Our Natural Medicine Cabinet
We all want the best for our children. It is our responsibility to protect them. The best way to do that is through good nutrition, a healthy, active lifestyle, and herbal remedies. Our culture has been led to believe that we must run to the doctor for everything. Reliance on the medical model has taken knowledge, wisdom, responsibility, and power away from the parents and children and into the hands of doctors, hospitals, and pharmaceutical companies. It is time to get back to the ancient paths. It is time to restore our children and protect them adequately.
Below are some of the supplements we always keep in our cabinet to support the entire family for those times when we have little accidents in the home or feel a bit under the weather.
