Creating a Less Toxic Home: The Medicine Cabinet

As I began transitioning to a less toxic home, I started paying much closer attention to the medicines I was putting into my body. In the past, when I got sick, I would load up on anything and everything, hoping it would help. But most of the time, it felt like it took forever to recover—or like the medicine wasn’t really doing much at all. Looking back, I realized that some of the things I thought were helping were working against my body instead of supporting it.

That realization led me to search for better options for when my family or I get sick.

I also learned to trust my gut after taking my kids to the doctor multiple times. In one instance, a doctor wanted to put my infant under anesthesia, even though his symptoms were already improving. I’m so grateful I declined, because he’s barely had any breathing issues since.

Because of experiences like that, I now try to do everything I can at home first. I focus on supporting our bodies naturally before jumping to stronger interventions.

I take immune support not only when I’m sick, but also during times when I’m more likely to catch something. I don’t get sick often, and I truly dislike when I do—especially with young kids running around. Trying to care for little ones while not feeling your best is exhausting.

When it comes to my kids, I try to use the same remedies whenever possible. It keeps things simple and makes it easier for them—because getting kids to take anything can already be a challenge.

I keep some better options on hand for various illnesses, and these are some of my favorites that I have enjoyed using:
