Become a home & body free of toxins! We’re sharing easy swaps and all the best natural first aid and wellness products every home should have.

As you may have seen, we announced a new non-toxic series! Every week we’ll be sharing a helpful guide to replacing products in your home with the best non-toxic products on the market.

Below are the BEST non-toxic first aid and wellness products that are safe for you, your home, and the environment:

1. Best First Aid Gel: Sovereign Silver First Aid Gel

This is a somewhat new-to-me natural first aid product, but Hippocrates used silver to promote wound healing in 400 B.C. 😱 This silver first aid gel is the purest on the market containing just two simple ingredients – 99.999% silver and pharmaceutical-grade filtered water. It’s the only product you need for minor cuts, scrapes, burns, bug bites, bruises, and more.

In its purest form, silver is one of the non-toxic heavy metals known for its benefits in healing. In the 1960s, silver became the standard for wound care in burn centers worldwide. Unlike a lot of first aid gels, this one is clear, odorless, sting-free, non-sticky, and won’t stain your clothes. It’s also safe for all skin types and is incredibly versatile which is why I think every home should have it in their first aid bag.

2. Best Bandages: PATCH Bandages

Traditional bandages can contain chemical adhesives, and while the health risks are low with occasional use, they’re not your skin’s or the environment’s best option. PATCH bandages are made of bamboo, which is highly renewable, and finished with a mineral-based, pressure-sensitive adhesive. Plus they contain no plastics or toxins right down to the thoughtful packaging. This means they’re a 100% biodegradable, natural first aid product. In fact, they will even break down in your garden within weeks. They’re also latex-free, vegan-friendly, and cruelty-free.

You won’t compromise on effectiveness or durability with the PATCH bandages because the bamboo material is soft & gentle, and is even enriched with soothing aloe vera extract to help promote skin healing. To top it off, these natural first aid bandages are available for specific purposes like scratches, bites, burns & blisters, and even kids’ sizes.

3. Best for Bug Bites: SallyeAnder No-Bite-Me Bug Cream

No Bite Me bug repellent by SallyeAnder is extremely effective, smells incredible, and is so safe it’s considered edible. (Although, I don’t recommend eating it. 😉) It’s DEET-free, organic, hypoallergenic, free of palm oil, never tested on animals, safe for the Earth, infant-safe, and effective on black flies, mosquitoes, fleas, and ticks.

I love that it’s very moisturizing for your skin, thanks to the olive oil and beeswax, however, it won’t leave you feeling greasy like other bug repellants. It smells as amazing as it is effective and is formulated with a blend of essential oils including cedar, mint, lemongrass, geranium, clove, thyme, rosemary, and eugenol which lasts up to 4 hours. It’s also a great natural first aid option for after-bite care as well.

4. Best Homeopathic Medicine: Boiron

Boiron is the world leader in homeopathic medicine and offers multi-symptom solutions for your whole family. They have products for everything from allergies, pain, flu, and more, so it’s not just one product I recommend from this brand – it’s everything that suits your needs. Homeopathy offers healing without harm to your body like many traditional over-the-counter medications. The only active ingredients in Boiron’s homeopathic medicines are made from diluted extracts of plants, animals, minerals, or other raw substances found in nature.

Homeopathy has been used for more than 200 years and continues to be confirmed in pharmacological research and clinical studies. After having my oldest child tested for year-round allergies, I was determined to give him something that wouldn’t harm his body, and Boiron was our answer. The pellets are so small, making it easy to take the recommended microdoses, they’re safe for daily use, and don’t interfere with other supplements or medications. As a mom, I love that this solution for my son’s allergies gives him zero side effects.

5. Stress & Body Support: Natural Vitality Calm Magnesium

Having an adequate amount of magnesium in your body contributes to many amazing benefits, including bone health, better sleep, maintaining good blood pressure, better mood and so much more. Magnesium is essential for our bodies and is present in many foods such as spinach, almonds, black beans, salmon, avocados, and more. However, if you’re not getting enough magnesium from food, I highly suggest the Calm magnesium supplement.

Surprisingly, magnesium can even help you have bowel movements too. My daughter has struggled with constipation which has led us to the ER and turns out magnesium was just what she needed. Magnesium helps increase the amount of water in your intestines, which in turn can help with bowel movements. It also helps manage stress, release tension, and relax your mind so it’s a daily supplement many can benefit from. Natural Vitality Calm magnesium supplement is formulated with just magnesium carbonate and citric acid (a preservative that comes from lemon juice), boasts many certifications and the unflavored option does not contain any corn or derivatives of corn as many other supplements can contain.

6. Best for Immune Support: Sovereign Silver Bio-Active Silver Hydrosol

Silver hydrosol penetrates the membrane of bacterial cells, destroying bad bacteria and microbes from the inside out. Taking this dropper daily will help maintain, sustain, and support your immune system. It’s also tested by third parties to ensure the smallest silver particle size so it’s the most easily digested one on the market. Sovereign Silver is the only brand manufacturing in an NSF GMP-certified facility (the most stringent quality standards applicable to the Dietary Supplement Industry) and has been the #1 selling colloidal silver supplement for immune health in the U.S. since 2005. Needless to say, it’s the only silver you should be taking for your immune health.

Just like the Silver First Aid Gel I shared above, this silver product has just two simple ingredients – 99.999% silver and pharmaceutical-grade filtered water and it’s clear, odorless, and tasteless making it an effortless addition to anyone’s routine. It is allergy-free and can safely be taken up to 7 times a day for 70 years with zero side effects. 👏🏻
