HEALTH TIP
Keep your pH as High as Possible this Cold and Flu Season |
||||||
|
||||||
|
When you start to feel a little “off” this cold and flu season, remember your pH balance and work to keep it as high as possible. One way to quickly increase your pH is to have what some affectionately call “The Brew” while others call it “Honey Punch” or “HVC”. Mix 1-2T of honey and 1-2T of apple cider vinegar into 12 ounces of warm water. Add enough cayenne tincture to make it warm and spicy. This is a fantastic way to elevate your pH and increase your circulation at the same time. |

Using Natural Baby Products by Krista Carter

When it comes to taking care of yourself and your children, I believe the only way to go, is to use the closest to natural products that you can. What you put on your body, is every bit as important as what you put in your body. Many, many products out there have ingredients that are just plain not safe to put on an adults skin, let alone a babies delicate little body. To check any of the products in your home for ingredient safety, click here |

Laundering.....
How you wash your clothes and diapers is also very important. You want to make sure you choose a natural clean rinsing detergent that isn't going to cause skin reactions. This is very important for all skin, but especially important to babies skin. The reason your clothes smell like the detergent when they are done washing, is because there is still detergent in your clothes. NEVER use dryer sheets as they are toxic. I don't use anything in my dryer as I have found I don't need to with the natural detergent I use. If you do find you have a problem, use wool dryer balls instead of dryer sheets. |

|
Bathing.....
Most commercially produced soaps and shampoos contain synthetic lathering agents, artificial colors, and a slew of chemicals that you probably can't even pronounce. Always remember that your skin is porous and absorbent. It absorbs whatever it comes in contact with, much the same as sticking something in your mouth. Chronic use of chemical-laden products will cause the body to store the chemicals in the body fat or even in the brain. With enough accumulations of toxins in the body, illness can occur. You can find many healthy soaps and shampoos for your baby, in liquid or bar form. You can also make your own. With a base of castile soap, you can make your own shampoo, hand, and body soaps. Another thing to think about is making sure you have soft water or you have filters on your baths and showers, as there are many chemicals that come from water that your body absorbs. |

Cradle Cap
2 tbsp. almond oil 1 drop lemon essential oil 1 drop geranium essential oil 1 drop cedarwood essential oil (optional) 1 drop of sandalwood essential oil (optional) Apply to the scalp of babies with cradle cap. Rub vigorously but gently and leave in for a few minutes before rinsing. |

Lotions/Body Butters....
When you use natural soaps, you will soon notice that there really isn't a huge need for extra moisturizing. Many commercial lotions also are not good for your skin or your body. You can buy many healthy lotions for your babies skin. You can also make your own body butter using many different oils and butters. I like using coconut oil, shea butter, cocoa butter, avocado oil, jojoba oil, olive oil. A little body butter goes a long way. You can also use a body butter or carrier oil, my favorite is coconut, and just put a couple of drops of LeBaby Me or Lavender if your baby is fussy, and massage into your babies' skin. You can also put 2-3 drops in their bath etc. Make sure they can't rub it in their eyes. One of my kids' favorite things, is after they take their shower or bath at night, I come to their beds, and use an essential oil that I feel they need, usually on their feet. It's a great way to connect with your child or baby...they love the massage! You can use natural body butter or favorite carrier oil. |

|
Teeth....
I don't use any toothpaste on my babies. Just brushing their teeth and getting them ready to brush their own is what I choose to do. If you want to use a toothpaste, use a little food grade coconut oil. For teething babies... (1 drop of clove oil to one teaspoon of almond oil or glycerin). Test on your own mouth first to make sure it’s not too strong, then rub it on baby’s gums. Using your finger to massage the pain while applying the oil will be a relief for baby. Do not use the clove oil remedy in excess. |
