I’m currently taking the Parent’s Guide to Natural Remedies online course. You guys. I can’t tell you how good this is. I really don’t have time right now to get wrapped up in this course (because hello graduation party, speaking engagement, end of the school year, everyday life, and many summer plans staring me right in the face). But every day or so, I pull up the course and click on another module to listen to – and I can’t stop listening. This information is incredibly helpful to me.
I’ve been trying to take some notes as I go. This is a crack up because I can’t write and listen at the same time because I’m afraid I’m going to miss more good information. Thankfully, I can go back and listen to and read the info over and over in this course.
I love being empowered to try home remedies first – before heading straight to the doctor. As the creators of Natural Home Remedies say, we know our kids better than any doctor. BUT, I also love that these ladies share information about when we DO need to take our kids in for doctor’s help. That’s always one of my biggest question marks. How much to treat at home…when to take them in. This course answers that. I’m loving this.
Here are some of the notes I’ve been scratching down. (But I can’t share all the specifics because the information in the Online Course isn’t mine to give out freely.)
~ Fever is Your Friend
I knew some of this already, but I didn’t know how much a fever kicks those healing white blood cells into gear. We should watch our kids’ energy level more than their temperature. Caution flags should go up with babies and when kids get dehydrated. Many more details are given in the course about what to watch for and how to treat.
~ There Are Many Reasons to Avoid Tylenol
Throw out the tylenol. Throw it out, throw it out, throw it out. I knew it wasn’t good, but I had no idea how bad it was. Wow. I’m so glad to know all this information from someone so studied and knowledgeable. Tylenol keeps the body from doing what it needs to do. It’s too easy to overdose, which really hurts the liver.
~ Everything we put on our skin is absorbed into the bloodstream.
It’s just like eating food. If you wouldn’t eat it, don’t put it on your skin. What a great way to help determine the safety of skin products and treatments. (Although I think an exception to this is essential oils. I don’t take them orally, but they are wonderful to put on the skin so they can absorb and get to work.)
~ A Urinary Tract Infection does not automatically mean you need an antibiotic.
There are natural ways to treat these at home first like unsweetened cranberry juice and chamomile tea, plus essential oils and more.
~ Be empowered to know the right questions to ask if/when you take your children to the pediatrician.
Yes. Thank you. The information shared in these modules helps so much with this.
~ There are many, many options for helping treat ear infections that do not involve antibiotics.
But you might begin with these two ideas before trying anything else: chiropractic care and cutting out dairy. If your child continues to have trouble, then try the many homeopathic remedies mentioned or treatments from a natural doctor.
~ Homeopathy is treatment that works with the body to help the body do what it is already trying to do to heal itself.
I guess I never heard a definition before. I know our bodies were made to heal themselves, and that sometimes when we’re sick we need a little help. I love knowing that homeopathic treatments simply give the body a boost of what it needs so that healing can occur when our bodies are weak.
This Course is incredibly professional, completely thorough, and wonderfully helpful for parents. I am so grateful to have all this information available. The cost for A Parent Guide to Natural Home Remedies is regularly $99, and is well worth that price because of all it includes. I can’t imagine how much money we can all save by practicing all of these home remedies and avoiding doctor bills. Plus, having all this information at our fingertips?? Priceless.

When I first started my training as a home birth midwife, I learned all about natural remedies. I am constantly learning new things. The notes you have written are spot on. I am thankful for all the young Mama’s who teach me daily how to be more natural in everything.
I missed the last bundle, not this time girlfriend. Going to buy it right now!
You can also use natural remedies on your pets. Our baby dog Cameron was prescribed NSAIDS for back pain. She is old and has arthritis and muscle aches causing her to limp. After a two week course we were told she’d need regular blood work to stay on the meds (which were helping her pain). Disappointed with all the possible side effects and extra needle pricks she’d have to endure, I opted to research natural treatments. She now takes Glucosamine Chondroitin and Arnica Montana everyday. We don’t have to worry about side effects. Her pain is gone and she no longer limps. She’s happy, we’re happy, and the vet is happy too. Here’s to being healthy, naturally. :)
My family has been using essential oils for two years in place of over-the-counter products. They have changed our lives. I’d love to send you some samples.
I am, at this very moment, researching a home remedy for a rash under one of my eyes. I’m sure it is probably a topical reaction to something I put on my skin. It is incredible how much we can find in nature to help heal our ailments. God did an amazing thing when He created us, didn’t He?
This course sound wonderful! Thanks for the info!
May He continue to fill your cup to overflowing.
I’d love to win this!
