Managing Sickness In The Wells House

All Of My Go To Items On Hand for Sickness In A Home With Littles

None of this is medical information, just merely crunchy mom to crunchy mom - this is also an interactive blog, all items or recipes are linked and underlined.

1. Detox Epsom Salts

   Rowe Casa has my favorite and you can use code MEGS20 to get 20% off your first order.

   
   

2. Dr. Green Mom Tinctures

   Our staples are Bronchial Calm, Tumm Ease, Nature Profen, and Please Sleep (for when we're traveling!)

3. All Natural Heat Packs

   I have used these for myself for over 5 years now. My kiddos love them when they're feeling under the weather. Made with cotton, rice, vintage fabric, vintage linen, and synthetic free - these beat plug in heat packs all day. Use code BABY15 for 15% off.

4. Elderberry

   My one stop shop for all things elderberry and honey. My husband also really enjoys their teas. Use code MEGS20 for 20% off.

5. Fruit + Veggie Gummies

   My kids take these daily in the morning with breakfast. They trump any run of the mill daily vitamin for kids. Just whole food fruit and veggies and all of their benefits as the good Lord made them.

6. Bee Propolis

   This spray makes it so easy for my kiddos to receive all of the benefits of bee propolis. Known for its antimicrobial, anti-inflammatory, and antioxidant properties. They have an adult and a kid version.

   
   

7. Oscillococcinum

   Homeopathic relief for flu like symptoms. A staple in our medicine cabinet.

8. Dye Free Genexa Acetaminophen

   If push comes to shove and your poor baby is too uncomfortable to get the rest their bodies need, I feel best using this Motrin.

9. Coconut Water

   A STAPLE in our home and I always mix it 50/50 with their Orange Juice in the morning, but I especially make sure they're drinking coconut water when feeling under the weather.

   
   

10. Echinacea

    A flowering plant native to the USA and known for its support towards the immune system, especially in the fight against colds and upper respiratory infections.

    
    

11. Thermometer

    Our go to thermometer that I find easiest with littles.

    
    

12. Magnesium Cream

    A local to Auburn AL, small family business has my absolute favorite magnesium cream for restless legs and growing pain in children. Works instantly - we use it on Carrie for her growing pains in her legs often. Use code megs_wells for 15% off.

    
    

13. Essential Oil Diffuser

    I've linked my favorite one of ours (we have a handful) but you can also find them at places like Target, Amazon, and TJMaxx.

    
    

14. Essential Oils

    The on hand ones that we have are: Peppermint, Lemon, Tea Tree, Eucalyptus, Lavender, and Copaiba (a topical friendly one comes in handy when your little one is teething, apply a couple drops to your finger and massage their gum/tooth area).

    
    

15. Holy Water

    I feel like this one explains itself. It should always be a part of a medicine cabinet in a Catholic home.
