Front Porch Ponderings

I have heard so much about this oil and thought I would finally try it. My excuse to finally get it was I found a great little homemade recipe online for diaper rash (or prevention of) using Aloe, tea tree oil, etc. (I will post this recipe later). So since I will be switching to cloth diapers soon and wanted to also switch to a more natural diaper wipe (using the recipe I found in a spray bottle to a dry wash cloth makes a good "diaper wipe") I went ahead and ordered from my favorite little website http://www.vitacost.com/ and my items just came in a couple of days ago. **Even though I purchased mine online (I bought other items too) you can find this in lots of stores now including your local health food store.

Well my baby boy woke up with a cold, poor thing. He's 16 months old and usually so full of energy and in to everything but today he is just kinda moping around. I have been treating him with Liquid Light 1/2 tsp. Yummy Yarrow with Elderberry and 1/4 tsp. of Echinacea & Thyme with Elderberry. We really prefer to use herbs if at all possible in our family and we are slowly trying to transition away from pharmaceuticals. If you would like more info on the Liquid Light brand you can visit here . Instead of a Medicine cabinet I have an Herb cabinet of which I go to first. Currently these are the products we have and highly recommend: Echinacea & Thyme with Elderberry Lungs Plus Peace Treaty ViraMune White Willow & Feverfew (I use this for me) Wild Cherry Coffaway Yummy Yarrow with Elderberry I plan to purchase in the near future: AL-R-G 8 oz.
