Natural Solutions for your Medicine Cabinet
Each family needs a few supplies on hand for when injury and illness strike, but did you know there are many simple safe solutions that may be better and dare I say even more effective than the typical things you can find on the shelves of the local big box store?
Besides bandages, hydrogen peroxide, and tweezers, here are the A-team products and strategies from Shaklee that we keep on hand for those occasions when someone has an injury or is beginning to get sick.

For Cold and Flu Symptoms
Triple Defense Boost - Power your immune system with a great-tasting berry-flavored drink mix, packed with vitamins C and D, zinc, plant-based adaptogens, elderberry, and more. Supports, boosts, and defends your immune system, with ingredients shown to boost Natural Killer cell activity by 3x and critical immune cells by 5.8x. We love this product either hot or cold.
Defend and Resist - Power up your natural defense system with zinc and herbal ingredients, including echinacea, black elderberry, and larch tree, that have been shown to support healthy immune function. You can chew, swallow, or use the tablets as tea. It is a great “stop the problem in it’s tracks” solution.
For Wounds/Aches and Pains
Pain Relief Complex - This patented blend of Boswellia and safflower extracts work synergistically to help relieve discomfort from overexertion and also promote flexibility and comfortable movement after exercise. Gentle on the stomach and aspirin-free, naturally.
Joint and Muscle Pain Cream - This deep-penetrating formula contains natural plant extracts with pain-relieving, cooling menthol, providing relief from minor pain associated with backaches, post-workout soreness, and more. Oh my goodness – this stuff is terrific!
Herbal Blend Multi-Purpose Cream - Cooling mentholated formula is enriched with natural extracts, including rosemary, chamomile, corn oil, and salvia to nourish stressed skin. Good for so many things from callouses to burns to cuts. My Mom loved to slather it all over her body!
For Tummy Troubles
Stomach Soothing Drops - Find fast relief from occasional nausea and upset stomach. Stomach Soothing Drops* help calm and settle your stomach with a powerful-but-gentle blend of vitamin B6 and ginger in a soothing lozenge that tastes great. Super simple and effective.
Stomach Soothing Complex - Helps you relieve and soothe an upset stomach by combining peppermint, ginger, fennel, and anise—four of nature’s best solutions for stomach discomfort. My family finds this to be far superior to other tummy trouble products.
Performance Low-Calorie Electrolyte Drink Dehydration can be a serious thing when kiddos and adults are fighting a sickness. Using natural electrolytes from coconut water, this provides the essential electrolytes your body needs without the extra sugar, calories, and artificial ingredients. Tastes great and is refreshing too!!
For All Kinds of Things
Basic H2 – What is a multipurpose cleaner doing in the medicine cabinet?? Lots!! When you need to clean up after an injury it is safe, non-toxic and gentle on your skin. Plus, it removes blood stains and other messes from fabric, carpet and favorite stuffed animals. Additionally it has been known to sooth burned skin and help speed up healing.
