Woman in Real Life

Over the years I have used many homeopathic medicines. There was a particularly demanding period there from when I was first pregnant on through the daycare years - somebody was always coming down with something or needing a boost of some sort.

Often we would visit our naturopath and purchase homeopathic medicines that she recommended. Sometimes I would research homeopathics on my own in one of the A-Z type natural healing guides I have accumulated over the years. But now there's no need to take up room on your bookshelf with a heavy tome, because there's an app for that!

Cuts, scrapes, bruises, muscle aches, dry skin - unfortunately all of these are inevitable parts of living. Especially when you are living life to the fullest - which we tend to do in summertime, when the air is warm and the possibilities for outdoor activities broaden.

I try to use homeopathic and natural remedies whenever possible. My dedication to these less "conventional" products heightened when we started a family over 13 years ago. I became very conscious about the need to put less chemicals in our bodies. (And, let's not forget, we absorb chemicals through the creams and cosmetics we put on our skin.) My family "toolkit" has always included Boiron's homeopathic products. They have a number of products that are vegan-friendly, such as Arnicare creams and gels and Cicadermine.
