This post is written in partnership with Genexa<\/a>.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n As a mom, I’m always looking for the best ways to take care of my family. The majority of this focuses on the basics of staying healthy<\/a>: quality sleep, whole foods, sunshine, activity, drinking water, and washing hands.<\/p>\n\n\n\n For the most part, these have worked really well for us. Still, life happens and we’ve caught our share of colds, stomach aches, and random bugs. <\/p>\n\n\n\n When those arise, we go for natural remedies<\/a>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Still, there are times that arise when I need the real <\/em>thing. <\/p>\n\n\n\n When Kaitlyn spikes a 103 fever at 2:00 AM; I want acetaminophen. <\/p>\n\n\n\n When Hailey is miserable and can’t sleep because her eyes are itching and swollen with spring pollen, I want diphenhydramine.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Traditionally that meant Tylenol for the former and Benadryl for the latter. That’s what I grew up with after all.<\/p>\n\n\n\n But did you know that many over the counter medications are typically 10% active ingredients? The other 90% is made from inactive ingredients, many of which contain artificial sweeteners and colors.<\/p>\n\n\n\n These medicines basically wrap what you need (the active ingredient) with inactive ingredients that are not necessarily so great for our bodies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Even knowing that, I used these for my family because there wasn’t an alternative option. Until now.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n Meet my new go-to medicine, Genexa<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
