Essentials for soothing bumps and bruises - keep these handy!

Sometimes the distraction is the best part of the cure.

Cuddles and kisses to make it all better are best, but these help too.

Tiger Balm: 

For muscle aches but sometimes just looking at the tiger and playing with the tin is enough.  Works a treat with growing pains.

Lucas' Pawpaw Ointment: 

A miracle in a tube!!  Soothes and heals burns like nothing I have ever seen (its a fixture in our kitchen drawer), and is the only moisturiser that works on my dry lips.

Frozen Ice Pops: 

Unopened they are good for putting on bad bumps instead of ice.  Also great for getting fluid into hot little bodies when you are worried about a fever or dehydration.  These lovely organic ones are from Real Nice.

Cute bandages: 

Our current favourite are these Rainbow Monkeys, hard not to smile at their funny faces.

Arnica Gel: 

Reduces bruising and soothes stiff muscles.
