How To Use BooBoo Bear & Friends

Posted by: Happy Safe Baby  /  Category: Baby Health

What is a BooBoo Bear? The Boo Boo Bear™ is a handcrafted warm/cool herbal pack which provides cuddly comfort for tummy, ear, muscle aches and for many types of common “booboos” that happen as babies and young children grow up.

Without chemicals and stinging treatments, it provides a completely natural way for you and your child to sooth the pain and trauma of those accidental bumps and bruises.

Are they easy to use? Absolutely!  You just heat them in the microwave for 1 to 2 minutes in order to provide a warm and soothing friend for your child to hold themselves. For the future, it can be kept on the shelf or as a friend in your child’s room. Or, for a quick cool pack, in the refrigerator for scrapes, sprains, or any other boo boos your child may encounter.

So, how do you use them? Take a look below to see…

1. Encourages Children To Be Involved And Connected With Their Healing

Children feel scared when they are hurt and in pain often because they don’t know why it hurts or how to stop the pain. By giving them a BooBoo Bear, they have a tool to use for themselves to help stop the pain and heal their “booboo”.

2. Contains Soothing Relaxing Herbs (Aromatherapy)

Aromatherapy herbs are the key to how BooBoo Bear and his friends help sooth and heal. The scents of chamomile, lavender, and peppermint have their own unique natural properties that work with the body to nurture the healing process. In essence, lavender is restorative and relaxing, chamomile has a gentle sedative effect, and peppermint stabilizes that is useful for muscle pain and stiffness.

3. Warm/ Cool Therapy

BooBoo Bear works to sooth and calm quickly whether it is warmed up or cooled down. By placing your BooBoo Bear, or for example, his friend Meowies for Owies in the microwave for only 1 or 2 minutes you can use it’s warm herbal scent to sooth ear aches, tummy aches, or muscle aches.

Or, for cool therapy just place it in the refrigerator and later, when you need to sooth an aching sprain, for instance, and put your BooBoo Bear or one of his friends gently on it.

4. Color Therapy

Most restaurants learned years ago that red stimulates an appetite, while blue tends to make people feel calm. BooBoo Bears have taken color therapy a step further by using soft, soothing, cheerful colors on all their products. Soft blue, pink, beige, cream, violet, and similar shades of various colors are all designed to bring out positive, comforting feelings for everyone that uses BooBoo Bear or any of his friends.

5. All natural filling straight from Mother Earth

It is nice to know that when your child puts their BooBoo Bear on their aching tummy, only natural, harmless herbs are at work to help comfort and heal. They can hold their bear for hours if they like, letting the herbal filling continue to work.

Special Note

It is good to know that Boo Boo Bear Herbs for Hurts products, are Class 1 medical devices which meet all Health Canada Regulations.

BooBoo Bear, Meowies for Owies or any if his other friends make a unique baby gift that helps to give the child more self confidence and a gentle friend with a purpose.

What Is BooBoo Bear Aromatherapy?

The Person Behind It

After years of experience in child development, herb sciences, as well as natural healing, Ms. Kelly Chobotiuk founded Herbs for Hurts for aromatherapy healing for children. Beginning in 1997, she recognized a strong desire for natural, gentle health products for babies and children, and made her very first product the herbal Bear.

The Idea Behind It

She first began selling herbs from her garden in a local farmers market. This small business started growing when she started talking about the benefits of using herb aromatherapy and other natural healing products to parents. It quickly become obvious to her then that there was a huge need for products that are simple and safe to use. That was when the herbal Bear warm/cool pack was born.

The Healing Concept Comes To Fruition

The first BooBoo Bear™ actually looked different then the one offered today. The founder’s mother, Mary-Lou, made the design you see today. From then on, numerous products have been created and added, such as the BooBoo Bunny™, Angel for Aches™, Snakes for Aches™, Lavender Love Pillows™, Massage Butters, and children’s Room Sprays. There are still ongoing plans to create more products that offer healing for our babies and children.

It is very important to the founder and the company to share the information on how to use both the herb aromatherapy and pure essential oils. Educational literature is also provided in each BooBoo Bear and Friends package on how to use the herbs for healing.

Even moms are connected to their effort to spread the benefits and education about healing herbs. A work creation project was started in Calgary (Alberta, Canada), hiring single moms to work out of their homes cutting, sewing, and stuffing the BooBoo Bear. The founder believes that women should have the chance to work in a flexible, supportive work environment while they raise their families without putting their infants and children in outside care. More plans for the future include a manufacturing facility with childcare on site.

The truly caring spirit of BooBoo Bears not only goes into the product itself, but into it’s method of manufacture as well.
