It is always good to carry a little first aid kit in your backpack, diaper bag or purse for those situations in which you are not home but need your natural solutions.
Here are 6 things that I feel you should always have on you (there are plenty more that could be used as well):
1. Nux Vomica
2. Apis
3. Lavender Essential Oil
4. Colloidal Silver Spray
5. Bandages
6. Arnica (oral or gel)
Nux Vomica- is a homeopathic remedy made from the seeds of an evergreen tree. It works quickly and efficiently for stomach related illnesses; nausea, vomiting, motion sickness, food poisoning. When kids decide to get sick, there is no knowing when it is going to happen. Putting a pellet in their mouth at the start of symptoms works quickly and stops symptoms in their tracks. I have used this remedy on a handful of occasions and always comes in handy.
Apis mellifica- is a homeopathic and is prepared from the Western or European honey bee. This remedy has several uses, but it’s my favorite to recommend for bug bites and bee stings. It works well to bring down edema and help with itching. Even with poison ivy and contact dermatitis or hives, Apis comes in handy.
Lavender Oil– Lavender is a MUST have! Applying lavender to a bug bite or bee sting right after it happened with help with the itching and burning/pain sensation. Sunburn? Apply lavender! Scrape? Apply lavender! Having a meltdown? APPLY LAVENDER!! Are you catching on? Lavender has so many medicinal properties and can help with several different ailments. Conveniently, make a roller ball already diluted with fractioned coconut oil.
Colloidal Silver Spray– You may be thinking, what do I need Colloidal Silver spray for? This is another great remedy for sunburn. It also is a quick “clean and rinse” of a fresh knee scrape that your kiddo got while running at the park. It is natural antimicrobial and will help to keep all the bad germs out without hurting the skin tissue.
Bandages– This is a no brainer!!! But check these out!!! Natural Bandages! Organic and Natural! Talk about cool.
Arnica Montana– is a homeopathic and is perhaps the best-known homeopathic remedy for injuries and bruising to soft tissues. From sprains, strains, bumps and bruises, this is a great go to. It also helps wonderfully with pain!
We are new patients here and had a wonderful first experience. Everyone in the office was so kind and friendly. Valerie was amazing with our daughter, very helpful and genuine in fielding all of our questions, and provided us with great resources. I am grateful for their whole child approach. So happy to have found this pediatric team!
This place has been a blessing to my family. We come from Aurora and don’t mind the drive. The whole staff and the DR are very knowledgeable and helpful. This is our first baby and in great hands.
Absolutely Love this place! The staff here is amazing! They’re very thorough and it’s obvious that they care about your little ones. Happy we found them!
Jessica, since we started seeing you I loved how you’ve always fought for our daughter’s. You’ve seen us thru some scary times but ALWAYS place our daughter’s first and that’s why when you moved we decided to follow you. You’re awesome and my daughter’s don’t trust anyone else but you. Continue doing you Jessica, you’re awesome!
I recently moved here from out of state and have been having a very hard time finding providers in the area for my kids. After a long search, I found Well Rooted and am so happy I did. Excellent providers who truly care, who listen to the parents and child and are very knowledgeable. It is worth the drive and the cost.
