Top 5 Natural Health Remedies for Kids

Honey

Honey seems to make everything better. From sore throats to upset bellies, honey seems to be a fantastic natural health remedy for kids.

Give a half-teaspoon of honey to children ages 2 to 5; 1 teaspoon to children ages 6 to 11; and 2 teaspoons to those 12 and older. Do not give honey to babies younger than 1 because of the risk of botulism. *recommendations from the American Academy of Pediatrics

Coconut Oil

I once heard that you should never put anything on your skin that you wouldn’t put in your mouth. This is the same for my children! When it comes to creams, ointments and pretty much everything… I reach for coconut oil! Not only is it chemical free but it is full of antioxidant, antibacterial, and anti-inflammatory properties. Perfect for cleaning newborns, baby massages, and diaper rashes. It’s no wonder that Maty’s Healthy Products use coconut oil as a base ingredient in many of their products!

Lavender

Lavender has been used for over 2,000 years for a variety of natural remedies. While lavender has many uses, its main use is its medicinal ability to aid in the body’s natural ability to heal itself. It is great for cuts, bruises, and even fevers. Lavender gets its claim to fame in many night time natural remedies because of its calming and soothing effects on children.

Chamomile

Remember grandma’s tea? It is no surprise that she made you that cup of tea when you didn’t feel your best. Chamomile tea has been known for ages to soothe and calm, making it great for relaxation and sleep. In addition, Chamomile is great for teething, anxiety and restlessness. You can see why this is a great ingredient to add to many natural health products, such as Maty’s.

Apple Cider Vinegar

Apple Cider Vinegar is known as the “wonder drug” in the natural world. Apple cider vinegar offers a variety of nutrients that your child can benefit from. It contains vitamin A, C, B6 and more than a dozen minerals, which help kids fight the infections and diseases. While strengthening the immune system, it also is fantastic for preventing and treating the common cold.

5 More Natural Health Remedies for Kids

Frozen Fruit Juice Popsicles

I know it might sound silly. However, homemade popsicles are an excellent way to soothe a child’s sore throat or symptoms related to a fever. Choosing a fruit juice that is high in antioxidants will increase the effectiveness of this natural health remedy.

Lemon

Mixed with a tad bit of honey, this is the perfect ingredient to soothe an upset tummy or a sore throat. In addition, this is perfect for cleaning surfaces and killing bacteria to prevent winter ickies.

Breast Milk

Nature’s immune booster. Breast milk is perfect for boosting a child’s immune system at any age so that they can be protected from colds, ear infections, and other germs they might get exposed to.

Baking Soda

Baking soda is amazing for cleaning and deodorizing anything related to children! This means you can use this natural health remedy to clean your child’s toys, deodorize a diaper pail and even get rid of cradle cap.

Cucumber

I am sure if you have ever been to a spa you have been subjected to cucumbers in your water or cucumbers on your skin! The reason is simple! Cucumbers are fantastic for soothing puffiness and reducing swelling. So the next time your little one bumps his knee, throw a cucumber on it!

The Power of Natural Health Remedies for Kids

Just under 20 years ago, a little girl by the name of Maty was born with multiple heart defects. In addition, she was born without a spleen, her stomach was on the opposite side of her body, and her liver was midline. Needless to say , this left her mother desperate to help her any way she could.

Her mother, Carolyn, devoted her time to researching natural ways to help her daughter. After she put the kids to bed, she would stay up late into the night to do her research. She attended workshops and classes on natural healing techniques.

During her research on natural ways to heal, she learned about detoxing, nutrition, and how emotions play such an important part of our overall health. She learned energy healing techniques, muscle testing, trained with Kinesiologists and even got certified as a holistic health practitioner.

Her first remedy was a super immune booster to take at the first sign of a cold or flu. Today, it’s marketed as an all natural cough syrup with ten powerful immune boosting ingredients.

After seeing what these new remedies did for her family and friends, she thought it would be wonderful if others could benefit from them too. Today, she is the founder of Maty’s Healthy Products, and her products are available in over 30,000 retail locations in the USA.

She refers to her products as natural remedies in a bottle. She’s spent years selecting just the right combination of ingredients that contain potent healing properties. So, if you are a busy mom and don’t have the time to make your own, she’s done the work for you.

Today, the company offers an array of health products including:

• Organic Cough Syrup (only organic cough syrup available nationwide)
