Here I'll keep an {always-growing} list of green alternatives and home remedies for common, not-so-common, and every day ailments, issues, and use.
Diaper Rash ----- Calendula Gel is the best, and sometimes I add Lavender essential oil to it.
Headaches ----- Peppermint essential oil, applied to back of neck, or temples, or I drink a drop in a glass of water.
Bug Bites or Stings ----- Homeopathic Remedy "Apis" and Lavender essential oil on the bite/sting.
The "wet sock treatment" aka "Grandma D's magic trick" --- for fevers. Get a pair of cotton socks soaked with room-temperature water. Wring them out real good and then put them on warm feet. Put dry wool socks on over those wet ones. Fever will be gone by morning. This is one of the {many} tricks that Ryan grew up having his mom do on him, and of course she has taught it to me. It has never failed us. If I'm still awake a few hours later I'll re-wet the socks for the Littles, but it isn't always necessary
*** I use doTERRA Essential oil because it's the purest, safest, and highest quality which I trust for use on and in my kids
A young family throwing themselves in to some new adventures. A mix of everything; raising egg laying chickens in a small suburban-ish house in Hawaii, a first attempt at composting, choosing natural alternatives to harmful chemical products, green medicine approaches, and trying to make success with MLM company doTERRA. Leading this circus is mommy Lyn, trying to go green.
