Re: Healing Basket
Can Tea tree oil be put right on the skin? if not what concentration should you use as a disinfectant spray on boo boo's? Does anyone know if it stings? Or any other ideas for a non stinging cleaning spray to spray on cuts and scrapes? Thanks!

Re: Healing Basket
I have put straight tea tree on a burn..but for an open wound or diaper rash I would dilute it with olive oil or another carrier oil.

Re: Healing Basket
I just wanted to point out that if you child has seasonal allergies or allergies at all, you may want to exercise caution when using natural oils and products, the pollens are often found in these items which can cause a reaction in an allergic child.

For allergies, there is Herbs for Kids Eyebright and Nettle (I think). Also if your kids are over 1yrs, or you can take it if they aren't, but consuming raw local honey should help. The brand Simliasan has some good remedies. Another all around brand to look into is NatroBio. Stomach distress- I have found two things, Herbs for Kids Minty Ginger and St. Claires Tummy Soothers. This is a great topic, I have a fish tackle box full of herbal tinctures and homeopathic remedies but I love seeing how other people use them too! |

Re: Healing Basket
Tummy aches - I second the Herbs for Kids Minty Ginger , peperment tea, gripe water, papaya tablets (heart burn)
Fevers - lemons work well. I put cold lemon juice on a rag and apply to forhead, or for a little one, you can soak their socks in lemon juice.

Re: Healing Basket
not quite sure *how* it works, but the lemon helps bring the temp down. I got the idea out of my Smart Medicine for a Healthy Child book. I've also seen it done on the movie Lorenzo's Oil - their African nurse used it on him to reduce a fever. I used it on my DH one night when he had a real bad fever - seemed to really help
