Ep 92 | Cuts, burns, bug bites, rashes—most of us have a different product for every problem in our medicine cabinet. But what if natural first aid worked better with fewer, more versatile solutions?
In this episode of Homes That Heal, Jen sits down with Jodi Scott, co-founder of Green Goo, to talk about natural first aid, plant-based remedies, and why simplifying your first aid kit can support the body’s natural healing process.
Jodi shares how a moment during pregnancy—reading the ingredient label on a common first aid product—sparked a deeper search for herbal remedies and plant-based alternatives for everyday skin care. What began as herbs growing on a family farm eventually became Green Goo, a company focused on simple, multi-use products designed to support cuts, burns, bug bites, and other everyday skin concerns.
If you’ve ever opened your medicine cabinet and felt overwhelmed by expired tubes, complicated ingredients, or products that only solve one small problem, this conversation offers a refreshing perspective on simplifying your first aid kit and working with your body’s natural defenses.
