Answers:
Here is a list of some common "grocery store" products that I use all the time;
ProBiotic yogurt, good for constipation and yeast infections..
Apple Cider Vinegar, good for acid reflux, sore throat & lots more..
Zinc Lozenges, to fight an oncoming cold or flu..
Peroxide Drops, excellent at fighting ear infection..
Olive Oil, one teaspoon a day will keep you 'regular'..
Coco butter, great for getting rid of stretch marks..
Lavender Oil, apply a couple of drops in the bath to relax.. A drop behind each ear will keep head lice away..
Corn Silk tea, will fight bladder infections..
Sugar and soap mixed together and applied to an infected sore will help draw out infection..
Myhrr oil, will cure canker sores..
Epson Salts, use in a hot bath to soothe irratated skin..
Salt Water drops, to relieve stuffed up nose..

I'm sure there is more that I use, but these will get you started.. Of all of these home remedies, Apple cider vinegar is the one that I rely on the most.. It is great as an antiseptic, astringent, helps with so many aspects of your overall health - too many to list here.. Google it and you'll see what I mean..

Here's to your health!!Health Question & Answer

I wouldn't do any home medicating with natural remedies, especially with your 9mo son, since you don't know much about them.. I'm very knowledgeable about herbs and home remedies and I often hesitate to use them on my kids unless I know exactly how they'll work on kids.. A Naturopath (ND), Naprapath (DN), or Chiropractor (DC) would be a great doctoral source for looking to be more natural with you and your child's care.. also, an Osteopath (DO) is a medical doctor who tends to practice a little more natural.. My kid's pediatrician is a DO and he is not quick just to throw my kids on antibiotics and/or do blood work just because textbook says so.. He assesses the entire situation first and then makes a decision based on that.. We have avoided meds on many occassions because of this thinking and the alternative ideas he recommended resolved the issues.. Most docs would just opt for the meds..Health Question & Answer

There is a program called NAET -- lots of chiropracters and alternative doctors use.. It is very non-invasive.. It can probably get rid of 80 - 90% of what's wrong with you.. Look it up on the internet and find a local doc who uses it.. It's really good..
also, look into liquid zeolite..
Hope this gets you started..
