Writing a guide. What would you want to see in a Natural Remedy Guide?

By NymphaeaAromatherapy

My husband and I opened an eBay store selling Eco Friendly products, natural remedies for health conditions, essential oils, and detox bath salts. I am in the process of writing a guide about Natural Remedies. I am stuck, I would like to know what others would like to read in a guide about Natural Remedies. Let me know what you would want to know.
Thanks

If you want to market these items better, cite sources that support the claims of these products–why are they “eco friendly” or what studies suggest that the remedies actually work.

A lot of us are skeptical about such things–just because you “say” something is a remedy doesn’t mean it’s true. Be careful to not set yourself up for lawsuits if you make claims about natural remedies that you cannot substantiate.

And I’m stating that as a skeptic who DOES mostly use household products and personal care items with the least chemicals, but I study and compare products before I choose. I don’t blindly trust the claims on the product labels or in the ads.

Cold sore remedies would be very helpful, like Lysine, Oil of Oregano, etc.

You could just list general concerns (in terms that the FDA doesn’t have issues with) and what herbs can help those concerns.
For example, have a “joint health” topic and include Glucosamine, Chondroitin, MSM, Hyaluronic Acid, Microlactin, etc, etc. Don’t make claims about Arthritis, inflammation, or other joint problems.

I would suggest several general categories for major concerns like that. You may want to use a catalog or order guide from an herb/vitamin company, as they typically have acceptable language and have their products categorized. However, on the flip side, if eBay or (by some bad turn of luck) the FDA wants you to verify what you’re saying in the guide, you may have trouble if you don’t have access to the proof those companies would have…. but that’s not likely to happen, honestly.
Just make sure you verify the facts you’re putting into the guide and you should be fine. LMK if you have any other questions on this
