Our Favorite Wellness Products for the Family
Bumps, bruises, and sniffles are some of the guarantees that come along with parenthood. Having a well stocked medicine cabinet can help your family get and stay healthy, and save unnecessary trips to the store with a child who isn't feeling his best.
Parents, what health and wellness products do you like to keep on hand for when someone needs some TLC? Add your favorite to the list!
Always use caution when using medications or essential oils with kids and consult your doctor to be sure that any new treatment is safe for your child.

Vicks Advanced Waterless Vaporizer
Kristy Pepping said: For little kids who can't take a lot of medicine, these are great to plug into their room. They come with cartridges that let off Vicks vapor and help clear their stuffy heads so they can sleep better.

Boiron ColdCalm Baby
Hannah Scott said: I'm always wary of medicine for the littlest members of my family (and the big members too, now that I think about it) so a homeopathic remedy that WORKS is always welcome! Boiron's ColdCalm ticks all the boxes as a safe and effective cold remedy. We love the adult version too!

InnoGear Essential Oil Diffuser
Chrissy OGorman said: This is a wonderful combination of a diffuser and humidifier. The soft glow from the LED lights makes it perfect to put in your child's room where it can double as a night light.

Sambucol Black Elderberry Syrup
christadiserio said: Elderberry wellness products are ideal for kids who are out and about. This helps to boost the immune system, especially against colds and flu-like symptoms. The best part is that it's all natural and has a pleasant taste for the kids.

Maty's All Natural Baby Chest Rub
Kelly R. said: For parents who prefer natural wellness products for coughs and colds, this all natural petroleum free vapor rub eases coughing and congestion with eucalyptus, lavender and chamomile. The soothing formula helps promote relaxation and sleep.

FridaBaby Natural Vapor Bath Bombs
Kelly R. said: These kid-safe bath bombs contain eucalyptus and lavender oils for fizzy relief from cold and flu symptoms during bath time.

Green Sprouts Cool Calm Press
Kelly R. said: We have a couple of cute cold packs in our freezer that the kids like to pull out for their bumps and bruises.

Helios Natural Pure Relief Spray
Gina I. said: Made from 6 pure essential oils and 22 powerful botanical compounds, Helios smells as great as it works! Rub it on sore muscles, joints and sprains for all natural relief. Not only does it provide fast, soothing pain relief, but it's safe enough to use on kids.
