Summer brings great opportunity for kids to be outdoors with fun activities. More time outdoors is healthy, but can make children more vulnerable to some–hazards extensive sun exposure, insect bites, poison oak or ivy, and skin exposed to more cuts, abrasions and other injuries. Fortunately, you can protect your child from most dangers without exposing them to more toxic drugs or chemicals.
The most important remedies to have on hand include activated charcoal, aloe vera gel, lavender, tea tree oil, calendula, and black salve.
