Arnica

Over 10 years ago we learned about Arnica Gel.  As our first little boy was learning to crawl and getting many bumps and bruises, Arnica was a wonderful option . 

Arnica reduces pain and swelling as well as discoloration from bruising.  Over the years we have been amazed at how much this has helped with the diminishing of size and color of the bumps/bruises our children have acquired.

Arnica is helpful in:  bruises, falls, blows, black eyes, sore muscles...

Just this past month we used the Arnica gel and tablets for a door slammed on little fingers, two of our kiddos hit heads and our littlest one fell rather severely.  We probably used it more than this, but this is what comes to mind. 

We keep Arnica gel on hand and also the homeopathic tablets.  We have given them to our babies when very young and continue to use it on our children as they get older.

Arnica Gel and tablets can be found at many health food stores and also the health food section at Cash Wise.  The brand we buy:  Boiron Arnica Gel and Hyland's Arnica tablets  

Happy Arnica!

Earth Clinic

I have learned there are many foods we can eat to help with physical ailments.  God made so many good things with many nutrients already contained in them! 

When I was low in iron when pregnant, I had taken a large iron pill.  It was hard on my stomach and I really didn't like to take it.  What I learned was that
black strap molasses is full of iron!  So with my last 3 pregnancies, I took molasses instead and it gave me almost immediate energy (within 20 minutes or so). 

A resource I would like to share with you is called:  Earthclinic.com

I don't follow everything on there, but I use it as a guide like I would a health book.  Some things I have tried, and some things I will never try.  Take a peek and if you have any ailments-check out what people around the world use to help their ailments, you may be happily surprised...

Happy Health!!!
