Boo Boo Balm

I have two boys so it is boo boo central around these parts. I am always seeing one of them with some new cut, bruise, or bug bite…especially my oldest son. But both my 8 year old and my 2 year equally love getting some boo boo balm applied to their “wounds”. We have been using two different brands of salve to save the day lately:

The Hero Stick by TruKid – This stick has an adorable name and it is great for making the “hurties” go away. And sorry if you are about to vomit with all the cutesy words, LOL. When my kids gets hurt they like to be babied. You just take the Hero Stick and rub it on the wounded area (bites, stings, cuts, crapes, burns, ect) and it immediately makes it feel better. I have been rubbing it on my own mosquito bites and I am liking the boo boo balm myself. It has natural ingredients…extra virgin olive oil, beeswax, comfrey, St. John’s wort, and Rosemary are a few. It is made with certified organic ingredients and it is paraben free. 100% pure and natural…good stuff. I really like the stick form because it is so easy to apply and doesn’t require you to get your fingers sticky.

The second product is the All-Natural Comfrey Salve from For My Kids. It treats the same type of wounds with organic, natural ingredients very similar to those above. It comes in a tin for easy application and smells wonderful. I have been applying it to dry skin and it works great for that too! This is a small mama run business to boot. We have put this one in our glove compartment so that we can just pocket it while going on walks and hikes in the nearby Metro Parks. If the kids get scraped by passing branches or get bitten by a bug we are ready.

If you are in the market for some boo boo balm these are some great contenders. And I swear you don’t have to call it “boo boo balm” if you don’t want to.
