Re: Healing Basket
these are lovely ways to pamper ourselves and improve our health and moods at the same time.
Some products just make you think you are pampering yourself but they pack a mean backfire sometimes thank you for taking the time to post these Karmen |

Re: Healing Basket
Thanks! This is a great summary for someone (like me) just starting to build a natural medicine cabinet.
Can we add some things for high fevers (my ds has been above 105 when he had the flu.. Tylenol and Advil only brought it down for an hour max) ? And also stomach distress (I have some gripe water from the herb store... ) And.. severe teething pain that keeps them up at night.. another time Tylenol is traditionally reccommended... or something for a teething child who is not interested in holding/chewing something. ?? As I've started easing into natural rememdies, I find that the fever/pain situations send me back to my "old ways" b/c nothing else seems to help.. ?? Are there natural remedies for allergies? An alternative to Benedryl? just curious. We will always keep antihistamines on hand b/c ds has at least one life-threatening allergy, but I'm thinking of the running, snotty, sneezy, itchy eyes brand that is just annoying and makes it hard to sleep. I'll add more questions if I think of them. |

Re: Healing Basket
Quote:
Stomach distress...maybe chamomile tea? peppermint tea?(just guessing there) For my allergies this year, I have tried a drugstore-purchased herbal tablet that I would take each day, and I am currently using a homeopathic remedy that you take in drops when the symptoms start. I think the tablets actually worked better, but they are more expensive. And they didn't have the tablets in kid-friendly form, where the drops you just use less drops for kids.

Re: Healing Basket
I know the overtired & cranky spritz I use in the air. I think you do that with both.
