Natural Remedies Every Parent should know Essential Oils • Essential oils are extremely concentrated substances extracted from plants which are much more concentrated then dried herbs • This concentration is why it is recommended to dilute essential oils in a carrier oil • Essential oils are volatile substances which is the reason why they quickly evaporate in the air filling a room with their strong aroma • All essential oils are insoluble in water but can be combined with oils, butters, and even waxes. Aromatherapy • Aromatherapy is the practice of using essential oils to maintain wellness or as a remedy for an illness. • Traditional aromatherapists believe that the most effective way to use essential oils is for them to come in contact with the nasal passage – something that can only be done through inhalation. • Modern practices include other means of application including topical, therapeutic massage, and even internal usage (internal only under the care of a medical professional) How to use essential oils? • Inhalation is the most traditional use. An essential oil diffuser is the best way to achieve this. Inhalation is a very effective method for a common cold and congestion remedy • Topical use of essential oils is very useful in first aid, rashes, and even aiding in digestion. Essential oils should be diluted in a carrier oil or added to a salve for topical usage • Internal usage has been popularized in recent years but I do not recommend this unless you are doing it under the care of a trained medical professional What in the world is Quinton Isotonic? Natural Remedies Every Parent should know Quinton Marine Plasma A MUST HAVE!!! How to open Quinton Isotonic • Let’s watch Everything You Need to Know About Fevers Fever: Why It’s Important • Nobody likes it, but it Is your friend!!!!!!!! • Most important indicator of need for medical care is baby or child’s level of energy not the level of the fever… Fever: When do I Worry • Baby under six months of age or baby vomiting with a fever should be seen by a doctor • DEHYDRATION no urine output for over 8 hours!!!(daytime for older kids), dry cracked lips, no tears • Stiff neck or pain stiff neck • Watch for dehydration- decreased urine output, lethargic Fever: Conventional Treatments • Tylenol • Motrin Motrin is lesser of two “evils” but can cause stomach irritation and increase bleeding tendencies Let’s talk Tylenol Children’s Tylenol • Inactive ingredients in Cherry • Inactive ingredients in Grape • anhydrous citric acid, butylparaben, FD&C red no. 40, flavors, glycerin, high fructose corn syrup, microcrystalline cellulose and carboxymethylcellulose sodium, propylene glycol, purified water, sodium benzoate, sorbitol solution, sucralose, xanthan gum • anhydrous citric acid, butylparaben, D&C red no. 33, FD&C Blue no.1, flavors, glycerin, high fructose corn syrup, microcrystalline cellulose and carboxymethylcellulose sodium, propylene glycol, purified water, sodium benzoate, sorbitol solution, sucralose, xanthan gum Motrin/Ibuprofen/Advil Fever: Remedies Quinton Isotonic: 10 ml vial every 2 hours for two-three doses, mix in a little juice or water, take sips Coupled with other therapies proven amazingly effective in my own home!!!!

They often prefer to work alone. Teaches empathy and understanding of and patience with others. We’ve found it very fast-acting in alleviating an impatient attitude and lowering stress. Star of Bethlehem: For trauma and shock, whether experienced recently or in the past. Teaches the ability to recover from traumas and to integrate them into the present life. Cherry Plum: For those who fear losing control of their thoughts and actions and doing things they know are bad for them or which they consider wrong. Teaches trust in one’s spontaneous wisdom and the courage to follow one’s path. Rock Rose: For situations in which one experiences panic or terror. Clematis: For those who find their lives unhappy and withdraw into fantasy worlds. They are ungrounded and indifferent to the details of everyday life. Teaches one to establish a bridge between the physical world and the world of ideas; may foster great creativity. Is also used to bring clarity and alertness to the present moment.
