Arnicare
From school sport and playground injuries to kids’ and caregivers’ anxiety, homeopathic medicine offers safer, low-cost solutions. The active ingredients in homeopathic medicines are diluted plants, animals and minerals that relieve the same symptoms they cause at full strength (i.e. a micro-dose of a coffee bean helps nervousness). Because the active ingredients are highly diluted, they don’t interact with other medications, herbs, etc., which is beneficial to seniors. These non-prescription medicines work naturally with the body and to rebalance it instead of numb symptoms, which is beneficial when dealing with a sports injury in case there’s a more serious condition than suspected.
NERVES
One in three moms says back-to-school season rivals the holidays as the most stressful time of the year, (a statistic borrowed from a press release from The Epsom Salt Council who commissioned a study, Aug. 2011). Here are some $7 solutions (for roughly 18 doses) easily found in health food stores including Whole Foods Market and The Vitamin Shoppe.
– Coffea cruda (Latin for green coffee) relieves sleeplessness due to mental hyperactivity. Try it when lying awake at night thinking about the next day’s schedule?
– Ignatia amara (Latin for the St. Ignatius bean) relieves nervousness and hypersensitivity due to everyday stress. Try it when you’re anxious about your tasks for the school fundraiser or feeling guilty if you can’t find the time to be involved. Or for children nervous about a new school or the first day of school or a big test.
BUMPS & BRUISES FROM SCHOOL SPORTS/PLAYGROUNDS
Great for seniors and kids alike, Arnicare treats muscle pain, stiffness, swelling from injuries and bruises in daily life more, and it won’t interact with blood thinners. Arnicare’s active ingredient is Arnica montana (which is Latin for the Mountain daisy). As a homeopathic medicine, Arnicare works differently. Instead of masking problems, it works naturally with the body to relieve sore muscle so the kids can get back to playing. It is unscented, non-greasy and absorbs right away, so it’s convenient and easy to use anywhere on your body. Considered an over-the-counter drug (not a prescription item), the gel can easily now be found everywhere from Whole Foods to CVS. Average retail price for a 2.6 oz. tube of gel is $9.99.

Coppertone
Sunscreen should be an essential component on every back-to-school list. You may be thinking, “sunscreen on back-to-school lists? But, it’s important to note the following:
· A significant portion of one’s exposure to the sun occurs during childhood
· Only two state policies exist that allow for sunscreen use during the school day
· Melanoma rates are rising among U.S. children, according to study findings
To bring awareness to this issue, Coppertone kicked off the 2nd year of the Making the Sunscreen Gradeprogram, which empowers parents, teachers and camp counselors to set strong examples for children and help make sun protection a priority during the school day. You can view more program information on this website.
Additionally, sunscreen itself should definitely be on every back-to-school list:
· Coppertone Sport AccuSpray was developed to solve a common frustration – the cloud of spray people experience when using a spray sunscreen. The product has a new patented technology that creates a more targeted spray for less mess and waste.
· Coppertone ClearlySheer, which comes in two lines – Sunny Days and Beach & Pool – was created to provide women with a sunscreen that’s just for them. The brand new formulas are both incredibly lightweight and sheer and won’t clog pores and cause breakouts. Sunny Days in particular, is a perfect, go-to facial sunscreen for high school/college students. It’s portable and can be thrown right into your makeup bag. The product is perfect under makeup while still providing that broad spectrum protection. It doesn’t smell like traditional sunscreen either – the hydrating formula has a fresh, clean citrus scent that won’t leaving you smelling like the beach.
