Did you know that a teaspoon of honey (raw is best) and a 1/4 teaspoon of cinnamon will usually knock out a cold within a day or two? Take twice a day for 3 days for best results.
7 Home Remedies to try when your kids are out of sorts. Now by “out of sorts,” I mean sick, not just crabby!
#1. Diarrhea
I swear by the B.R.A.T. diet.
It stands for-
Bananas
Rice
Applesauce
&
Toast
( The toast needs to be white)
#2. Constipation
If you can get your kid to eat it, BLACK LICORICE will cure their constipation nine times out of ten!
I’m not kidding. I swear it works better than anything out there!
#3. Burns
Did you know that the baking soda volcano every kid wants to make for their science project is actually useful?
The chemical reaction between baking soda and vinegar creates a cooling effect that will soothe your child’s minor burns.
It works great if they touch hot pans. Just pour equal amounts of the ingredients into a bowl to bathe your child’s hand till the burning stops.
You can keep adding each ingredient intermittently to activate the bubbles.
#4. Ear infections
These are being treated less and less these days with antibiotics, but that doesn’t mean they aren’t painful.
I like to use a hot pack big enough so they can lay their head down to relieve the “ache”!
