Im looking for a list of every day first aid supplies that can be found in the kitchen?

such as vinegar for burns, epsom salt for bruses..

that type of thing

Most common first aid problems are best dealt with using soap and clean water, and simple bandaging materials.

A lot of home remedies, like vinegar for burns, do not really do much more than soap and water does- and many cause more problems then they solve. This is a common problem in a lot of ‘home remedies’ lists.

Having said that, there are some things that work…
- Baking soda. As a paste, it eases itching. In bathwater, it soothes skin, it can be used for dozens of other uses as well.
- Corn starch dabbed on a small wound or scrape can stop the bleeding.
- Payayan (spelling?) based meat tenderizer can stop the pain of most stings, and ammonia stops most others

    2. Cayenne pepper — stops bleeding inside the body and out.

    Also the skin of an onion (the inside skin thats thin and clear and in between every layer of onion) can help stop bleeding.

    So can cobwebs.
