earth month: natural remedies

i love natural remedies. and right now i'm so excited about this one.

my little sister mindy had some plantar warts that wouldn't go away even with different treatments from her doctor...and he told her she'd have to deal with them for life. well then she read online about using apple cider vinegar to remove them.

and IT WORKED.

well a couple weeks ago i noticed a bump on sage's knee and sure enough it was a little wart.

i soaked a little piece of cotton in apple cider vinegar and then rung it out well and used athletic tape to hold it onto her knee.

i am lame and forget things constantly.

so i have only done this for 3 different nights. (not in a row even)

but it blows my mind because the wart is already gone and there is just a tiny bump left.

we'll continue to do this a few more times to be sure it doesn't come back.

when i told sage i was going to post about this on my blog and that some people go to the doctor for warts she said, "ummmm. why don't the doctors just tell people to use apple cider vinegar?!"

i know that warts are one of those things that people get embarrassed about and rarely talk about. but i just had to post about it because it's amazing.

do you have a favorite natural remedy?

I am loving doterra natural oils! Peppermint & lavender ... Kwinton had a fever for 4 days and I hated giving him so much Tylenol to keep his fever down! We applied peppermint topically to his feet and diffused lavender in the air and it seriously made his fever go away and make him feel better! I swear natural stuff is better!!

Definitely keep doing the stuff until there is no sign that it was ever there! Gotta get the whole root. Its like the best thing that I ever heard of!! So cool

This is a great remedy!!!! i had the worst ugly wart on my finger when weston was a baby. it took ACID treatments to get rid of! I will for sure be trying vinegar next time!...One thing that's been a blessing of a remedy for us is L-Lysine. It's basically an amino acid that your body doesn't make and that you only get through food. Taking a tablet(once a day for a child or twice a day for an adult)works wonders to clear of cold sores! I have been told that if you take L-Lysine everyday, you wont get cold sores anymore (if you are prone to get them). I can't remember to give one to Kaitlyn everyday though. :}

Apple Cider Vinegar works wonders on deep pimples too. The ones that haven't come to the surface but hurt worse than anything. Put some of the vinegar on a cotton ball and rub on it. After a couple of days doing it it's gone!
