stomach bug

Stomach bug going around your place too?

Stomach bug going around your place too?
Hey there! My name is Kara and I help other mama's achieve and maintain natural wellness. 

We have the stomach bug going on around here and I wanted to let you all know what we do to support those poor tummies!

First, Grab yourself some tummygize essential oil. This works wonders for even just helping the kids smell something other than the pukes. It supports a healthy digestive system!!! I grab that oil and slather it all over their tummies. Right in the belly button works GREAT. 

Second, equip the house with the BRAT Diet- Bananas, Rice, Applesauce, Toast Diet! Not much else to say about that one. 

Third, a warm or cool pack of rice for their tummies. I actually just fill an old long sock with rice, tie the ends and either put in the microwave for 20-30 seconds, or in the freezer depending on which you or your child prefers. Rice doesn't hold the heat or the cold super long, but its a great relief for a couple minutes!

These remedies have supported our needs and reccomend them to you and your family!

Meet Kara Johnson

 
Hello there!

I'm Kara, mom to 6 almost 7 and we live in Wasilla, Alaska. I am also a wife and a Registered Nurse. I love helping mom's in postpartum because that was where I struggled a TON with our first baby and have learned so much over the years that I have to share it with you!

We moved our family of 7 from Minnesota to Alaska in 2019. We love everything Alaska- We live in a postcard every day! We enjoy doing all the Alaska things such as camping, fishing, hiking and expoloring. If you mention "blueberry picking"- I'll be there!!!

I also have a good mix of integrative therapies as well as the knowledge of modern medicine- which is helpful for you as well! I use many different healing remedies in our home from essential oils to homeopathy as well as modern medicine. So welcome to my site, and it's so good to have you!


XOXO,

Kara, The Mom Nurse
