7 Natural Remedies for Mom & Family

"There is no way to be a perfect mother, and a million ways to be a good one." -Jill Churchill

As moms, we always try our best to take great care of our children. And sometimes the best way we can take care of our babies and ourselves is through natural remedies. No longer simply old wives tales, more and more moms are finding out that natural remedies really do work.

At Happi Tummi we believe in natural solutions for our family. Whether you have a fussy baby or upset tummy, there is usually a natural remedy.

Here we've compiled our top natural solutions that every mom should know.

Use lemon essential oil to help a scratchy throat. Just add a few drops of lemon essential oil to warm water and honey. The lemon oil fights bacteria and honey acts as an anti-inflammatory that suppresses cough.

Use peppermint to improve concentration. Spritz peppermint essential oil on clothing, place a drop on the tongue or under the nose for improved concentration and alertness.

Use lavender to relax and sleep better. Rub a few drops of lavender essential oil on your little one's feet to help them relax. Or try using lavender as aromatherapy to de-stress, reduce anxiety and depression.

Use chamomile to put an end to nausea, vomiting, gas, and heartburn. Try chamomile tea to soothe an upset stomach. Chamomile tea also helps insomnia.

Use peppermint to relieve digestive symptoms, such as gas, bloating and indigestion. Peppermint oil helps by relaxing muscles in your digestive system and peppermint tea may provide similar benefits.

Use spearmint to help with bloating and IBS. Drinking spearmint tea also helps reduce stress and anxiety, and helps regulate your hormones.
