to hand - at least until you have help. For some of us that help isn't always around though and grateful for this knowledge that isn't all that well known out there.

There are many success stories, I just gave you a couple of personal examples but the reason I know what to do is I heard what other people did successfully in their own situations that come up.

I'll include some pics later, I literally just took this comfrey pad off for the first time and feel good...pheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeew!!!!
