Daily Supplements: Vit C, Nordic Naturals DHA (fish oils)
Bumps and Bruises: Arnica or arnica cream/stick
Headache: lavender oil in a diffuser, belladonna
Common Cold: vit C, kid's echinacea, tea tree and eucalyptus oil in the shower. I have the kids avoid dairy and citrus since both are mucus producing. I also like Boiron's coldcalm. I use a humidifier in their room at night. For Baby's I like Hyland's C+ Cold.
Thick Yellow Mucus: Boiron Pulsatilla
Cough: Olba's cough syrup (we refer to this a honey syrup)
Asthmatic Cough/Wheezing: lobelia really opens up the bronchial tubes and passageways
Lice Prevention: Use California Baby With Tea Tree oil, or add tea tree oil to your shampoo of choice
Pinworms: coconut oil based suppositories, externally use calendula ointment or California Baby diaper cream (it has zinc oxide which helps kill the worms)
Red Itchy Rectum: Use children's acidopholis as it may be a yeast problem
Croup: Boiron Spongia, lots of steam in the shower daily
Eczema: externally use florazone and bathe daily to remove any irritants from skin (our son had eczema off and on, turns out he has a dairy allergy. His rash was like smooth sandpaper. The bumps were very tiny and were mostly present on his belly and bum).
Rash, Skin Irritation: Boiron Apis
Tooth Pain: Use clove bud oil to numb inside the mouth
Teething Pain: chamomile tablets or Hylands Teething tablets/gel
Vomiting: Boiron Nux Vomica
Diaper Rash: for Prevention mix liquid grapefruit seed extract in a spray bottle with water, spay on diaper area each diaper change. I like California Baby or Weleda brands for diaper rash.
Bug Bites: Boiron Bite Care
Scratches and Scrapes: clean with soap and water, use colloidal silver spray, cover with a bandage

Natural Remedies: Adults
I've taught a class for church on several occasions on natural remedies. I use a mixture of nutrition, herbs, vitamins, homeopathy and aromatherapy.
Daily Supplements: Vit C, Flax seed oil
Headache: lavender oil in a diffuser, belladonna
Sore Throat: salt water or apple cider vinegar gargle, zinc lozenge
Common Cold: vit C, echinacea, grapefruit seed extract, tea tree and eucalyptus oil in the shower. I try to eat lots of fresh garlic and avoid dairy and citrus since both are mucus producing. I also like Boiron's coldcalm. If the mucus of particularly thick I use Fenuthyme.
Flu: Osscillococinum
Allergies: boiron histaminum hydrochloricum, nettle leaf, bio-allers animal dander for cat allergies, Benadryl for something hard core
Bowel and Kidney issues: licorice root helps to support the gastrointestinal tract, charcoal stops diarrhea in it's tracks
Women Specific
Menstruation: Hylands PMS tablets and Menstrual tablets dull the pain and keep me even keeled, Flax Seed oil in a higher dosage (1 3x/day) during PMS keeps me from having mood swings, Vit B helps with energy, exercise, clary sage oil in a carrier oil/lotion rubbed into abdomen
Pregnancy: Papaya tablets are great for indigestion and heartburn, to increase iron I use Floradix, liquid chlorophyll and alfalfa capsules. For an itchy rash caused by a bogged down liver i use a Liver support with Milk Thistle and Dandelion Root. Both clean out the liver and can be used through the pregnancy. In the last trimester I like Raspberry Leaf tea to strengthen my uterus.
Postpartum: Chakra 4 in Phoenix sells a Joyful Mother tea (for baby blues) I have heard great things about, but have yet to try. I have used their postpartum floral sitz bath mixture. It is so soothing and healing and smells like a great soup.
Disclaimer: I do nothing in the medical field, my only credentials are my motherhood and my experience as a patient and doctor to myself.
