I asked Boaz about this and he said right now I am already on the ones he would recommend.  I'm on RP, Ear, GML and Golden.  I would ask him though Alanna because you also have small children.  There might be some others he recommends for you.

There are a couple of old posts which might help

I have been asked so many times, and I keep promising that I am going to do this. I am going to give a list of suggestions for remedies to have at home in your medicine/HERB cabinet in case anyone in the famiy gets sick. BTW, our shopping cart will be ready super soon and all of these will be available:) For those of you who are my patients, most of you are familiar with how to use these. They should not be taken without some professional guidance or previous experience. The uses I am listing here are only to give a rough idea of what they are used for. Their combinations and doses change things. So, I am not listing them here as medical advice.
1) Pill Curing-General use includes food poisoning, stomach flu, and general ACUTE stomach distress such as nausea.
2) Gan Mao Ling-General use is as a first line of defense cold remedy
3) Zhong Gan Ling- For a cold that has more pronouned signs of what we refer to as Heat in Chinese medicine. I use BOMAMED's and Plum flower both at different times depedning on the situation.
4)Fromula 48- BOMAMED's special formula used in combo with the above for sinus and head fullness
5) Formula 49- BOMAMED's special formula also used in conjunction with the above for sinus and head fullness issues
6)Ear Formula- A BOMAMED formula. This formula is used in combo with some of the above to act as a very strong antibiotic type formula for various kinds of viral and bacterial infections.
7) Ba Zheng San, Dianthus Formula- For ACUTE UTI NOT IC!
8) Chuan Xin Lian- Used with 7) for UTI in stronger infections
These are formulas that I personally always have at home in addition to goldenseal and oil of oregano. Because with this group of items one can combine and recombine in many ways to fight pretty much any acute thing that comes up until you can get more help OR, it could just take care of it completely. As you become a patient for a longer period, we try and teach and guide you how to use these things to best help you and your family so that you become more knowledgable about your family's healthcare and the laternatives that are available to you in trying to avoid antibiotics and other kinds of medications. OF course we can't teach you how to do everything, but being able to treat the common things that come up often helps empower you tremendously and gives a great breadth of knowledge in alternative healthcare.

pharmacy list I gave several posts ago are general and for many different types of infections-viral or bacterial. However, added to that list-just in case, would be dianthus formula and chuan xin lian.

I will use a different combination of things in the event of UTI and nearly never have to have a patient resort to antibiotics for this, but, having all of the various things on hand at the onset of this can be critical to not loose the precious hours that one needs to get the bacteria moving in the better direction.

So best to have on hand, ear formula gan mao ling #2, goldenseal, dianthus formula and chuan xin lian.

New Post:

If you wake up in the middle of the night with a UTI, take 2 ear 2 GML #2 and one goldenseal--stop the rest of your herbs immediately and contact me in the morning. This combination is generally necessary to take 4 times per day for about one week's time.

9 out of 10 times this combo will be enough, although sometimes dianthus formula and or chuan xin lian are important to have.

Getting caught off guard without the proper herbs on hand can mean going to the ER and taking antibiotics, which, may be avoided otherwise. I strongly suggest having them on hand. I personally am never out of herbs in my home. I always have these emergency herbs on hand, these and the others I have mentioned in previous posts. This way no time is lost, as one may not have a lot of time with infections, which multiply quickly once they have taken hold of your body.
