Holistic Solutions for Back to School Illness

By Tiffany 7 Comments

I have already seen a huge surge of parents on my Facebook feed talking about their kids being sick after only a few days or weeks back at school. Such is life. Kids go back to school, they make new friends, they meet their new teachers, and they come home with less than exciting new illnesses.

Choosing Calm with Geranium Essential Oil

By Tiffany 1 Comment

Geranium is one of those essential oils that kinda gets ignored. Whenever we think about using EOs for relaxation, balance, and calm we typically think about Lavender, Ylang Ylang, or Roman Chamomile. Geranium though does wonders for those looking to relax and seek some measure of calm in their otherwise hectically paced life. In centuries past people used to grow geranium plants around their homes to keep evil spirits away. We may not have to worry so much about evil spirits but maybe our own … [Read more...]

By Tiffany 5 Comments

If you’re a tea drinker, you may be wondering what to do with all those leftover tea bags. This has only recently become a concern in our house. Before we started brewing our own Kombucha (fermented tea) we were just occasional tea drinkers, maybe a cup of sleepy time tea all around once a week or so. My 12 year old would also make iced tea here and there. We just composted our tea bags. As the quantity grew though I decided we might find some other uses for them. Here are a few things you can … [Read more...]

As a parent, you are in charge of your child’s health. You don’t have to be a doctor or nurse to take charge of your child's health naturally. All you need to be is willing to learn and do it.

Soothing Illness Naturally

By Tiffany 1 Comment

This is part three of my All Better Naturally series. If your child is already sick what can you do to ease their discomfort and soothe them naturally? Quieting a Cough Throw out that chemical cocktail called cough syrup. My kids hate the stuff anyway. If your child is older then six months then try some essential oils or herbal teas. Expectorant herbs like thyme, eucalyptus, mint, licorice, and anise will help bring up mucus in a productive cough. For non productive coughs use slippery … [Read more...]
