Natural Products I Use To Keep My Family Healthy (From Immunity to Cleaning)
Kill Those Nasty Germs!!
Since we are all going to have to deal with this Coronavirus, I just wanted to share some products that I have grown to love, over the years. Having kids, you always want to be ready and stocked with germ killing cleaners. I like to stay as natural as I can, but when I need something that is going to totally eliminate all germs on hard surfaces, carpet, and couches, I use Hydrogen Peroxide Hospital Grade Cleaner made by Clorox. It is bleach free and will kill most all bad stuff in 30 seconds and the other bad ones in one minute, such as these nasty viruses that are so scary! You will want gloves when using this. I leaned about this stuff a few years ago by following a Mom that is a scientist. She sets up controlled studies in her home and tried out different cleaners to see which ones really work. This one made the top of the list for killing, basically everything. I use this often during flu season and if someone in the house is sick. It is wonderful to order and keep on hand in the event of sickness. This cleaner also cleans spots in the floor, works on mold, and even grease! We Love it and you will too!
My Favorite Natural Product: Nixall
Nixall is made in Nixa, MO. It is one of the most wonderful products that I use multiple times per day. It is gentle, but KILLS germs and is safe for everyone! You dilute it down with water so it ends up saving you money. I can use it to disinfect any area including the high chair. I use this as a hand sanitizer & spray for my fruits and vegetables. Also, my daughter had an infection in her nail bed and by soaking her finger two times per day for 2 days, it was healed up and she never needed antibiotic!! It works by helping to repair the damaged skin. Seriously, the most effective and versatile product you will ever use. I LOVE it! You can order from their website: www.nixall.com **I am not an affiliate for this company, I just LOVE it!**
Natural Supplements for Children
I am often asked what I give my kids for vitamins and other supplements. This is an area of our lives that I take very seriously. I am so Thankful for options and the ability to take natural products. It is so important to take care of ourselves and our children before they get sick. I am happy to say, between all three of my kids, only one has had to be on an antibiotic, just once! Most of the time taking vitamins and a good probiotic, will prevent the sickness all together. Keeping your gut healthy is the number one key to having a great immune system. Everyone should be taking a good probiotic everyday, not matter what your age is. Also staying away from refined sugars and trigger foods, will also help, tremendously!! Below, are the items I love and have used for all my kids. The links for each of these are under the picture. The powdered probiotic is not online. It has to stay refrigerated and needs to be purchased in a Health Food Store.
Helpful Immunity boosting Greenz and Inner ear support
I Love the products from Animal Parade. They are pure and have so many ways to help our families build their immune systems. These are not just for kids. My Husband has been taking the Greenz and can see a great difference in the way her feels. It has even helped with his muscle cramps! As an adult, he takes two per day. These are also great for those toddlers and older kids that are picky eaters and won’t eat their green vegetables. The inner ear support has specific nutrients in them to help drain the ear, nose, and throat. They have helped and taste good too.

Major Immunity Booster against Viruses…Elderberry Chews
These chews taste so good, my family thinks they taste like fruit snacks. They are wonderful virus fighting machines. I just read this last week, that elderberry has been proven to kill off virus cells in the body. What a great product to keep for your family. We take one or two per day to help with sickness prevention.
My Family’s choice for a Natural Anti-Viral Product: Monolaurin
My Family has been going to a Natural Chiropractor for about 14 years. She is AMAZING and has helped my family so much over the years. It is because of her and her whole food supplements, that my family has never had to seek the use of antibiotics! We were introduced to this wonderful product about 14 years ago. It has saved my family many times over the years with viruses and illnesses. Monolaurin does kill a virus! We are never without it and feel it is a great thing to have at all times.
Probiotic for Teens and Adults
Pictured above is the Probiotic that the older kids, my husband, and I take, daily. It works great and there are never any side effects. I also love that it isn’t expensive to purchase. Just remember to place it in the fridge after opening. Click on the picture above to check it out.
Ways to help when our babies get sick
I know that natural and homeopathic products have always been highly scrutinized by the medical industry. This has made everyone scared and so skeptical to even try them. Remember, I am not a doctor and am not trying to push anyone to use these items. I just want to explain how Thankful I am that these products exist for my family. We have used these products during the flu, croup, common cold, RSV, allergy issues, and teething. Due to using these products and a few other natural whole food supplements, I have been able to keep all my kids from ever needing an antibiotic. It stops things before they ever get out of hand. If I wouldn’t have given them a try and done my research, I don’t know what I would have done.
Do you want to know how my Husband and I know they work? Well, we tried them out for ourselves. I remember having a really bad cold one year and couldn’t get relief. I tried the cold and cough and cough syrup at bedtime. What a difference! I could breathe, didn’t cough, and was able to rest peacefully. So, the entire family uses this and knows there are ways to help without any side effects or harmful ingredients. Homeopathic products work to help boost your own immune system so it works more efficiently to fight whatever it is you have. It sometimes takes a couple doses to see a total change.
Like I said, this works wonders for us and it is a safe alternative to other over the counter medicines. The oils in the picture are from the Young Living kids line of oils. We have also had wonderful success using these. My favorites are TummyGize, SleepyEyes, and Sniffleease. I still use a carrier oil with these baby oils. I feel like toddlers skin is still very sensitive and need an extra barrier.
Here are the links to some of these products:
*Hyland Cold and Cough (ages 2-12)
*Hyland Baby Cold and Cough (ages 6 months and up)
Remember, I am not a doctor and am not trying to push anyone to use these items. I just want to explain how Thankful I am that these products exist for my family. This is just an opinion and my personal experience using these products.
For more cleaning product experiments, check out this website called Stop the Stomach flu. It is really interesting information. See if your cleaner at home is actually killing those germs!!
**Remember, I am not a doctor so make sure and do your own research about these products. I am just sharing the natural ways that have worked for my family over the years.**
