Sick Toddler

So, for the last week my baby girl hasn't been feeling well. She had a runny nose, a cough with phlegm, and a fever. Well after a few days with children Advil failing, the herbalist in me kicked my butt. 3 cups of peppermint and honey tea later, her coughing stopped and her fever went down. Following a friend's advice I rubbed some Vapor rub on the soles ore her feet then *poof* no more runny nose! Her sneezing lessened and soon she was running around wanting to go play. Today is day 2 of her feeling better and it looks like we kicked whatever bu she had. Peppermint tea with honey and vapor rub on feet!

Being sick and pregnant!

As if being tired and in pain wasn't bad enough i'm now sick! This sucks a big one since there are so many medication i can't take. Ive thought about taking infant tylenol lol but of course no medication without a doctors ok. However i can drink a tea made of peppermint, lemon and ginger which has helped a little so far! I just wish i was allowed to drink more than 2 cups a day! Haha wish me luck! <3

Back and other pregnancy pains

Pregnancy is taking its toll on my back. Laying on my back hurts on my right side makes me nauseous and hurts my lower back. Only relief is laying on my left side walking makes my hips and lower back hurt too! My legs have gotten heavy and sore. Luckily I have a loving man willing to massage peppermint oil on all my sore spots and boy does it help! It soothes me and relaxes all muscles, while fighting any inflammation I have.
