daily actions toward becoming better prepared for societal collapse

In the process of writing a post about baking essentials, I came across a
lot of information on the medicinal uses of cream of tartar. I was
just a little too intrigued to not pursue this further. Especially
after writing about cream of tartar and baking powder and wishing that
perhaps I hadn’t gotten so much cream of tartar. But now I’m thinking I
might want a little more.
High blood pressure. 1/2 teaspoon cream of tartar and 1/2
teaspoon lemon juice in one cup (eight ounces) of water. Take one to
three times per day. This is only for high blood pressure due to a
potassium deficiency.
Urinary tract infection. At the first sign of an infection, take
1/2 teaspoon (either directly on the tongue or in two size 0 capsules)
cream of tartar with 8 ounces of water and a few drops of lemon juice.
Use twice daily before meals for best results. To prevent re-infection,
use a half-strength dose once per day.
Bacterial infection. As an adjunct to antibiotic treatments, mix
1/2 teaspoon in 1 cup lukewarm water. Stir well and drink. Cream of
tartar helps restore the body to its normal pH range and make antibiotic
treatment more effective.
Edema. Also known as dropsy, edema causes redness and swelling
of tissues and may affect different parts of the body due to general
dehydration or obstruction of the urinary tract. Increasing potassium
intake helps reduce edema. It is a natural diuretic. Mix 1/2 teaspoon
cream of tartar in one cup of lukewarm water. Take this once or twice
per day to reduce edema.
Smoking cessation. There are lots of anecdotal reports online of
using cream of tartar and fresh orange juice (never from concentrate,
but no one says why) to aid in quitting smoking. Unfortunately, fresh
orange juice (or any orange juice, for that matter) may be difficult to
come by post-collapse, but if you’re lucky enough to live in a warm
climate, this may be of benefit to you or someone you know. Mix one
teaspoon cream of tartar in a glass of fresh orange juice every night
before bed for one month. Good luck!
Constipation. The trace amounts of magnesium in cream of tartar
help regulate bowel movements. Take two teaspoons of cream of tartar in
a glass of lukewarm water at bedtime to relieve constipation overnight.
Caution. Excessive or long-term use of cream of tartar may lead
to hyperkalemia (excessive potassium in the blood), dehydration, and/or
diarrhea.

I have a loved one who struggles with smoking. Had never come across your information. Reading up on was insightful. Thanks Jennifer!
