Holistic Herbal First Aid Traveling

Posted by: Happy Safe Baby  /  Category: Baby Health

Packed and ready to hit the road?  Don’t forget to bring your first aid so minor bumps, bites, and boo boos won’t spoil your fun.

Here are several easy and natural herbal first aid tips for you and your traveling companions…

1. Bee Stings – Boo Boo Goo soothes these bites! If you’re out of Boo Boo Goo and are stung, you can temporarily use some dirt with a little water added. Apply on the bite and let dry, then flick off.

2. Headaches – Drink water! Two reflexology points are: Pinch the muscle between your thumb and pointer finger. Press for 6 seconds, release and repeat if necessary.

Or, an alternative method is to use your thumb to apply pressure on the circumference of the big toe.

3. Tummy Ache – On the left foot, under the pad, in the upper middle of the foot, gently press in a small circle several times.

4. Sunburn – Boo Boo Goo’s Aloe Vera, Lavender and Tea Tree essential oils give you immediate relief! When you have slight sunburn, slice a strawberry in half and rub on the area.

Strawberries are also excellent for brushing your teeth because they naturally whiten them!

5. Preventing Sunburn – White Birch has a white powder on its bark, that you simply rub with your hands and then apply over your skin.  It is a natural sunscreen!

To your good health,

Joanne

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.
