2. Aloe-vera plant
Everyone should try as much as possible to have this planted around their houses or have it readily available. The benefit of this thorny plant can never be overestimated, from its application for the treatment of facial spots and pimples to its health use, aloe-vera will remain useful for as long as possible.
This plant could be used as first aid treatment in cases of burns and scalds. The gel from the plant could be applied on burns and scalds in cases where you poured hot water on yourself. The healing effect of this plant would make the burns heal well and leave as little marks as possible.
3. Baking powder
Now do not go on frowning and wondering what this would do for you if there is an emergency when you do not bake cakes. Baking powder is gotten from sodium bicarbonate and of course it has many uses. But having this in the house means you could use it for ulcer patients who are experiencing pains.
It interacts with acids by neutralizing it. An ulcer patient would be relieved after taking one or two teaspoons with water.
It could also be used to relief pains from bug bites and scorpions till you are able to get to the nearest hospital.
