I read this in a organic magazine (Greenwise) from my geocery store (Publix) and found it very interesting so I thought I would share it especially since cold and flu season will be here before you know it.
Natural remedies for soathing a child's aches and pains:
Stuffy nose? Pineapple works as a natural antihistamine!
Flu-related upset tummy, kids ages 2 + older can use ginger to calm the stomach or steep ginger in hot water with honey, cool before serving.
For head-aches make a cup of peppermint tea for kids (I would use caffine free) for kids 2 +.
I love natural remedies, especially using pineapple as a antihistamine!
Normally when my kids are sick I give them 1000 mg of vitamin C, elderberry and ACF.
What natural remedies do you use?
I make chicken stock. :)
ReplyDeleteI do chicken broth and the standard ole' lemon and honey for sore throat! I'm starting to use aromatherapy for stuff too, but I'm pretty new at it!
