medicine cabinet must have - PROBIOTICS


A lot of folks I know have been passing around various tummy problems lately. That reminded me of this great product and I just had to share. I recommend this to any family of any size : probiotics! Don't know what they are? They are similar to yogurt in that they are cultured bacteria that are good for your gut. You can take them in food, liquid, or capsule form. They help build your guts good "flora" and aid in your digestive and immune systems. They are highly recommended after a round of any antibiotics because they replace what was killed off during the "anti" biotics regimen and ward off the yeast overgrowth and other complications. They also help shorten the duration of nausea, vomiting, and diarrhea that mostly tummy "bugs" cause. There is all kinds but my favorite is Tummy Tune Up from www.beeyoutiful.com . I like it because everyone in my family can use it (I just open the capsule and use the powder inside for the littlest ones) and it is stable at room temperature (some kinds have to be refrigerated). Do any of you just LOVE probiotics? Any good testimonials of their effectiveness for folks who have never heard of them?

Health and Beauty - salves


Our family has tried many different health and beauty products over the years. One that we return to time and time again and actually pack in our diaper bag to take when we leave the house is Miracle Salve from www.beeyoutiful.com . It is made from natural herbs and bee products and works like a charm to reduce swelling of bumps and bruises and insect bites and instantly relieves pain. I've used it on those goose-egg welts kids get when they bonk their head on something and watch the swelling go down in front of my eyes. Once my mother was there to see it happen and was so shocked at how well it worked she went home and bought a stock of it for her own medicine cabinet. I bring it with me all summer for mosquito and yellow jacket stings/bites. It works better than anything else we've tried and the kids run for it when they need it because it works so well. We love this product and the wholesome ingredients it contains!
