Let's Get Prepared
These are the tried-and-true staples that live in my crunchy mama toolbox—simple, effective, and natural.
Whether it’s a case of the sniffles, tummy troubles, or just an “off” day, this is the exact protocol I reach for first:
- put essential oils on them topically & fill my diffuser with essential oils
- give them a few droppers of colloidal silver a few times a day
- follow the directions on the label for Oscillococcinum
- give them an Epsom salt bath
- if it's tummy related, give them a capsule or two of activated charcoal
In my 12+ years of parenting, following that protocol along with a holistic lifestyle, I've been able to nip just about everything that comes our way in the bud quickly and effectively!
