Naturokits - Basic First Aid Kit

A Product Review of Using Naturokits

by Karen

Thank you to Padeen Quinn, ND and Julie Verfurth, ND for introducing Erica and I to your Basic First Aid Naturokit.

We talked with Padeen on today's show and I shared that I had been using the kit at home. For all you listeners...here is a list of the ways in which I have used the remedies in the past couple weeks (and not all of these where my personal injuries or issues - wink, wink!)...

Sprained ankle, allergy attack, oven burn, insect bite, nose-ring piercing, scraped knee, an itchy patch of skin, lip sore, cut finger, calming down after seeing that the cat pee all over the garage, tweaked nerve in shoulder, soreness from pitching 4 innings of baseball, headache, a dog who scratched her ear to the point of bleeding, sunburn and probably more that I forgot to mention...

Here are a few pictures of my kit...

Used the Arnica for all kinds of aches, pains, inflammation, bumps and bruises...

Used the Calendula for a bad oven burn and washing wounds. Crisis Calm for settling nerves before and after a stressful event.

I felt really confident in my ability to treat each instance because of the easy-to-follow materials provided with the kit.

All the remedies in a convenient carrying case...

...that fits great in my purse!!

I did follow their recommendation to add a few items into the kit to have with me. I added cotton balls, tweezers, bandages, toothpick, syringe for irrigation, a couple essential oils (which Padeen explained to me that having the oils near the homeopathics was not the best way to store either of them - so, I took out my oils...benefits of asking the expert!)

I also looked into the price of the kit. You can purchase the entire kit at several local stores in Portland (such as Milagros Boutique) or you can order straight from their website www.naturokits.com. Their cost for the kit is $68...my thoughts went to what would this cost if I bought it separately. Well, I went to a local natural foods market and found the cost to be close to $90 if I bought it all separately (but, these remedies were not locally made and I question their quality compared to the Naturokit).

My overall impressions....on a scale of 1 to 5 (with 5 being the best) for an essential purchase, I would rate this one as a 5!

Thank you Padeen and Julie for creating this great product!
