My kid woke up sick...

So, I'm the mom that will use a home remedy faster than I'll take my kids to the doctor, though please, please understand that when the remedies do not work they're hinnies are at the doctors office ready for something that will help them. They have all their shots and have a yearly visit as well, but I feel that people turn to a made product more than a natural and I want my kids to build better immune systems and learn to fight off sickness on their own, well their immune system's own.

And I mean the common cold has no medicine a doctor can provide so the best thing in that case is to find a remedy and stick to it to help not only your kids but when its your turn to have "the sickness" it will help you as well!

Now, I will share a recipe for stuffy, clogged noses -- which is not small kid friendly, unless you kid likes heat..

And I will also share a bedtime remedy which has cleared up cough in a little as two nights.



First, this is a spicy baby called "Tomato Tea"

Where in you make one glass at a time or double for two in case you and your other half usually end up sick at the same time, I know my husband and I usually do.

1 Cup tomato juice (any kind, just don't choose clamato like Jordan did one time because its gross!)
1 teaspoon hot sauce (if you don't have hot sauce but have jalapenos, use a tsp of jalapeno juice)
1 teaspoon chopped garlic (or garlic salt if you don't have any cloves)
1/2 teaspoon both salt and pepper (omit the salt if you use garlic salt)

Heat them all together and stir, drink while its hot and your nose will be open and you'll feel a lot better!



Now, secondly -- nighttime remedy for cough,

This will be two things you will be able to do to help out cough

One - Have your child drink some warm tea with RAW honey before bed. Honey helps soothe sore throats and has infection fighting agents inside, so its an amazing thing to use to help those little throats.

Two - Take an onion, any kind should do but I always use red/purple, I usually pick a small one for my kids or a normal sized for myself. But you cut the onion in half and place one half on each foot right on the ball, take slightly smaller sized socks or socks that fit very snug and place those on top and sleep with them on all night.

No, I promise you wont smell like a gross onion in the morning nor will your bedroom or bed sheets.

Also, taking another onion and placing it beside your bed will help to clean the air around you and disinfect it as well.

Note: If you don't have any small kid sized onions I take a larger one and cut it in four slices, if its too big around, like the circumference then I usually cut it in half and place that on my kids feet and use what's left over to put beside their beds and in their bathroom and kitchen if I have enough left over since it helps to clean the air.


I know onion feet sounds weird but using this and the honey when my kids got the dreadful winter cough has had it cleared up within two nights and their enjoy it a lot better than taking cough medicine.


Please let me know how this worked for you, either one whenever you try it. <3
