Herbs Needed For Survival

A lot is going on in the world right now: earthquakes in diverse places, diseases, famine, you name it. Pretty much the checklist of everything Scripture says the end of the world will be. If you know, you know. There's no need to get scared; get prepared. Preparedness is the best route. 

This brings to mind a thought: "What type of herbs would one need to prepare for the end of the world?"

Places you can buy them / find them 

Get Out In Nature 

Go "source" your own. Use AI if possible to search, then get out in nature to see what you find. Tabernacles is a great time to check the woodlands you may be in and see what they have to offer.  Usnea, for example (commonly known as old man's beard), is said to grow worldwide on the bark of trees and branches in temperate and tropical forests. You can also search "Where to find (enter specific herb) in (Enter your state/city). For example, Golden seal is available in Georgia. 

Research Popular Herb Dealers: 

If you need a prompt, you can type: "Where to buy herbs safely?" Here are two that came up with a quick search and that were also mentioned in Abril's reel.  

Mountain Rose Herbs

Starwest Botanicals  

Network with Friends/Family: 

I have this saying: "Connection is better than currency," and it's true. Connection will get you far in many ways on many levels. Don't be afraid to connect with your inner circle or community to see what they have growing in their backyard or what's around you. 

If a wilderness emergency comes up, it may be good to have some or all of these herbs. 

Which methods will you use to source your herbs and boost your prep journey?
