Ear Infection’s

Our family had a blast last weekend as we were able to join our Church family in the local Christmas Parade. It was the first time we’ve ever been in a parade and because of my lack of loving the cold our children have never even been to a parade. So I did all I could to prepare them all for the freezing cold weather. Layer upon layer of clothing, hats, gloves….the list goes on. Now when it’s all said and done I have a child with a cough (See “Breathing Treatments” for recipe) and one with an ear infection. This post will show you how to tell if your child’s has an ear infection and excitingly enough it will also heal it at the same time. Here goes 🙂

WARNING: Contact your medical provider and ask if this safe for your child before trying this recipe if there is a ruptured drum or previous ear problems. If you are unsure…please do NOT attempt this!!!

Supplies to gather –
1)Hydrogen Peroxide
2) paper towl (toilet paper…whatever you have)
3) Qtips
4) Small medicine cup for measuring medicine to children.
5) a treat for your child when it’s all over….trust me on this

Now that you have your supplies all gathered here are step by step directions.

Step 1) pour about 2 tsp hydrogen peroxide in the medicine cup fill the remainder with water.  (This usually allows me to treat all 5 kids and myself)

Step 2) pour hp (hydrogen peroxide) from the medicine cup into your child’s ear. You will fill the ear canal until hp is in the outer portion of the ear (see picture)

Step 3) place your finger behind ear (see picture) and press gently. Rubbing behind the ear will help the hp get down in the ear canal and treat even the deepest of infections.

NOTE: your child will complain. It is cold and uncomfortable…not painful. Your child will hear bubbles in their ear ….this is when you will begin to see white bubble coming up. (If your child’s is in pain STOP immediately and get hp out of the ear and see your family practitioner.)

4) Allow the hp to sit in your child’s ear for 1-2 minutes (as long as they’ll allow you….slowly increasing time every treatment)

5) Place paper towel or toilet paper wrapped up in a thick square on your child’s ear. Have them tip their head so they are laying on the paper towel allowing the hp to drain out of the ear canal. (The child may want to tip their head around so as to be sure it all drains out).

6) Gently Clean the outside of the ear after treatment but be careful not to place Q tip in the ear canal as that can be very dangerous.

7) Repeat on the other side 🙂

8) Repeat entire routine every hour or as often as possible. Continually using this treatment will completely clear up infection.

It is possible to have an infection in one ear and not the other. One of our sons always had bad ear infections after a bad fall to his head. After several months of treatment he almost never has ear infections anymore. This child would be up every night after his accident crying from pain in his ears. TRUST ME THIS WORKS. 🙂

Final thoughts – I HIGHLY recommend using preventative measures. In our home we put “Bragg Organic Apple Cider Vinegar” in our ears about 1 time a week or even every other week. ACV (Apple cider vinegar) had SO MANY amazing healing properties. Please use organic as the other stuff does Not work. Use “Bragg Organic Apple Cider Vinegar with the Mother” The mother (floating stuff on bottom is what has all the good stuff).

Let us know if you use this and share your testimony here with others. 🙂

Breathing Treatment’s

One thing that is so hard to watch as a parent is your children struggling to breathe and/or going into coughing fits.
Clean Breathing began because one of our sons went through this every time we cleaned. Chemically filled toxic cleaning product were causing our son to not live life to its fullest. So by wisdom from the Lord Clean Breathing cleaning products were created.

This remedy however is for those nasty croupy type coughs that we or our children can get. They are not fun and if not treated quickly can lead to many sleepless nights and miserable days. Our goal is to help you get well soon. So here goes.

Supplies needed:
– Large glass bowl or a microwavable bowl
– Bragg Organic Apple Cider Vinegar with the Mother
– Water
-Large Beach Towel

Directions:

1) Get your bowl and fill it to almost full (but not so much that the water will spill)

2) Depending on the microwave heat the water to almost boiling 3-5 min…maybe longer (the bowl should be too hot to touch. You should need to use oven mitts)

3) Using your oven mitts remove bowl from microwave and place on table (or area where you can easily sit for several minutes)

4) Add about 1/4 cup ACV (Apple cider vinegar). I personally don’t measure I pour until it looks good and smells strong.

5) Place child on your lap facing the bowl. Hold babies arms (so they don’t get burned by hot water or bowl). Older children can sit in chair on their knees with head over bowl.

6) Place a large beach towel over yours and your child’s head (or over your older child) and breathe in the steam from the water and ACV.

7) Try to have your child breathe through their mouth as much as possible…nice deep DEEP breaths. This will help the lungs and help mucus break up.

Try to repeat this treatment every hour but at least as often as possible. The more you do it the quicker you and/or your child will recover.
