What should always be in the car in case of an emergency

First aid kit should always be at hand for everyone, especially drivers. You never know what’s going to happen and it’s important to have a medicine cabinet with you. It could save someone's life. What to say about the roads, where every day there are dozens of accidents. In case of a car breakdown, you also need to have a number of things that are necessary on the road to maintain your vitality.



An emergency situation may not occur, but it is better to be safe. Especially for travelers it will be useful to know what can be useful on the road. A small box in the car will not take up much space. It can be a bag or a backpack, as you like. What matters is what's inside. Aside from medication, you'll need a couple of things. Don't forget about hygiene, so here's the list.

1. Gauze, bandages, sterile wipes. Send disposable gloves, patches, scissors, pins.
2. Sunscreen, wet wipes, toothbrush and paste, hand soap, antiseptic. From essential oils, you can make an insect repellent, and coconut oil well nourishes the skin.
   
   
   
   
3. Medications: activated charcoal, probiotics, painkillers. Vitamin C fights viruses, honey helps with low blood glucose, sea salt prevents dehydration if it is slightly added to drinking water.
   
   
   
   

Model several situations that can happen while you are on the road. This will give you an idea of why you need all these things in the trunk. It’s better to sacrifice a seat in the trunk than your own health, so take note of another list of important things.

1. Changing clothes will save you from colds and hypothermia. Socks, underwear, sweater, pants, mittens, hat. A raincoat or umbrella will always be useful.
2. Not superfluous will be a flashlight, tape, matches or lighter, glowing sticks, rope. 1951
   
   
   
   
3. Always keep important phone numbers with you, it is good to have a spare phone with emergency numbers if something happens to the main one.
4. Knife, pen, garbage bags, toilet paper, phone charging, whistle, pen, water purification tablets.
   
   
   
   

You should always have a bottle of drinking water and a minimum supply of non-perishable food. I also want to talk about the benefits of essential oils, which can replace half the first aid kit.

1. Peppermint essential oil helps with headaches and muscle pain. Repels insects, reduces nausea.
2. Lavender oil reduces itching, soothes the skin and mind.
3. Tea tree essential oil has antiseptic properties. It helps with rashes, can be used instead of an antiseptic.
   
   
   
   

Essential oils before applying to the skin must be diluted with a neutral oil. Before using, make sure you are not allergic to them. I hope you learned something useful from this article. As you can see, a first aid kit is not the only thing that saves lives. First of all, you need to have it on hand. Take care of yourself, never panic and always keep your first aid kit with you.
