Are any of you unhappy with your doctors or pediatricians? Do you think maybe you can take some control of your health and the health of your family by doing things a little more naturally?
Last year about this time, Val had an infected toe. Now I’m not talking about a little cut that was a tad oozy. I’m talking about her entire toe turning green! We went the pediatrician, who happened to be out of town, and we had to deal with his fill-in. She was not polite, she took a sample, told me the results would be in on Monday because of course it was a Friday, and even rudely asked me if I was going to breastfeed in front of her. Okay, I’m getting off of my soap box. She told me to just give Val some antibiotics and to be on our way.
Well, maybe she should have just told me this over the phone. I could’ve guessed that’s what she would have done. So we called our chiropractor – who we should have called first. He told us about a homemade salve to fight infection, we made it, and within a few days it was HEALING! Drastically! Without antibiotics that would change the healthy flora of her gut.
These things work, and I wanted this book because I wanted to make a stash of goodies to keep on hand in case of scrapes and even when Mama just needs a soak. In barely any time at all, I made three different soothers from Michele’s recipes to start my healing stash.
I bought some ingredients and containers from Rose Mountain Herbs and Tropical Traditions.
And this is what I made!

This was a glimpse at my porch this morning, and it’s still snowing and blowing.
