Introduction:
Sometimes our little ones get a boo
boo, and the fear from their injury is far greater than the boo
boo itself. For these times when your little precious one is crying
hard but the boo boo is minor, have him/her help you make this easy
recipe. It gets them involved in learning first aid, helps take
their mind off the boo boo, and the lavender blend helps calm them
and kill a few germs. Note: This recipe isn't intended for
serious cuts/scrapes or injuries.
Ingredients:
- 1 Cotton Ball
- Witch Hazel - enough to saturate the cotton ball
- 1-2 drops Lavender
Directions: Depending on the
age and abilities of your little one, have him/her help you by saturating
a cotton ball with witch hazel. Then, apply one drop of lavender
to the saturated cotton ball. Have your little one smell the "boo
boo juice." Since lavender helps bring calm, the aroma can
be soothing. Then, apply the boo boo juice to the minor cut/scrape
or allow your little one to take charge and do it. Apply a band
aid if necessary.
Alternative Method: If you prefer, you
can create a pre-blended bottle of boo-boo juice to have ready for
those minor cuts and scrapes. Add 1 ounce of witch hazel to a clean
glass bottle. Then, add 5-6 drops of lavender. Be sure to shake
well prior to each use. I prefered to use the directions above when
my daughter got little cuts and scrapes, as the process of "making"
the boo boo juice really helped take her mind off of her injury.
