I am known to most as Boho She Wolf, but there are two very special magical darlings that call me "BOBO". I have recently had the pleasure of being back with them on a regular basis. I love the magic of children, they believe anything is possible and nothing is impossible. They dream in the natural state, they truly have not learned any other way YET.
My two year old grand darling Aiden has been fighting a chest cold for weeks now. Every time I think we got this licked it re-surfaces. I am the grams of the old ancient ways, I believe in all natural healing and remedies from our dear sweet Mother Earth. I also believe that there is a remedy for everything that ails us. So I have been watching and listening for weeks and this one has me stumped.
So I started again today with my little man, we started with totally re-vamping his diet again. This time we went with only fresh vegetables and fruits (RAW was highly recommended). We made our homemade Vapor Rub
RECIPE VAPOR RUB
1/2 cup of coconut oil
30 drops Eucalyptus oil
30 drops of Peppermint oil
mix generously
Rub directly on the front side of the chest down to the naval area. Rub the entire back area following along the lung and rib cage area. Also cover the kidney areas as well. We do house socks here, so we also rub it on his feet.
I have started to check for all kinds of allergies a trying task indeed. We continue with breathing treatments filled with colts foot herb we use the diffused oil. One can always but the bulk herb and boil it down to get the consistency needed for the breathing treatment. I know I am missing something, I just can't put my finger on it. I would love to hear some of the remedies every one else had used and is tried and true.
We also are monitoring his rest and down time. Also very trying with a two year old. I also implemented a healing meditation that he listens to through the I-pod, it is engaging enough for him to get a least of good dose of energy.
I have made up a dose of the best congestion tea I have ever come across and trust me I am old, so have tried many. This one is the simplest and most effective, I don't start the cold season without lots and lots of batches. Now the recipe will follow, but if you are making it the wee ones, then you have to change it up a bit cause their palettes are little more sensitive.
RECIPE FOR CHEST CONGESTION (batch)
Ginger- 2 large peeled and shredded
Honey- organic is best, (extra bonus helps with allergies) I use 1 cup this varies to taste
Lemon- 4 big lemons extract all the juice but save the rinds.
Garlic- 4 gloves crushed
Raw Onion- 1 medium raw onion diced very very fine.
and I add a bit of cranberry concentrate to soften the blow of the taste for the kiddos.
I also use a green tea or white tea. - fresh leaves are best but bags will do use organic.
Cut and mix all ingredients mix together in a large mason jar. Let sit for 1 hour or more. Make ahead of time and store in nice cool space to ferment. Then boil the tea and steep for 15 minutes add two teaspoons full to each cup of tea. I place the kiddos in the freezer for a bit also add crushed ice and they guzzle it down.
Bobo's day today was all about healing and getting out of myself by engaging to help someone else. My agenda was to help my poor little wee one, and in turn it helped me as well. I needed a moment outside myself today, and this was the perfect outlet. I am truly blessed and so grateful that the universe continues to show me solutions and graces me so much beauty in my life. I am one lucky BOBO....
