Let me start by saying: I’m not a doctor, and I’m not here to shame medicine.
But I am a mama who has walked the path of worrying about sick babies, sleepless nights, and wondering if there was a gentler way.
And I found one.
Here’s how it happened..
When I was pregnant during the peak of COVID, I remember being terrified — not of the virus itself, but of what I might be forced into: isolation, overmedication, panic.
So I turned inward. I turned to food, nature, and instinct. I started researching natural remedies. And I haven’t looked back.
My son is now four years old, and we’ve made it through without the need for doctors visits. No cough syrups, no antibiotics — just good old-fashioned earth medicine and consistent, simple care that actually worked for thousands and thousands of years.
Lately, I’ve seen so many moms saying:
“This flu just won’t go away.”
“We’ve been coughing for weeks.”
“It just keeps coming back.”
So I’m going to share what’s worked for us — not because I think I know everything, but because I wish I had known this sooner in my life, thankfully motherhood made me go on a teuth mission. So here it is:
Detox Bath for the Whole Family
Why it works:
Helps flush out toxins, reduce body aches, and calm inflammation.
ACV rebalances skin pH
Bentonite clay draws out toxins
Epsom salts replenish magnesium for muscle support
How to make it:
1/2 cup Apple Cider Vinegar
1/4 cup Bentonite Clay
1/2 cup Epsom salts
Soak 20–30 min. Rinse well and hydrate.
🍋 Lemon & Honey Drink
Why it works:
Honey for its antiviral, antibacterial and theoat soothing superpowers.
Lemon for its high Vit C content and immune-boosting properties
Drink it warm for a soothing effect or add a dash of celtic salt and turn it into a natural cold lemon hydrating powerade.
🧅 Onion Trick (Ancient & Effective)
Slice raw onion under feet with socks on = helps draw out heat and mucus
Place half an onion in the room = natural air purifier + decongestant
Why it works:
Sulfur compounds. They pull. They cleanse. And helpnfight infection.
And while I don’t fully understand the science, I can tell you this: every time I forget to do it, I regret it.
Elderberry Syrup + Bonus Vitamins
II started making my own elderberry syrup when store-bought ones felt too sugary, overpriced and had way too many side effects listed on the back.
My mix includes:
1/2 cup dried Elderberries (immune-boosting flavonoids)
2 cups water
1 Tbsp Ginger (natural anti-inflammatory)
1/2 tsp Turmeric (supports healing)
1 tsp Moringa (my miracle green — seriously, I used it to help save animals during rehab days!)
Simmer 30 mins, strain
Cool + mix with 1/2 cup raw honey
👉 1 tsp daily for prevention or 3x daily if flu hits hard.
It’s potent, safe, and has honestly become a superhero in our home.
🧄Garlic + Ginger in Honey (Nature’s Antibiotic)
This combo is what I call nature’s antibiotic. Because it quite literally is!
Slice fresh ginger, peeled garlic cloves, and cover it in raw honey. After 3-5 days on the counter, it’s ready — and tastes better than it sounds. Move to the fridge and take a spoonful a day when symptoms start.
Three spoons when someone’s really down. Works every time.
PS: do not give honey to children under the age of one year.
Hand-Cup Back Taps
When my son was born, he had a bit of a chest — not serious enough for panic, but enough to keep me up at night, listening to every breath.
I wasn’t comfortable jumping straight to medication, so I tried something a friend had once shown me.
I cupped my hand and gently tapped his back — soft, rhythmic, hollow taps across his upper back and ribs, every couple of hours. Just enough to sound like a soft drumbeat.
That’s all I did.
No syrups. No meds.
And within 2 days… it cleared.
Whatever was sitting on his chest, loosened and lifted. To this day, it’s one of those remedies I can’t fully explain — but it works like magic.
We were made to believe we’re helpless without the pharmacy.
But I believe we were made to be healers — to know our children, to support their bodies, not just silence symptoms.
Nature gave us so much — we just need to remember how to use it.
You can feel confident in natural remedies.
You can build your own home apothecary.
And if you’re ready to try — just start with one. Maybe it’s garlic honey. Maybe it’s an onion under the bed. Maybe it’s a little trust in yourself.
You’ve got this. Now go heal yourself!
Till next time
Much love 💛
