The Go Anywhere First Aid Kit - February 2020
Most parents know that just when you don't have it, you need a simple first aid kit. Just a small kit fitted with the basics for those playground scrapes and splinters or the accidents that happen while you are travelling from Point A to Point B.
You find yourself scrabbling around in the bottom of your handbag or in the glovebox for bandaids or tweezers, and kick yourself for not having a first aid kit handy.
Kick no more. You can put together a very simple and inexpensive first aid kit, that fits into a small makeup purse to keep in your handbag, and while you're at it, make one for the car and if you have one, the nappy bag. You won't be sorry, and you won't be scrabbling through the receipts and pens and loose coins and old tissues to find a bandaid when you need one.
What to Put in Your Go Anywhere First Aid Kit
The first thing to put into your kit is bandaids. Just plain old bandaids. They will fix a myriad of injuries until you can get to medical aid if needed.
Then add a pair of good, pointy tweezers. These come in handy for splinters and prickles and are good for pulling dirty and gravel out of skinned knees.
A packet of paracetamol will come in handy for headaches and muscle aches and pains.
A little bottle of Lavender oil (pure please) is next. Put a drop or two onto an injury before covering with a bandaid to keep germs at bay. Sprinkle a few drops on a hanky and apply to the temples calm nerves. Lavender sprinkled onto a pillowslip will help induce a calm sleep in an upset child. Dab onto bug bites to take away the sting and itch.
Something I always have on me is Bach Rescue Remedy. It's a homeopathic solution that calms the nerves and is safe for everyone, even pregnant women and babies. Rescue Remedy calms irritability and is a good treatment for shock, something that can often manifest after an accident.
Keep a bottle of peppermint oil in your first aid kit too. Peppermint relieves headaches, and eases motion or travel sickness.
And lastly a bottle of Thieves Essential Oil Blend. This combination of essential oils is a germ fighting marvel. Use it to clean toilet seats, taps, table tops and so on when you are out and about. It's also handy to use to wipe down door knobs, basins, toilets etc. if someone in the house is sick.
If you choose to use the essential oils in your first aid kit, please be sure to use pure, therapeutic grade oils. Yes, they will cost a little more. But they are safe to use and they go a very long way. Your initial outlay will be far more economical in the long run than buying cheap oils. There really is no comparison between pure essential oils and blended oils.
