Holistic living means to actively and consciously participate and create life choices that support your healthiest physical, emotional, mental, and spiritual (belief system) health. Encouraging this option of living for children helps them to be healthy and grow into adults who consciously choose natural and safe resources to support their best health.
Holistic living options for your child(ren) can include:
- Send them to school with their own essential oil (Aromatherapy) hand sanitizer. Containing all natural anti-bacterial, anti-toxic, and antiviral properties, they will like the aroma and the way it feels on their hands.
- Schedule time together to clean toys. Get a bucket and mix water, clear vinegar, and essential oils of lemon, tea tree, and pine - a gentle, safe cleanser, while your child has fun playing in the solution and being responsible for the care of his toys.
- Camouflage spinach or other green leafy vegetables in cacao, dark chocolate, or carob smoothies (make sure that your child has no sensitivity to these options). Fruit smoothies work well too - s(he) may find the green color interesting and fun! Use a juicer. If your child is transitioning from drinking store/fast food bought beverages, save the container. When you make the smoothie, add it to the container, until he is comfortable with the full transition.
- Give him or her the opportunity to play in dirt, or better yet soil. Encourage your child to assist you to plant and pick herbs that you can use to cook with.
