All Natural Remedies for Children and Adults

Over the years I've collected a few amazing remedies that can treat a variety of illness. They work pretty good for adults and children. As parents we always want the best for our kids and while a lot of over the counter medicine is not approved for children under the age of 2, we as parents are left to search the internet and deal with sleepless nights trying to figure out how to calm a fussy child. After many doctor appointments over the years that would often times get me no where, I've developed my list of remedies with ingredients that are usually found in my home already. below you will find 3 natural remedies that will get rid of the common ear infection that kids tend to get, soar throat, and an extreme upset stomach.

1. Ear Infection: that awful moment when you child is crying and screaming and you have no idea what's wrong with them. many ear infections go without notice however most children will cry, fuss, and pull at their ears in pain. here is a quick remedy that has worked many times for me and the girls.
one cotton ball soaked in apple cider vinegar and a little water, turn over with the problem ear facing upward, let the wet cotton ball sit in the opening of the ear (like a plug) for 1-2 mins, turn over and drain. however many small kids will not sit still during this time, and if that's the case then you can hold them down with the problem ear facing upward, wring out the wet cotton ball allowing the liquid to travel directly into the ear cannel, turn them over and let it drain. however if you do it the second way then I would advice you to repeat this process twice.

2. Stomach ache: blueberries are magical!!! really they are. I don't like them but the only time I will eat them is when I have a horrible stomach ache. summer loves blueberries and with her kidney issues we are limited to the kind of medicine she is allowed to have. recently she had a really bad stomach ache and this blueberry smoothie cured her pain within 30 minutes. 80% blueberries (fresh or frozen), 10% yogurt ( I typically use vanilla ), 10% water or ice. blend until smooth, pour the desired amount into a cup and drink within 10 minutes. you will feel like a new person. no sign of horrible stomach pains or diarrhea.

3. Soar Throat: most kids don't like hot water with lemon....however....if you add honey then the sweetness will definitely make them more prone to drink it. HOWEVER,  please keep in mind that children under 12 months should not consume honey.
